    It is right to say
    there is agreement
    in between,
    agreement between two persons,
    on their role,played in the past not at present,
    can be said with full criminalty.

    As a minister,
    in the cabnit of his own wife,
    and broke all the records,
    by committing corruptions and called Mr.10 pc,
    illegal gratification was received by him,
    from the small factory owners.

    there were some items like gold etc,
    on which commission was imposed as ten percent,
    it was special tex had no concern with any covernment institution,
    as a minister under the cover of prime minister,
    and prime minister was his wife.

    You can say agreement,
    you cansay,
    it is no agreement,
    i describe it a conspiracy,
    against the whole nation,
    all the crime including heroin casehas been deleted,
    and aquitted him all the charges,
    he did nothing for the nation,
    but going to become head of the islamic state,
    there is no concept of such a man like him,
    really a conspiracy has been hatched aginst the nation,
    looking what is going on happened never think so.

    It has been done for safe exit,
    there was no way out for Musharraf,
    every corner was occupied by the unconstitutional action,
    as he did by declaring emergency on 3th November 2008.
    Iftekhar choudhery had become a nightmare for him,
    he came in the dreams and a brave general began crying for safe exit,
    In the meanwile ,
    ppp appeared as majority party,
    so two criminal met eachother,
    and succeed to save eachothers.

    Making Zardari the President will subject him to more scrutiny than otherwise. In any event, he was manipulating matters from behind the scene. Setting a thief to catch other thieves is not a bad idea. Not that the people of Pakistan have many choices. www.winnowed.blogspot.com

    Zardari is a true joker, and with the power of a newly invigorated presidential office, "the joker is wild".
    Pakistan's best hope is now Kiyani and the Army once again

    I have doubts in the intregity of Asif Zardari, but he said the right words, may be give him a chance to prove the skeptics wrong but still a big gamble for the Pakistanis. He has to be his own man and move out of the US influence, unfortunately this is quite impossible because Pakistan is too dependent on the US financial support. Ultimately the whole thing will come back to zero; political turmoil, financial problems, poverty, scandals, fightings, killings, bombings, instability and yes, the general has to come in!

    ONe of the richest feudal lords iin Pak, Sardari had it all planned. If she had some brains, Benazir would have stayed away from the danger. Who knows if Sardari had something to do with her death?

    Why atiqrahman says Musharraf crriminal and symbol of terror. Perhaps he never lived in Pakistan and fell victim to his opponents vicious propaganda. Musharraf an honest person has been benign to Pakistan who faught terrorism with full force as he could. History will tell that during his period Pakistan progressed despite all regressive forces and opposition to him. Democracy is not for Pakistan at least in the foreseeable future.

    Pity Pakistan, Person who have no mendate but only charge sheets of his crimes and corruption is about to holding the President's office. One criminal and symbol of Terror (Musharraf) step down and the other Mafia chief is taking the seat.

    Time is very short, Mr. Ten percent, encash your wife's assasination as early as you can

    This a fact that after 9/11, if Pervez Musharraf was not in power, then Pakistan would have been shown differently on the world map or it would have been like Iraq or Afganistan. Nawaz Sharif and Zardari both have charged each other corrupt, and in fact they are. They both have taken millions of dollars of Pakistan and people money. But public memory is very short, and here they are again to rob Pakistan again.

    For anyone in doubt about Zardari's integrity as a leader here is the Swiss judgment, which states that Zardari, Benazir and her relatives receiving over $11 million dollars in kickbacks! http://www.nab.gov.pk/Downloads/Doc/SentencingOrderSCHLEGELMILCH-30%5B1%5D.07.pdf

    If Zardari becomes the President, it will be the most unfortunate occurrence in Pakistan's history. This guy is corrupt to the core and at least as diabolical as Saddam Hussain. He was involved in Benazir's brothers murder and was the main beneficiary of Benazir's death. To paint him in any other light would be most unfair to the Pakistani people.

    It is a sad for democracy in Pakistan that instead of a non-controversial person , Mr Zardari has got himself nominated for President's post. Benazir was a leader with vision and political acumen, she would never have made this error in judgement. Under 1973 Constitution, not the abridged and doctored version made by Musharraf, the President is supposed to be a symbol of federation and hence after assumption of office, must not even be seen to be a member of any political party. The PPP stands to lose from this controversy. It is the biggest political party of Pakistan and must try to avoid such controversies. America's war on terror will suffer, if Pakistan's political crisis does not resolve. The manner in which America is using its influence to once again put up a controversial person as President, will rebound back. there are many within PPP who enjoy respect. Men Like senator Raza Rabbani, or some other person from Balochistan would have been a better candidate. American interests have suffered by their blind support for Musharraf, who is the most hated man in Pakistan. He did not deserve a safe passage , nor the farewell guard of honour that was given to him. He was neither a man of substance, nor a man of honour, just a plain rascal, who plunged this country into a crisis , just to hold on to power. He should have been tried and America needs to be seen as supportive of democratic process and restoration of judiciary to its pre 3rd Nov status.

    Who chose this title? Couldn't leave her in peace?

    Hello:
    The important thing must not be neglected in this election. That is: Taking care of the Pakistani population and attending to the daily needs thereof is to trump American demands. That is what Pakistani candidates must mind.
