hamidm #115: you are beginning to sound more and more like baghdad bob. who in his right mind would vote for a self-proclaimed criminal (which is what musharraf is when he proudly announced to the world press that November 3 was the "first time" he had broken the law!!).

mqm sided with the dictatorship and committed murder on May 12, remember? you may forget this betrayal, but the rest of Pakistan will not forget so soon.

tahmed,

..... i think that if musharraf can still do the right thing by stepping down and appointing an interim civilian president - that way he will cut down on the noise and let the politicians duke it out ....... he can still have a political career by taking over pml-q or the mqm ..... why not the mqm?

......... in the next few days the emergency will be lifted and geo will be back on air ..... however the cj will not be reinstated and imran khan will not be able to add another member to his party ..........now please give up your protest .....

Re: # 110

Masadi: " Iran strike by the US under Israeli flags might require a Pakistan crisis with US troop buildup in the dismembered sections of Pakistan as future buffer against spillover from it."

So really think, the US is going to do it? I think you are in cloud cuckoo land.... the US need not dismember pakistan...Pakistan is already a part of the plot... the civilians are going to take the hit (whether it is BiBi or Nawaaz)...the army will come out of it fine and sol will the geographic limits of pakistan. Bibi if she survives the next few years will have mre mansions in surrey to her name and few islands in dubai to her hubs name....

What Pakistan Needs
Cutting Aid Is the Wrong Move at the Wrong Time

By Robert B. Oakley (former US Ambassador to Pakistan) and Joshua Yaphe
Monday, November 26, 2007, Washington Post

..Instead of cutting aid, we should work to bring about discussions between the army and civilian political leaders on appointing a senior civilian to serve as interim president, replacing Musharraf. Given the strain the military has been under, senior military leaders may prefer this option to find a way out of the current situation. (Appointing a powerless interim prime minister and cabinet changes nothing.) An interim government could then prepare for truly free and fair elections and a return to the rule of law, with the state of emergency lifted and civil liberties restored. ..
Yesterday, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif returned from exile, apparently with the support of Saudi Arabia. This probably will mark the end of Musharraf's political career. ..But it has been a long road rebuilding U.S.-Pakistan relations, and we cannot afford to damage them again at this sensitive moment.

The two main fronts on the farcial "WOT" have been Iraq and Pakistan, Afghanistan was no part of it except as distraction, and if we follow the train of events this farce has come full circle as in Iraq, on the streets of Pakistan. With the upcoming Iran strike by the US under Israeli flags might require a Pakistan crisis with US troop buildup in the dismembered sections of Pakistan as future buffer against spillover from it. Maybe the US has decided it no longer wants to work with the Pakistan Army and so wants to take them out as a factor...thus far it is just speculation but the trends and patterns point to it. The surrounding vultures, Afghanistan and India, might be quite happy with the scenario. The new order post 9/11 with the US making its footmark all across(spreading like a deadly virus), is a fact that fools deny at their own peril.

Re: # 60

HP rather melodramatic, are you not?

I mean what can really happen here, that has not happened before? The vacumn will be filled.....

unless you are a pessimist like Masadi is right now...

I am not sure what you guys are on about....would you care to tell us a little bit more...

Re: # 99

This is very strange indeed .... esp coming from a man known to be both verbose and belicose (sp????)

Masadi, you have made a rather sweeping and extreme statement (nothing unusual for you) without expanding on it (which is unsual for you).

Why do you say this? and What is the final denounement according to you?

#97 Posted by majumdar,

majumdar saheb, please don't quote me incorrectly.

I don't contend anything. The evidence is right there. There are photos of the scene (want me to reproduce them on UP?) Eye witness accounts. The accounts of relatives looking for their dear ones in the G-11 graveyard where mass graves were built.

There were 2-3 composite body parts wrapped in single cellophane bags handed over to relatives, who struggled to see whether that arm or the leg belonged to their daughter?

What more proof do you want?

hamidm: the students at lal masjid were victims as much as the passengers of the airlines that were hijacked on 9/11. you can blame the hijackers (the lal masjid maulvis who lied to the parents of these children by claiming that they would help them make a life for themselves - and musharraf who allowed all this to happen under his nose as part of his "oversmart" tactics).

That's all you can muster tahmed, peon of the West? Is that all the fight that is left in you morons that are stabbing the people in the back? You are damn cowards, your immoral moth eaten souls don't allow you any "character", so you do sneak attacks like sissys....

As you all can see hamidm the enlightened "sos" wasted no time in red flagging my post so that I can be banned from Chowk but he reserves the "right" to call for killing people on here, insulting their relgion as well as using all kinds of insults that are quite distasteful. By the way, I can use the red flagging "click" as well, watch the colors of the hamid posts change as we speak...
