Pakistan's Sharif stirs call for Musharraf to be hanged

Yeah, he did.
Pakistan's former prime minister Nawaz Sharif stepped up his attack on President Pervez Musharraf on Saturday, suggesting he could be hanged while addressing thousands of protesters outside the presidency.....

The crowd, officially estimated at up to 20,000, chanted "hang Musharraf" as it listened to the two time former prime minister's fiery speech....

The demonstration, a few hundred meters from the presidency and parliament buildings....

  • Can we safely say at this point that everything that the Administration worked for in Pakistan has failed utterly?

    No puppet dictator, no "strong ally in the GWOT" (working against us now), aid used to increase tensions with India instead of fighting Taliban, Pakistani Constitution shredded, and the new government is taking every opportunity to distance itself from us.

    What is the "plus side" here?

  • Yeah. I think, much like they believed in Iraq, they thought they could pull off a short term strategy and get results.

    Now, that short term has blown back.
