Unbelievable. President Bush tells ABC’s Charles Gibson that Gen. Pervez Musharraf “hasn’t crossed the line,” that he is “truly is somebody who believes in democracy” and has “advanced democracy in Pakistan.” Moreover, Bush noted that Musharraf has said there will be elections and today he released prisoners, and “so far I’ve found him to be a man of his word.”
I am not surpirse and expected this kind of statment from Mr. Bush as he might living in the deepen state of denial
What exactly would it take for the president to conclude Musharraf has crossed the line? let see
1) Suspend the constitution? (is that what bush consider not crossing the lines)
2) Impose emergency law? Beat and jail his political opponents and human rights activists?” . “He’s already done all that. If the Bush sees Musharraf as a democrat, he must be wearing the same glasses he had on when he looked in Vladimir Putin’s soul.”
3) Almost everyone in Pakistan who believes in George Bush’s vision of democracy is in prison today. Calling the man who put them in prison a great democrat will only discredit America among moderate Pakistanis and give Musharraf confidence that he can continue to defy the United States because Bush will forgive anything he does.”
Bush has no qualms at all about Musharraf’s jailing of the independent judiciary and replacing them with sock puppets, or clamping down on the independent media and political rallies. Sure Musharaff has released prisoners, including Imran Khan, but his police are continuing to arrest protestors every day, and other important opposition figures (including Aitzaz Ahsan and deposed Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry) remain in detention. The reconstituted Supreme Court, packed with loyalists, is a travesty.
No wounder Pakistani Dictator has successfully fooled American leadership in the name of War on terror. They even can’t see what is crossing the line, and they want to fight against terrorism ……. huh.
Bush adminstration has failed in war against terrorism, he dont know what he is doing. and anyway US always backed up dictators, they have double standards of democracy. even in their own country bush administration has issued many stupid laws which affected the people freedom. when he dont bother about his people freedom, you think he bother pakistan people freedom
