Musharaff suspends constitution in order to fight terrorism more effectively.

[The Backlash Cometh]

On CNN. From where did he pick up that idea?

[conspirator]

1. how convenient nt

[cali]

2. And of course that means that bushco will do exactly the

same thing, right?

[The Backlash Cometh]

7. Isn't that what he's been doing?

Does it look like he's been operating like he gives a crap about the Constitutinality of the decidering he's doing?

[cali]

8. yes, he's degraded the constitution. No, he's not going

to declare martial law, arrest Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Lawrence Tribe, and stay on in the White House.

[The Backlash Cometh]

16. Only because he hasn't figured how to do that, without getting away with it.

[cali]

18. whatever his motivation. it won't happen. n/t

[Solly Mack]

3. I'm sure America, with its high moral ground, will speak out

snort-giggle - wait - wait...I can't say this and keep a straight face


Never mind

Sorry...

4. rice suggested it to him.

[annabanana]

5. Wow Georgie! ...and when everyone who disagrees with you is a

"terrorist enabler", the road ahead is CLEAR!

6. Dress rehearsal for the junta

Already, the language on the MSM is favoring this "crackdown".
How long before it happens here?

It's very easy. All the admin. has to do is to stage an attack, then stage a rally around the administration. ANyone who objects will get their head busted.
Want to bet it can't happen here?

9. CNN is using Mushy's frame.

He declared Martial Law, suspended a free press, dismissed Supreme Court Judges, and suspended the Constitution. But, it had nothing to do with terrorism.

It is all to hold power. It is ALL to silence the Judicial System that was about to rule against his long reigning coup.

CNN is worthless.

10. stupid fools

that's typical of the MSM, but no less disgusting just because it's predictable.

13. Musharaf Is A CNN Tool Or The Other Way Around

You nailed it...this is all about Musharaf hanging onto his power while his "popularity" (which is worse than boooshies) sinks. He's lost the clergy and the courts and now is just trying to hang on with his original power source...the military (and we're not sure how well he's hanging on there).

I'm all but sure CNN has been getting spoonfed what to say by the White House and Musharaf's people...trying to make this despot some "cuddly" leader. It all means little as the Pakistani military gets the final say and if they think Musharaf's a liability, he's gone.

11. Um, mr. lunatic musharaff, noone believes this. Just to inject some sanity for second.

[jimshoes]

12. Our own wannabe dictators,

dick n' bush have been telling us for years that the only way to make us safe from terra is to take away all our freedoms. It all makes sense now.:crazy:

[Marrah_G]

14. The sad part about all this is ....

That the ones who over-throw him are going to be Talibanesque types who will put down hard-line Islamic law and the losers AS ALWAYS will be the women. Add in a government that wills support and defend terrorists with control of nuclear weapons and it is a recipe for disaster.

Once again, everything Bush touches turns to shit.

[Renew Deal]

15. Musharaff should have done what Hugo Chavez did and amend the constitution.

Instead of suspending it. Then many DUers would support it.

[The Backlash Cometh]

17. Well spotted.

And red. He should have picked the color red for his new party. That seems to be the right color for those who enjoy power grabs.
