Don't people get the government they deserve?

It would be pertinent to recall that NAB was gifted to the nation by a dictator, to add to the bounty of the blasphemy laws, also gifted by another dictator, in the grand traditions of the institution that keeps on gifting, present all-rounder setup included.

Bhutto was on borrowed time after he got the PsOW back. Look at how his political family was killed off, in addition to him, just to make clear the true power hierarchy.

A B777 in Malaysia, the High Commission's accounts in UK .... maybe it has already begun.

All I can do is paraphrase here that the news of USA's death are greatly exaggerated. :D (BTW, the normal deployment for inauguration security is around 10,000.)

The transfer of power by specified due process will be completed on time. No worries.
