ja musharaf teri vi bhen noo lun hi kutti maan diya bachiya...pakistan di phen no lun too dita hai....teri beti di phuddi uk ka kalla habshi hi maray ga ga kutti ka bacha

"I am not the law of the land" and yet you dispose off the judiciary days before a decision is to take place in the high courts because apparently you feel that the country is on the verge of a political upsurge and is being "destabilized" and ordered the media to shutdown it's operations.He's a nutcase and a classic liar who was and has been hungry for power under the banner of 'Englightened Moderation" He's basically a soldier who's brains have been addled in the course of time with cockiness.

she knows nothing, this documentary giving totally the wrong picture

[umazee]

musharraf is great........

[daska66]

Musharraf did his best to destroy Pakistan during his 9 years of illegal rule. Mush brought terrorism and instability. We all learned that any politician is better than a corrupt dictator!

[islamfortomorrow]

i disagree

[Shammwow]

Go yo America and anywhere in the West to gear how Pakistan seems to have improved since Musharraf the dictator was kicked out! Who are you fooling. In under 1 year, even an idiot like Zardari has done a better job of kicking out terrorists, criminals and the Taleban! Macroeconomic stability has returned to some measure. More begged aid than Mushy ever got and even a better rating economically. Even challenges like enerhy and prices are being addressed. Imagine what a good politiican can do!

[Shammwow]

Those of us who love the Pak military are glad that the imbecile Musharraf is gone. Mush undermined all of the institutions of Pakistan including our proud military. People started to question the professionalism of the military when Nawaz put the incompetent Mush ahead of more senior and deserving Generals. Why should we be surprised that Mush was a coward and traitor. Thank God for the professionlism of Kayani who has restored the Pa military' image. Curse Musharraf and his ugly mug!

[juslkn]

If it wasnt for Musharraf there wouldnt be Pakistan today. He is the best leader you have among political liars and wretches. Without military, Pak will look like Afg and Somalia in no time.

Pak couldnt remain immune to terrorism spread from Morocco to Indonesia. Mush tried to steer away from them. They exploit Muslim frustrations, but offer no real solutions. They say they're fighting for Muslims but end up murdering, terrorizing, tyrannizing Muslims, making matters million times worse.

[juslkn]

Shammwow you are spewing nonsense. I am avid observer of news for almost three decades and very well read on matters that I speak of. Pakistan's strategic position and respect nosedived since Musharraf left. You hold Musharraf responsible for terrorist motivation ideology and agenda, that is most absurd. It shows you are extremely naive and do not know or understand what you are talking about. People like you are more dangerous than terrorists.
