Statement of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton on Declaration of Emergency Rule in Pakistan

Statement of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton on Declaration of Emergency Rule in Pakistan

"I oppose General Musharraf’s declaration of emergency rule. America stands with Pakistanis in their struggle for democracy and against terrorism. But arresting opposition leaders, suspending the constitution, and suppressing human rights can only undermine the struggle against extremism. I call on General Musharraf to cancel the state of emergency, restore the Constitution, release arrested opposition leaders, and hold free and fair elections on schedule.

The failed policies of the Bush administration are part of the reason we are in this difficult and dangerous position. The policies of this administration have diverted resources and attention from the fight against terrorism on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, while inciting radical elements inside Pakistan. We now find ourselves having to cope with yet another threatening challenge made worse by the failed policies of this President."

who doesnt see it as a bad thing, so long as its not permenant.
with such unstability there and the stakes of what their military possesses its not all a bad thing in my opinion that hes taken the course of action he has taken...
just so long as they do have elections soon.

i mean , from what i can tell the guys not all THAT evil... maybe im wrong? i dunno much about the man to be honest. only whats gone on in recent years.

maybe you are wrong?

im no expert in pakistani political affairs...

perhaps you are and could enlighten me on the previous government compared to his and then explain why his want/need to stop violence on the streets to have civil order for an election is a bad thing?

Read John Dean's articles and maybe even from one of his books; he outlines how this very action by "Muffy" is what Cheney and Bush Sr. have wet dreams about!

thanks for the advice :)
like i say, im no expert on pakistans political history

articles by John Dean....

It's a start to the gruesome details.

By JOHN W. DEAN

Clear and present danger! *Bush is the oxygen.

I'm waiting for the flop.

This lady has made flip flops an exact science.

I'm a "Bluefaced Oldie"

that would be a stance worth talking about

Might be worth checking to see other senator's comments here (still looking over them myself)
