Pak heading towards chaos: Sharif
Press Trust of India ^ | 11/3/07

Posted on 11/03/2007 12:40:06 PM PDT by mylife

Press Trust of India Saturday, November 3, 2007 (New Delhi) Exiled former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Saturday night condemned imposition of emergency in his country and warned that it was heading towards chaos.

Sharif, who is currently in Saudi Arabia, urged all political parties, including rival Benazir Bhutto's Peoples Democratic Party (PPP), to come together to oppose the move.

Strongly condemning President Pervez Musharraf's decision, Sharif said: ''There could be anything, I think we are heading towards chaos. I don't know what is going to happen to our country and for the first time in my political career so upsetting, disappointing and disillusioning.''

''I think this is something very unprecedented in the history of Pakistan,'' he told NDTV.

He alleged that whatever Musharraf was doing was for his own personal benefit and to perpetuate his ''personal rule'' which is using all unconstitutional methods.

Pointing out that the country was in a ''terrible crisis'', the former premier said all the political forces will have to ''put their heads together and save the country.''

When asked whether he thinks about joining Bhutto to fight emergency, he said the situation was grave. ''We have not witnessed such a grave situation in the 60 years of Pakistan's history.''

He said that the western countries, including United States, should take a ''very clear cut'' position on the situation in Pakistan.

Musharraf imposed a state of emergency in the wake of a rapid deterioration in the security situation and growing uncertainty over his position in the face of a legal challenge to his re-election in uniform.

I think I have come up with a generic name for all regions of Islamic instability....the TROPosphere!

(From meteorology, the troposphere is the layer of the atmosphere where weather occurs, which is sometimes violent and chaotic, “tropo” means “change”, and with Islamonuts running around blowing stuff up, stuff changes rapidly and gets violent and chaotic.)

Bhutto? Where did she come from in a Islam country that wants all women subjugated and uneducated. That’s true isn’t it?

LOL. I remember when Saddam got 99.7% of the vote. I’m still trying to find out who got the other.3% and what happened to those voters.

If it wasn’t Bin Laden, would Pakistan declare martial law if it was Zawahiri was the one killed in the predator strike?

Just what we need: al Qaeda with nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them.

We need not be concerned about that scenario for we already have liberal politicians destroying the fabric of our sovereignty internally with an agenda that puts nuclear destruction on a lower level.
