First of all it wasn't mushy in court, it was the mujahideen. Secondly they didn't lose in court, they won but stupid politicians squandered the victory. Thirdly Mushy was running just to show solidarity with Boston and it has nothing to do with court.

From the links I posted,
. . . but a police team which had earlier reached the Chak Shahzad farmhouse apparently to arrest Musharraf, later mysteriously left.

given that assphack is gola's baccha, there wont be any kargrilling of musharaff this season, i dont think. nevertheless, the mere sight of world's favourite gola downhilling like a two-aana paakit maar must shame all those western and injun friends of his, who turned a blind eye to this war criminal and murderer and patronized him as if he was a statesman.

the best thing to come out of this would be to shame his patrons they are as dangerous as musharaff himself.

Ashphack is Gola's bacha just like Gola was Nawaz Sharifl's bacha, or better still, just like Zia was Bhutto's bacha. I know the analogy is a bit loose because both are from the army, however, in my opinion, Ashphuck is Zia personified. If one thinks about it, Gola would not have thought about coming back to Pakistan if he didn't have the blessings of the Punjabi Army and hence, he never expected to come across such opposition. Somebody wanted him to come back and baited him in. Why for, if not for retribution. The Talibunnies hate him, the Bhutto's hate him, the Shareif's hate him, and I am sure, portions of the Punjabi army hates him just because he is a bloody Mohajir who somehow jumped all over them to become the COAS. I just hope whoever pulls the proverbial trigger are creative this time. I mean, falling on a sunroof lever is so passe.

And in other news, police are in the lookout for round shaped (technical term gola) burkha shuttlecock wearers with manly features, immediate identification mark is a rounded musharraf gone fat on public money. Informants will be given a guided tour of the red mosque.

As per the book written by Saleem Shahzad, ashphack was never gola's choice at all. He was an American choice rammed through by them

gola does not like ashphack

Yes, but I also believe that Kiyani- who is possibly thinking of scenarios and options for a post retirement Kiyani- may not mind if the g@andu kammandu gets taken down a peg or five.

In the twilight world of Pakistani 'miltry' herrows, there can be only one mard-e-monin at any point in time and Kiyani is all grown up now.

If TSPA lets the judges go after Mushy sends bad message to the kabila. When Badmash dismissed Mushy in 1999, they launched a coup. But then there were jihadis like Mohd Aziz in the Corps(e) Commanders. Now midget euunuchs appointed by Msuhy are in the coterie. So its a 1992 Kremlin moment. If the launch a coup its against the judges they lose face. If they do nothing then it erodes their image. Then public opinion is turning to prefer shariah over military rule!

if Gola is to be treated as a war criminal for Kargil and specifically Capt. Kalia and his team's case, can the IA initiate the proceedings along with GoI culminating it with a interpol alert and arrest warrant?

Why ?? Why unite pukies at this juncture. Musharaff's musharaff is going to be poked by the proverbial AK barrel (or with kendostyx for that matter) - a la Gaddafi - sooner or later. Grab the masala dossa and chaya and enjoy onlee.

We cannot do anything now. ABV government recognised him as head of a state and laid red carpet for him. We will look ridiculous to request his arrest after all this and these many years. That is why fingers crossed, let destiny deliver the justice.

This is Kiyani teaching Mushy (and anyone else who may dare try what Mushy was trying to do), a lesson.
Kiyani IS the defacto ruler of Pakistan - the Caliph there.
Mushy, the braggrat thought that massa's protection would protect him on the streets and the jungle that Pakistan is, and that too from the Caliph there?
Hmm, Salman Taseer too thought he was safe and an abdul would not dare reach his 'girebaan'.

Sure, Mushy was lured in, but he was warned, politely by the ISI and other 'well wishers' not to return. But the phool that he is, he didn't heed any one. He had been given a clean break and had been allowed to get out of Pakistan by Kiyani in return for resigning as COAS, and then resigning as Sadar. So Kiyani's debt is done and over.

Now by returning, Mushy is challanging Kiyani himself ! Kiyani's extension is totally dependent on who comes to power in Pakistan (or not). Kiyani is 400% engaged in ensuring that a compliant person comes in. Mushy doesn't have a chance unless the ISI's machinery swings into action in his favour, and Caliph Kiyani ain't about to do that.

So Mushy is going to cool his heels in his farm house, only hope that the CJ doesn't attach that house as ill gotten gains / tax not paid etc etc and impounds it. Mushy made the courts impound Nawaz Sharif's palatial 7 house compound in the middle of Lahore.

Kiyani intends to keep Mushy there - very close by with the sword dangling over his head, should he make any false move. Even now Senior fauji afsars, well wishers and mediators must be meeting with mushy to 'encourage' him not to participate in the elections as a bargain for his safety. Dunno if what Mushy will construe out of these attepmts. But if he doesn't recognize quickly that Kiyani is the Caliph and fall in line, he will be toast.

Christian Science Monitor ruminates on Msuhy's fall from grace!
I woukld have sworn its written by some one from teh Forum!

Pakistan wont have Msuhy to kick around anymore
Pakistan won't have Musharraf to kick around anymore

General Musharraf was a somewhat benign autocrat who wanted to be like Ataturk; but his return from exile to get elected in the top job, smacks of miscalculation.


Pakistan's former President and military ruler Pervez Musharraf leaves the High Court in Islamabad, Pakistan, Thursday. Musharraf and his security team pushed past policemen and sped away from a court in the country’s capital on Thursday after his bail was revoked in a case in which he is accused of treason.
(B.K. Bangash/AP)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By Robert Marquand

posted April 18, 2013 at 4:19 pm EDT

Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan’s former Army chief and national ruler today escaped a set of judges and an Islamabad arrest order, climbed in a black bullet proof SUV, and sped red-faced away for the protection of home.

For General Musharraf, who once held all the reins of power in Pakistan, it seems a spectacle of humiliation and miscalculation, or as the BBC calls it “high drama and farce.”

The Islamabad judges that Musharraf sought to muzzle and dismiss in 2007 now appear to have muzzled him – ultimately thwarting his aim to run for high office May 11, in what will be the first formal civilian transfer of authority in Pakistan’s history.

Musharraf’s lawyers will likely appeal the charges of malfeasance against him for ordering 60 judges to be removed in 2007. But for Musharraf, born in New Delhi before the partition of India and Pakistan, and who of late has been living in self-imposed exile in Dubai and London, a chapter may have closed.

He long dreamed of himself as Pakistan’s Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, forging a path similar to the Turkish military ruler that secularized that Muslim country. He hoped to be a moderating force of reason, a “chief executive,” a secular reformer with clout in a land of Taliban and madrassas, the guy that could keep things together and running while the nation modernized, someone that impressed US Pentagon chief Colin Powell.

But last week Musharraf’s much-touted return to Karachi did not excite crowds; efforts to run his All-Pakistan Muslim League party failed in four districts. And he’s ended up looking more like Don Quixote than an Ataturk
.

The Guardian describes Musharraf’s bid to return home as doomed and offers today that the general is:

...politically what Imran Khan was in the mid-1990s, when the famous cricket-turned-philanthropist launched his own career in politics: a high-wattage name that grabs a disproportionate share of the media spotlight but has negligible traction with the voting public. Now that he has been barred from contesting the upcoming general election by a judiciary that has not forgotten Musharraf's attempt in 2007 to sack Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry, Musharraf still faces a sea of legal trouble, brought into sharp focus by Thursday's refusal to extend the bail granted to him last month. Musharraf may yet be able to return to life abroad …but his political obituary has long been written.

Musharraf now finds three criminal cases thrown against him: He’s charged with not providing enough security to prevent the 2007 assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, allegations that he ordered the killing of a Baloch nationalist leader in 2006, and the court case he walked out of today.

Whether Musharraf, who in court brushed past police on his way out, will finally be made an example in his own country and put behind bars is unclear. The Los Angeles Times quotes a prosecuting attorney:

“The security he has been given is only meant to safeguard his life, not to allow him to avoid the law,” said senior lawyer Chaudhry Muhammad Aslam Ghumman, the complainant in the judges' detention case against Musharraf. “They are flouting the law. The people responsible for implementing the order of the court are facilitating the culprit.”


But Musharraf’s lawyers said today that the Islamabad court ruling against him wasn’t about law and order, but was "seemingly motivated by personal vendettas." :((

Though many Pakistanis started to loath Musharraf by the time he stepped down and he may not have stood a chance at actually securing the position of prime minister, fair questions may be asked about whether Pakistan is better served by fewer candidates running for the high office.

And unlike ostensible current front-runner Nawaz Sharif, who hails from the Punjab, and who in the late 1990s as national leader was unable to reign in the growing jihadis in places like Lahore, Musharraf could crack down. :rotfl: He is one of about two current candidates for high office not part of the small coterie of regional family dynasties that rule the nation. 8)

While Musharraf gets called a former “military dictator,” anyone who has watched Pakistani politics might think the term overly harsh, considering the Muammar Qaddafi or Bashir al Assad end of the “dictator” spectrum. Unlike those dictators, after all, Musharraf stepped down.

{Did he have a choice after Lal Masjid attack? If he stayed Pakistan would have its first Arab Spring and it would have benn called Pakistan Spring instead of Arab spring!}

Future of Pakistan
Pakistan may be just about rid of Musharraf, but in a country where judicial authority has been distorted so often, it remains unclear what kind of future leadership Pakistan will see.

The nation is fractured, faces a need for more IMF bailouts, has an uncertain but powerful military influence, grudges are rife in every direction.

Though today it is a different world than when he last held power, it is worth remembering that at one point Musharraf may truly have been within striking distance of peace with India over the jewel of Kashmir. Steve Coll asked Musharraf about it in an interview he wrote up in 2009 the New Yorker:

"I've always believed in peace between India and Pakistan," [Musharraf] replied. "But it required boldness on both sides. . . . What I find lacking sometimes is this boldness – particularly on the Indian side." He then reviewed a long negotiating session he had had, many years before, with former Indian Prime Minister Vajpayee, in which the pair had tried and failed to agree on a particular joint statement. As he recounted the incident, the pitch of Musharraf's voice rose slightly; he seemed to be reliving his frustration.

He returned to the subject of the 2007 talks. "I wasn't just giving concessions – I was taking from India as well," he said, a touch defensively. Then he calmed. He fixed his gaze and added, "It would have benefitted both India and Pakistan."
Is this the end of the Sarkari Mohajirs in TSP? IOW do the Mohajirs have a place in the elites of Pakistan?

Also shows the touchy feeling that Westerners have for Mushy!!!

He is definitely unka maamu hain.

Good for TSP that it starts asserting regional identity.
