Earlier this month, I ridiculed War on Terror Vaudevillian Pakistani dictator Pervez Musharraf's method of fighting extremism by arresting moderates. (Talibanis transplanted by the U.S. and Pakistan in 2001 recently routed the Pakistani army in Waziristan. For Musharraf, the solution was obvious: crack down on the secular moderates!) I ventured that Benazir Bhutto, though no perfect figure would remain on Musharraf's shitlist since she is anathema to the false-flaggers in Washington and Islamabad and she threatens to lead a return to relatively decent democratic rule in Pakistan.
But what about former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif? The exile on Saudi street returned yesterday to Pakistan to wide acclaim. And in a move that only reinforces the suspicion that he is Musharraf's poodle, Sharif claims that he cut no deal with the Emergency Ruler. Isn't that a little like Senator Larry Craig saying in his weird way, "I am not gay"?
The Los Angeles Times' Laura King wrote on November 26, 2007: "It was unclear whether Sharif might try to ally himself politically with Bhutto. Some analysts believe Musharraf relented and allowed Sharif to return to diminish Bhutto's role as the main opposition leader."
Anyone with sense would immediately dismiss the former and assume the latter.
Though he was ousted by his underling Musharraf in 1999, just in time for the theater of 9-11 and its aftermath, he is nevertheless the more obvious choice for the false-flaggers in stabilizing Pakistan: a religious conservative who will likely dampen the anger among the religious right in Pakistan, anger that is both troublesome but also crucial to the false-flaggers' agenda, while allowing much real power to remain with Musharraf, et al. At the same time he will serve to undercut Bhutto's claim to be the alternative to the unpopular Musharraf. Could the likelihood of a deal be any more glaring? If the non-deal that Sharif cut with Musharraf includes a retention of military power by Musharraf, then it is likely the occasionally awkward U.S.-Pakistani partnership of high weirdness in the name of the War on Terror will simply begin a new chapter. The only ones that will remain out in the cold in Pakistan are those who believe in a meaningful return to democratic rule.
In contrast with Bhutto's besieged return, after all, Nawaz Sharif has returned triumphantly and only a nominal number of his supporters have suffered arrest compared to those of Bhutto. And though Bhutto has been released from house arrest, it is telling that the one individual capable of meaningfully opposing Musharraf's "emergency rule" at this juncture, Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudry, remains in jail. It is telling also that while a bomb attack, killing almost 150 people, and huge numbers of arrests put a real damper on pro-Bhutto rallies and organization, no such bombings nor nowhere near the same number of arrests have hampered Sharif's political return. But he cut no deal and he has no ties to the Islamo-False-Flag regime! Uh-huh.
