President Pervez Musharraf May Stepdown
2008-02-24 07:46:00 The Hindu News Having apparently run out of options, Pakistan's beleaguered President Pervez Musharraf "is considering stepping down in days" to avoid a showdown with the newly elected Parliament in that country. "He (Musharraf) has already started discussing the exit strategy for himself. I think it is now just a matter of days and not months because he would like to make a graceful exit on a high," 'The Sunday Telegraph' quoted one of the President's close confidantes as saying. According to senior aides, Musharraf would prefer to resign rather than waiting to be impeached and forced out of office by the victorious opposition parties who triumphed in last week's general election in that country and announced they would form a coalition government. "He may have made many mistakes, but he genuinely tried to build the country and he doesn't want to destroy it just for the sake of his personal office," an unnamed official close to the President told the British newspaper.

Bolton Faults U.S. in Bhutto Assassination
2008-01-07 02:08:00 Following Benazir Bhutto?s 27 December 2007 assassination in Pakistan, much ink was devoted to the blame game. But this little gem from the always-blunt and sometimes controversial John R. Bolton, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, didn’t receive much press coverage. Bolton believes that the U.S. helped set in motion a chain of events leading to former prime minister Bhutto’s murder.

Benazir Bhutto Biography
2007-12-27 22:04:00 Benazir Bhutto (IPA: [be?n?zi?r b????o?]; 21 June 1953 - 27 December 2007) was a Pakistan politician. Bhutto was the first woman elected to lead a Muslim state, having been twice elected Prime Minister of Pakistan. She was sworn in for the first time in 1988 but removed from office 20 months later under orders of then-president Ghulam Ishaq Khan on grounds of alleged corruption. In 1993 Bhutto was re-elected but was again removed in 1996 on similar charges, this time by President Farooq Leghari.Bhutto went into self-imposed exile in Dubai in 1998, where she remained until she returned to Pakistan on October 18, 2007, after reaching an understanding with General Musharraf by which she was granted amnesty and all corruption charges were withdrawn.[1]She was the eldest child of former premier Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, a Pakistani of Sindhi descent, and Begum Nusrat Bhutto, a Pakistani of Iranian-Kurdish descent. Her paternal grandfather was Sir Shah Nawaz Bhutto who came to Larkana Sindh be...
Vultures (presidential and otherwise) descend on Pakistan?s chaos
2007-12-27 21:07:00 By now you know that Benazir Bhutto is dead and Pakistan is in turmoil. I can’t say anything that Euphrosyne didn’t already say beautifully, so I won’t belabor what is already known. I also recommend Stirling Newberry’s comments on what this means for America and our declining empire. Never one to pass up an opportunity to make himself look good using others’ deaths as the backdrop, Rudy Giuliani was quick to post a statement that the Terrorists ™ must be stopped from continuing their War On Us (caps are his, not mine). And he wasn’t the last. CNN has a complete list of Presidential candidates’ reactions to Bhutto’s assassination, and I’m given to understand that the chattering class is already whipping itself into orgasmic fervor speculating on which of them this will benefit the most. I agree with A.J. Rossmiller that claiming this will somehow benefit Hillary and Giuliani because they’re the most hawkish is ludi...
