  1. Well it’s about time. His 90yt old mother is sick in dhabi and he should be allowed to visit her. Typical of Pakistani politicians. They accept the extended olive tree but rarely return the favor. Lest we forget musharraf pardoning sharif for his treachery. Let’s recognise patriotism and punish real criminals ( politicians ). Let’s praise our khakis and their generals. And criticise the true disease of Pakistan. Corrupt politicians.

    • Spot on Azher, Taliban scum were running havoc in the Capital City from their base the Lal Masjid and nobody was supposed to do anything! After Z A Bhutto Musharraf was the best thing that happened to Pakistan, but a prosperous Pakistan was not acceptable to the West during Bhutto era and was not acceptable during Musharraf era. A totally corrupt political system prevails in Pakistan funded by external powers.

      • Well said. Couldn’t agree more. These TTP scum wernt half as dangerous during musharraf era – and operations in NWFP were much more intense including drone strikes. Funny how drone strikes and military ops in FATA NWFP have decreased and TTP are now stronger than ever. Musharraf had America, Taliban, India and Pakistan Taliban all simultaneously under control. And were punishing him for this?!?!???!!! Well, as Ceaser once said ‘ the fault lies not in our stars dear Brutus – but deep within ourselves ‘. Wake up Pakistan! It’s the politicians that need to be tried for treason. Not the khakis.
