``The real power is with the army and in this case with General Musharraf who is the army chief. The rest is a charade of poor players who strut and fret on the stage for a brief period and then are heard no more. ``

It`s an outlet for his impotent rage...just like jihadis like you rant and rave on chowk about how you`ll never give up kashmir...it`s all about impotent rage...

“you rant and rave on chowk about how you`ll never give up Kashmir”

Me? Kashmir? Please shove Kashmir up your mid, if that makes you happy! (Watch out! it is one big area and might hurt you immensely!)

Re: # 6,

Chuckle.I`ll send you a bucket of `Fair and lovely` cream to donate to your countrymen.Going by the photo, no wonder every pak who visits Bharat heads straight for the cosmetics counter and buys up every tube of `fair and lovely` cream.I saw a report on it on tv.Har.har.
