Musharraf tells nation of decision to stay as Army chief
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Big News Network.com Friday 31st December, 2004

Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said Thursday he will continue to rule his country both as the head of state and army chief.

Under an agreement he reached with the opposition, Musharraf had agreed to leave the army by Dec. 31 but continue as president till 2007 when he completes his current tenure.

But in a televised speech to the nation Thursday, Musharraf said since the opposition failed to keep its promise of cooperating with the government in running the country, he was not bound to keep his pledge.

2. Great; let's see if Bush invites him to the Whitehouse *again*.

Ruthless coup-installed dictator is our little buddy in the war on terror...the Bush 'doctrine' is paper-thin, and on fire.
