US throws its weight behind PM
[DAWN] The United States has firmly put its weight behind the "elected government", declaring that it did not support any "extra-constitutional changes" in Pakistain or those "attempting to impose" such changes.So Uncle Fester is toast. At a news briefing in Washington, State Department spokesperson Marie Harf made it clear that the US believed "Nawaz Sharif ... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... was elected and is prime minister" and that "there's a government in place that was elected".
