Going through my Biden Google Alert:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/musharraf-resigned-to-ceremonial-role-as-opposition-parties-prepare-for-power-784419.htmlSenator Joe Biden, chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee and part of an American delegation that met with Mr Musharraf yesterday morning, said the president appeared to have accepted the reality of the election result, which saw his parliamentary allies soundly defeated.
"I don't think he is going to resign... my impression is that he was prepared to retire to being president, which he pointed out to us is ceremonial," said Mr Biden. "To me it appears more about respect than power. Much will depend on how he is treated by the opposition parties and whether they opt for a transition rather than... revolution."
