excerpt from the piece:
Musharraf took power in a 1999 coup but was forced to step down in 2008. The charges have been in place since 2013 and he was allowed to leave on bail in 2016 to seek medical treatment abroad.
In an infamous purge in 2007, Musharraf imposed a state of emergency and placed several key judges under house arrest in the capital, Islamabad, and elsewhere in Pakistan.
But the move to suspend the constitution backfired and led to widespread protests by the country’s powerful legal community. Musharraf left the country soon after.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Musharraf was in power from 1999 through 2007.
So how does this time line fit with Barack Hussein bin Soetoro’s all expense paid “spring break” pilgrimage to Pakistan with shoom’s college roomie?

I used to work with a Pakistani who told me that he has absolutely no hope for that country.

Hey, Pervy:
We’ll take you in if we can deport all the scumbags here that committed treason against us to Pakistan. Deal?

Being President of Pakistan is typically not a job you retire from. Most are assasinated - Bhutto (and her father), Haq to name a couple - and now this.

"Pakistan has to be one of the biggest sh*t holes in the world." It is.
And consider this, they have nukes.

Since they are so in love with the laws of others over our own Constitution - try them in Pakistan...

Depends which perspective you look at it from.
Like either reality or fantasy?

A relativistic approach, to understanding the issue, IMO. Brings to mind a famous quote by Lincoln:
How many legs does a dog have if you call his tail a leg? Four. Saying that a tail is a leg doesn't make it a leg.

Bush should have taken this godfather of the Taliban out and put troops in Pakistan a week after 9/11, seized their nukes and waterboarded the entire Paki security services until they gave up bin Laden's location. Instead he kissed his filthy butt. Disgusting.

“ How many legs does a dog have if you call his tail a leg? Four. Saying that a tail is a leg doesn’t make it a leg. “
SO, I guess Lincoln would agree that calling yourself a woman when you’re really a man doesn’t make you a woman.

any illusion that there is less corruption in DC than in any given third-world shithole is just that, an illusion
DC has them all beat - it has it down to a science. A very efficient science.

It’s a sad day when Pakistani politicians are more accountable the rule of law than American ones.
