Deal done, sealed: Musharaff to retire as Army Chief, stay as President, Bhutto to be PM
2007-07-29
ISLAMABAD: After months of a bumpy ride due to the judicial and Lal Masjid crises, when Musharraf's plane lands back at Chaklala he will heave a sigh of relief.

Returning from a two-day dash to UAE and Saudi Arabia, he will arrive holding a 'done deal' with Benazir Bhutto who, finally, has agreed to play ball with him.

The News has learnt through reliable sources that the deal has been sealed between the two and the meeting in Abu Dhabi was actually a 'kind of signing ceremony' which is conducted at the end of a long, tedious talks process.

#5  If it means polarization against the clerics - as exists in Sindh - then it could be a good thing. Of course, the deal doesn't make Benazir's husband less than the swindler he is.

#4  Suddenly this guy, Nawaz Sharif appears down in the article. Who is he? They all seem to think he is the second coming, or they seem totally intimidated by him..

#2  I got lost in the readin --- who is who? Suddenly this guy, Nawaz Sharif appears down in the article. Who is he? They all seem to think he is the second coming, or they seem totally intimidated by him... he just kinda wanders around in this article.... I missed something. And my reading comprehension scores are pretty high.
