Former Pakistan President and military ruler Pervez Musharraf has been sentenced to death in absentia for high treason following a six-year legal case.

The 76-year-old former leader, who has lived in self-imposed exile in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates for more than three years, has the option to appeal the verdict.

I don’t think that was the prevailing thought on FR during his tenure.
No. Not from me either. I bought his BS too. He fought and finished his daddy’s battle in Iraq. But forgot where Osama came from(free ride for the Saudis. Another of poppa’s friends). and forgot to continue that fight altogether. He let Obama one-up him in Pakistan. By getting Hussein he destabilized the ME as much as Obama did by killing Khadafi.
Second such event that I know of the first being Bhutto (not Benazir, but her father).
Which gives me pause to think:
Once is an incident,
Twice is a habit;
If there’s a third, it’s Policy.
