Perv's gonna run
2002-03-31
  • Pakistan's unelected military ruler Pervez Musharraf is to announce a referendum to ask whether he should continue as president following parliamentary elections in October."I want to know whether or not the nation requires me," the News daily quoted Musharraf as telling editors of Pakistan's national dailies late Saturday. The News reported the president said he would put a direct question to the country's people: "Do you want me to continue as president for five years or not?"

    No date was given for the referendum. Musharraf pledged complete transparency in holding the poll saying he would ensure it was fair, free and credible, the report said.
    Since Qazi hates the idea, this'll be more opportunity for rioting and random killings. I've come to the conclusion that Perv's about as useful as a bosom on a bull - what must the Pak in the Street think of him?
    I certainly hope there won't be a fair, free, or credible elections in Pakistan. The natives would most likely elect Osama bin Laden as president, with Mulla Omar as his assistant.
