Put a Fork in Pervez Musharraf He is Done
With a 2/3 vote of Parliament necessary to impeach Musharraf, Siddique-ul-Farooq, a leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz party says the count is above 300 parliamentarians out of 440.
What's more members of the PML-Q, Musharraf's principal allies in the parliament are publicly calling for his resignation.
Given that the head of the military, has privately ruled out a coup, he's done.
He has allowed the Taliban and al Qaeda to run roughshod over the tribal areas and Afghanistan, because like many in the Pakistani military establishment, he cannot see past a war with India, so I think that his exit will be a good thing for the US too.
