=dabong1;212316]So would agree that musharaff should not have been posted to COAS and other more senior/qualified to him should have had the post.
Musharraf was the BEST man for the post of COAS and hence he was promoted!
1- He was trained at NDC for armed forces war course (if you haven't done a war course at NDC you can't become a general. full stop)
2- He had commanded regiments. He had also been posted as DDMO (deputy director military operations) at Military Operations Directorate.
3- He has stayed as Instructor at National Defence College (highest seat of learning of armed forces - rotated ONLY on merit)
4- He has stayed commander of the armored division.
5- He has stayed as deputy military secretary at GHQ.
6- He has attended the prestigious one year course at Royal Collge of Defence Studies at London.
7- He was the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) ... I hope YOU understand the significance of this post?
8- He has stayed the Lt Gen and commanded ELITE STRIKE CORPS of Pakistan Army. Do you know what this means?
9- Additionally he was also a Commando (something which even Gen Ashfaq Kiyani sin't)
Musharraf was the BEST & most QUALIFIED man for COAS!
I cant believe your still going on about the economy........pakistan has been left on the verge of being bankrupt ,no thanks to mushy and co.
Learn simple economics and how they work before you jump to accuse Musharraf of anyone pls.
I can't believe someone can pretend to be SO IGNORANT of facts and realities that he'll try to heap the failure of PPP government on everyone but them.
Pakistan started facing bankruptcy ONLY when PPP widened the trade deficit by above 50% in each single quarter of 2008 and
trade deficit exceeded our reserves - a phenomenon achieved by PPP government!
Caretaker government + PPP
State Bank reports that in the first four months of 2008, the import bill has increased by 13.4 billion dollars, resulting in an increment of 6.5 billion dollars in trade deficit.
PPP governement till 17 July 2008
Pakistans oil import bill surged to $11.38 billion in 2007-08, up by more than 55 per cent over the $7.33 billion a year before.
Oil import bill surges by 55pc to $11.38 billion -DAWN - Top Stories; July 18, 2008

Whose government is responsible for this deficit in these quarters? Musharraf???
October 2008? Seems like PPP government?
"The Pakistani government has said that it needs $7bn to avoid bankruptcy."
Ha ha ha!!! Do you know that these bull shits PPP govt - LOST KSE market capitalization worth $29 billion in the last SIX months, due to their negligence and political disputes?
KSE market capitalization was worth $75 billion in January 2008 and now it's $46 billion.
Now that's what we call VISION !
Flush away $29 billion and beg for $7 billion !!!
And you telling me that joining the US in this WoT did not bring a massive amount of money into pakistan.
Would you clarfiy what amount has been brought into Pakistan?
At a Washington think tank, a senior expert Flynt Leverett acknowledged that statements that the United States has provided Pakistan with $ 10 billion in assistance since Sept 11, 2001 are MISLEADING!
Reality of USA Aid : Public being misled Our leader - Musharraf
Would pakistan have joined in the attack if had been promised nothing?
This is where you are wrong! Pakistan NEVER joined in the attack nor did Pakistan ever attack anyone outside their borders!
We're trying to control the situation INSIDE our borders and stop the Indian & Afghan INFILTRATION of espionage missions into Pakistan!
And, YES, we would have done this and stationed 80,000 troops on borders even if there was NO amount given to us by USA etc! We're there to protect our NATIONAL INTEREST irrespective of any money!
Because we have to PROTECT our boundaries & borders and that's NOT the job of USA!
1. We where told there where foreign terrorist in lal masjid.......no bodies of any "foreign terrorist" where shown.
Listen bro, the Maulana rasheed himself admitted on GEO & PTV that there were foreigners inside and they were asking for safe passage. Did you hear that?
Did they show you the body of Maulana Aziz's son who was also shot dead, according to his mother (the principle of jamia)?
So do you believe her when she says her son was killed? We didn't see his body!
2. Everything was going fine for the govt in the seige....one mullah came out in a burkha and it was only a matter of time before the rest of the people came out.......why the rush to attack?
The government gave them 6 months to lay down arms. If they did NOT avail those 6 months ..... would YOU have given SURETY that 'it was only a matter of time' they would have rushed out?
How do YOU know it was a matter of time? Did they give YOU the TIME-TABLE?
Info, government took out around 2000 people safely.
I cant believe your still going on about the economy........pakistan has been left on the verge of being bankrupt ,no thanks to mushy and co.
Besides, if you want to argue since when the economic meltdown occured .... I'm more than available to prove to you with facts & figures.
Shaukat Aziz left us:
1- He had started controlling the trade deficit in the last 3 months he stayed as PM and our trade deficit decreased by .... though Oil touched peak around $130 per barrel. Trade deficit DECREASED by 6.53% !
http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default...1-9-2007_pg5_1
2- Under Saukat, Trade deficit till July 2007 was manageable at $13.53 billion BECAUSE our Reserves $16.4 billion (Oct 2007), EXCEEDED our Trade deficit .... hence rupee stayed STABLE!
3- Our Reserves were at comforatable level at $14 billion in Feb 2008 and now under PPP they're $8.5 billion - WHY? LACK of TRUST of investors and public and they WITHDREW their money!
Bring back Musharraf and the money will automatically start its INFLOW !
