The General's Way Out....
???
Musharraf had blamed leaders of the regime he crushed as well as the Bhutto family for corruption earlier. But in his attempt to stay in power as long as he deem fit lets him sacrifice his ethos — he struck a deal with the late Benazir so that he can have the presidency.Musharraf could have taken his accusation seriously by initiating prosecution against those whom he called “Swiss Bank account holders”. But his thirst for power has not only rendered him weak but also landed him in ‘Corrupt Path’ like most politicians.
Under the present circumstances Mush's position does not look good. He has created many enemies over the time. First it was the terrorists, followed by the judiciary, then the tribals and now the people of Pakistan which is represented by the coalition government. These days Mush must be musing all day long in his chamber as to what will be the safest way to exit... opsss... to cling on to power.
??? Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf efforts to cling onto power clearly shows that he is a desperate power-hungry dictator. Since his bloodless coup by toppling the democratically elected government of Nawaz Sharif, Musharraf has made several promises to step down... But the corridors of power have so many paths and he happens to to take what most politicians have taken- The Corrupt Route.
Pakistanis have now began questioning him in public about millions of dollars which Pakistan receives in aid from the United States. He is now accused of misappropriation of $700 million by the ruling coalition.
