#1 he has been forced to carry out a coup against his own regime

Hee, hee, I like this one. Pretty descriptive.

judicial activism was responsible for the rise of jihadis in Pakistan

I'm pretty fuzzy on this whole issue, but obviously it's important because this is the source of the conflict. In all I've read about Pakistan, I haven't heard of this - someone want to link to an explanation of the situation?

#4 the kind of stuff that only journalists and think-tank-wallahs would take seriously

Think-tank-wallahs goes into the dictionary. Heh.

#5 He was like that uncle that I mentioned earlier, who after a couple of drinks not only wants to explain the meaning of life, but also why he is the most misunderstood man in the world, how your aunt never valued him, why the world is run by a cabal of Jewish gays and why Japanese technology is a disgrace.

Guys like Hanif offer a glimmer of hope for the Islamic world.

#6 Quite a number of people who watched the Urdu part of the speech thought that Musharraf was actually drunk.
