Perv makes a move in Pakistan

Pakistani media is reporting that Pervez Musharraf is likely to declare a monthlong to three-month state of emergency to crack down on all the miscreants and scofflaws running around and raising hell there. Dictatorships bite and civil liberties are important, but I gotta grit my teeth and go with Perv on this one -- Pakistan needs to take tough action and now to rein in al-Qaida, the Taliban, radical clerics, the lawless terror haven of Waziristan, and on and on. Granted, this move will likely be more about Musharraf's interests in self-preservation, having survived at least four assassination attempts by this point. But they're at ground zero, and need to wipe out their terrorists now.

Of course, expect Barack Obama to take credit for any action taken by Pakistan: "If I hadn't threatened to attack, shown my novice understanding of foreign policy, and pissed off the entire country of Pakistan..."

This is a gimmick that president Musharaff will announce 3 months curfew
instead i like obama's idea of usa-coalition attacking pakistan and wiping out 'tHE dirt"

i do not believe Musharaff is sincere to u.s.a and is "double crossing" us
