u must be out of your mind..he is the person who reformed pakistan, tried to kill teh extremist taliban terrorist, he brought education, he brought ecnomic strenght, he freed the media, wake up and smell the homus. 11 bn $ is nothing, he needed more, it was their rightfully earned money, not something given by US to pakistan here, fight the terrorist.

@MrHussain1234 . But black assed Musharraf is the idiot dictator who brought in the idiot Zardari. Mush brought terrorism and instability during his 9 years of illegal rule. His last kcik to Pak was to bring Zardari to protect Mush from charges of treason!

[MrHussain1234]

zadari should leave office and even leave Pakistan

bring back mushrraf!

[baekas]

i think what he has done was the real democracy..long live Musharraf..

[ohwahwah]

musharaf right.

Long live Musharraf in jail. In 9 years Musharraf brought the worst terrorism and instability before he was kciked out crying. Musharraf proved once and for all that a bad dictator is worse than any politician. Musharraf undermined the nation so much and deserves to be charged with treason for disrespecting his military oath to uphold the constitution. How can anyone believe any of the thickly accented illiteate words coming from Mush's ugly mouth?

Shame on him.

[ahmedshah1990]

yes indeed, he is a very awesome leader

nawaz sharif left the pakistan national reserve at 80 bn $, equal to 2 months of exports. it use to be 360 bn $. since musharraf left, it is now at 800 bn $. karachi stock exchange has shoot up, foreign companies now invest in pakistan.

[kumail72]

he is the one who gav rights to women, he is the one to sign of the first pakistan space program, he is the one who invested in infrastructure in pakistan. Pakistan was at its heights when he was in power. I would love to hav this dictator again.
