- cacrus, on 08/18/2008, -6/+3It is a sad day for the country ,
The most corrupt people in country have managed yet again to come back in power and oust any resistance standing in their way of looting .
Musharraf was the only leader who honestly , gave his country top priority than any things else .
The only person having guts to stand against any force threatening his country interests and sovereignty.
Those who think it happened for the good of "Democracy" should understand that in Pakistan the democracy scenarios is much like "democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner."
Well , now both the governing parties have nothing to glue them together , the differences will soon arise and again someone from Army will think "enough is enough " and we will have the same cycle of misfortunes again and again . - alimalik, on 08/18/2008, -8/+3Finally Pakistan is free from an idiot.

- AlwaysAwake, on 08/18/2008, -2/+2Shortly after 9/11 Musharaff was visited by a US envoy making it clear that Bush had very narrow definitions for allies and enemies. For Pakistan to be an ally, Musharaff must accept US Hegemony in all its affairs, or the US would ignore the sovereignty of Pakistan, and Musharaff could watch Pakistan become the recipient of continual American military bombing attacks. Aware of what that meant for his personal ambitions, he chose to become an unwilling ally to the US SE-Asia ever-changing, hodge-podge agenda From that point on, having caved in to US threats, Musharaff was at odds with the majority of his own people, who have finally lost their fear of the American paper tiger, and forced Musharaff to resign, or be impeached. Seeing the shift in strategy for Bush-Cheney-CIA, toadies to The Imperial Rothschild 200 Year Dynasty Empire, by false-flag bombing the Indian Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan, and blaming it on Pakistani officials, Musharaff is aware that Pakistan is now firmly in the Bush "enemy" category. The whole point of that bombing was to ensure that India will be an ally in the Rothschild engineered World War III, already underway, and soon to be "officially" announced, and the doom of Muslim Pakistan is now sealed. That leaves only China as a possible impediment to Rothschild ambitions to lend fiat "money", and sell weapons to all sides, while acquiring control over the extensive natural resources of oil-rich Mid-East Muslim nations, and Russia, the prime targets of the war. The Rothschilds have planned to "sacrifice" an unsuspecting Israel in the war, strictly for the "public relations" propaganda benefit that will result, having set them up, along with the US, as the focus of justifiable Muslim resentment and hatred, successfully deflecting world attention from the real source and purpose of the Rothschild-EU-NATO, soon to be acknowledged as the leaders of The New World Order, displacing an already doomed USA.
