 More Trouble for MusharrafPosted on Jul 20, 2007
Pakistan’s Supreme Court delivered a ruling Friday that smacks of a smackdown between the country’s other top legal players and President Pervez Musharraf, and in this round, Musharraf didn’t win: The court flouted Musharraf’s decision, made earlier this year, to suspend Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry (pictured) and voted that he be reinstated to his post.

Isnt it nice when the hypocracies and inaccuracies of the Bush foreign policies are so blatantly exposed as about as dumb as were his appointees to so many offices and his actions during 9/11 and hurricane Katrina?
We rail against the threat of nuclear ownage by Iran while remaining mute about Pakistani ownership thereof and threat to use them against India. We called Hussein unfit yet embrace a torturer like Musharraf, among so many others we call allies, who refuses to even acknowledge that he provides a safe haven for AlQaeda and its favorite son, Osama…..

Yeah, they aint worth a damn at finding folks, but I was thinking of out sourcing the Supremes. Least the Pakistani Supreme Court can do the right thing.
OK, I got cha…we could outsource the Supremes. I don’t know who else would want them, but we could surely replace them all, with people who know the law, and are willing to work within it.
We need to do it fast though.

Wonder how the Shrub feels now after all that bribing to get Pakistan on our side? Know that the Shootist is upset…all that money and Halliburton missed out; but they will make it up somewhere.

(Unregistered commenter)
the Supreme Court of a desperately poor third-world struggling new democracy stands up to and wins against a no-so-dear leader,
while on the other side of the planet -
a 200+ year old ‘democracy’ promotes and supports its government leaning over the edge of a precipice and peering into the abyss of tyranny and economic collapse and thusly championing a new contender for the membership into the third world club…
why?

Damn shame when the Pakistani Court System out performs the American court system. Is there a way to out source to them?
We already tried this…remember? George put Musharraf in charge of finding Osama and Zawahiri for us, and he’s even given him 20.1 billion dollars since 2003, to do it.
I’m thinking we’re due a refund.

We have to send Alberto Gonzales to Pakistan in helping this new devil (Musharraf).
