Perv not ruling out presidency
2009-05-16
LAHORE: Former president Pervez Musharraf is not ruling out the possibility of running for office once again.
"Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up!"
Speaking on CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS, Musharraf said he wished the current government well and that he “would be the happiest person” if the nation dealt well with threats posed by the growing strength of the Taliban. The programme is scheduled to air on Sunday.

“If Pakistan is in trouble and if any Pakistani, myself included – if you can see that we can do something for it – well ... my life is for Pakistan,” he said.

Musharraf mentioned that the law would allow him to run for office in Pakistan in six months. “We’re not running for office in six months,” he said.

Musharraf said deals with the Taliban several years ago were a mistake because “it was not from a position of strength”. But, if the military is able to take the upper hand, more deals may be needed to calm fighting by the fundamentalists.

#2  Honestly, so few men ought to be allowed near hair dye without the help of a professional. That is the queerest greying pattern I have ever seen -- two precisely square patches of white at the temples, the mustache decidedly grey, the eyebrows... I'm not sure how to describe the eyebrows, but the hair is quite another shade than the eyebrows. And those eyeglasses reduce authority rather than enhancing it.

The suit is nice, though.
