| President Pervez Musharraf has vowed to defend himself before parliament, Geo News quoted him as saying on Thursday. According to the channel, Musharraf told Muhammad Ali Durrani, Sharifuddin Peerzada and Malik Qayyum during a meeting that he had not violated the constitution for personal gains and that every action on his part was in the best interest of Pakistan. The president said he would justify all his acts and respond to allegations that the ruling coalition had levelled against him. The channel quoted him as saying that he would not surrender without contesting charges against him. |

| #3 The Pakistani Army has a habit of over-riding the civilian political establishment. Perv still has many friends in the Army. I don't think Perv's going to go quietly into the sunset. If the Army DOES decide to step in, there will be fewer politicians afterwards, regardless of their political party. |

| #1 As I read the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the presidency is more powerful than the Parliament. And Mushy has friends (PML-Q) in the assembly. |
