Musharraf a coward, says Gen Babar
2007-09-11
President General Pervez Musharraf is a ‘coward’, who has committed a shameful act by sending PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif back into exile in defiance of the Supreme Court verdict, former interior minister and PPP leader Maj Gen (r) Naseerullah Babar, told a private TV channel on Monday.

He was commenting on the daylong developments regarding Nawaz Sharif’s return to Pakistan and his deportation. “The president cannot withstand pressure and has deported Nawaz Sharif while denying him his basic right as a citizen of Pakistan in defiance of the Supreme Court verdict,” Babar said. The PPP leader said people of Pakistan would react and protest against this shameful act of Musharraf.

#4  One of the "godfathers" anyway. The Taliban had a lot of Pakistani sperm donors.

#2  General Nasrullah Babar was Interior Minister under Prime Minister Benazir Benazir. He created the Taliban.

Babar is sometimes called the "godfather" of the Taliban, whom he used to call "my boys". The ISI actually opposed him on this. They backed Gulbuddin Hekmatyar instead.

#1  Any relation to Pakistan PeopleÂ’s Party (PPP) spokesman Farhatullah Babar, last seen "react(ing) cautiously to former premier Nawaz SharifÂ’s deportation, saying that it was a matter between Nawaz, his guarantors and the courts."?
(That's a "don't drag me into it", I think.)
