MUSHARRAF: ELECTIONS IN FEBRUARY

BBC:
Pakistan will hold elections before 15 February, state television has quoted President Pervez Musharraf as saying.

Gen Musharraf has been under pressure to honour the parliamentary poll date, originally scheduled for January, since imposing emergency rule on Saturday.

Gen Musharraf said he declared the state of emergency because of militant violence and an unruly judiciary.

On Wednesday, US President George W Bush telephoned Gen Musharraf to urge him to hold elections soon.

Mr Bush also told Gen Musharraf he could not be both army head and president.

Pakistan state TV said Gen Musharraf had also renewed a pledge to quit as head of the army before taking the oath for his new term as president.
MUSHARRAF IS A BETTER ALLY THAN ERDOGAN IS OR CHIRAC WAS.

LET'S GIVE HIM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT: LET'S GIVE HIM FOUR WEEKS TO LIFT THE STATE OF EMERGENCY AND MOUNT A MAJOR ASSAULT ON THE F.A.T.A. WITH A FINAL DEADLINE OF FEBRUARY. OR WE WITHDRAW SUPPORT.
