No, but they are definently Anti-American. Musharraf is at least aiding the United States in searching the mountain region in Northwestern Pakistan for the Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters.

No I'm not crazy. I'm realistic. The greatest opposition to the prez. is fundamentalist muslim nut jobs who support the Taliban and Bin Laden. You know the people who keep trying to assassinate him. Educate your self.
And where is that quote that says US intel says 50% of the arms in Iraq came from Saudi Arabia.

Correction: This is not the final result.
The high court forbids a final result to be published since there are still court-cases going on over the legitimacy of the elections.

Correct. The issue mainly being that Musharraf is still head of the army, IIRC.
What happens if the results are rejected?

Frankly, I think not much will change if it is approved or rejected. American backed military dictatorships tend to be fairly stable.
Musharaff is on the same league as Chávez, that is, dictators in evertyhing but name.
The difference is that in Venezuela the opposition is better than Chávez, in Pakistan they are for the most part worse (though I'm sure there is also a democratic opposition that gets repressed. The ones who are worse are the radical muslims who hate democracy more than Musharraff).

Probably so...but I do wonder if there is some kind of legal recourse for resolving that situation. Of course, Musharraf just just do a re-coup or something and that's the end of it.

No i said since people think the president of Valenzuela is a dictator i said that from 2000 to 2006 bush was a dictator!
Sure and they don't kill their people either too right?
Term limit is 2 and he can not be president and in the military or been in the military for 2 years. Thats like a current general running for president and winning. DO you think the supreme court would allow it? (I think not!)
Sorry - I don't understand what you are saying. Can you be more clear ?? For instance - who did you mean by "they", "their people" and what other event is the "too" referencing to ?
