Bhutto to Musharraf: Step down

Source: cnn.com

LAHORE, Pakistan (CNN) -- Pakistan opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, in an interview with Sky News on Tuesday, called on President Pervez Musharraf to step down as president.

Although Bhutto has called on Musharraf to step down as military leader, this marked the first time she demanded he step down as president.

Bhutto, the former prime minister, was placed under house arrest Monday, a day ahead of a planned march protesting Musharraf's declared state of emergency. Riot police have also arrested her supporters.

Police have declared her house in Lahore a "subjail" and sent jail staff to monitor the situation. Several hundred police officers were surrounding the house Tuesday, allowing no one in or out of the property, according to CNN's Karl Penhaul. Bhutto is refusing to acknowledge her house arrest, however.

5. He is in Cheney's Corner too

Gangster Cheney needs hoodlums like this ass-clown to further the NeoCon wet dreams of world domination

He is cheap too---- a few billions of amerikan tax payer dollars in the Swiss Bank, will allow a compliant dog for the Dark side

4. Pelosi needs to take notes - this is how you lead an opposition!

He won't step down as long he has the guns and GW Bush on his side.
I am not Bhutto fan (not anymore), but its good to see a real opposition at work, isn't it?
