"Musharraf expected to quit in days; His departure may accelerate instability" by Jane Perlez, New York Times News Service | August 15, 2008
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Faced with desertions by his political supporters and the neutrality of the Pakistani military, President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan, an important ally of the United States, is expected to resign in the next few days rather than face impeachment charges, Pakistani politicians and Western diplomats said yesterday.
Now if only the US Congress would get moving! Maybe....
The neutrality of the military has tipped the scales against Musharraf, said Arif Nizami, editor of the daily newspaper The Nation.
The true power brokers in Pakistan, and the lead guy is one of ours.
One prominent supporter, Aftab Ahmed Sherpao, who served as the interior minister in Musharraf's government, said yesterday that he could no longer justify his allegiance to the president.
Sherpao represents a parliamentary constituency in the North-West Frontier Province on the edge of the tribal area, where the Taliban are winning control of village after village with little opposition from the military or government forces.
After consulting "with every friend" in his area, "not a single person was in favor of Musharraf," Sherpao said.Aww, he's got NO FRIENDS LEFT?
That's what happens to assholes!!!
