musharraf on the ropes: pakistan preps for impeachment

musharraf on the ropes: pakistan preps for impeachmentfrom winter patriot: President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan - the former Army Chief of Staff who took power in a coup in 1999 - is suddenly facing impeachment! ... The Daily Times lists the charges against Musharraf... So I'll cut to the chase:

Musharraf's next logical moves would be declaration of martial law, dissolution of the national parliament and the provincial assemblies, and incarceration of all opposition political leaders. I would not be surprised if he did all these things -- or at least tried to... and I would also not be surprised to see Bush do any or all of these things -- or at least try to -- even absent the threat of impeachment. Desperate despicable people tend to do desperate despicable things, especially when their illegitimate hold on power is threatened.
