'Army facing undue challenges in fighting terrorism'
2008-02-07
President Pervez Musharraf said on Wednesday the Pakistan Army was facing undue challenges in fighting war against terrorism and that its commitment in protecting the motherland was “unprecedented”.
Every once in awhile Perv or some other senior Pak will turn slightly green and vomit words. They land in a disgusting puddle, often on the speaker's curly-toed slippers, and those in the immediate vicinity try to avoid listening for fear of getting sick themselves. In this case, if the military is fighting a battle for national survival, there's no such thing as "undue" challenges. Commitment to the motherland is kind of a binary -- it's there or it's not. Perhaps it's its presence or absense that's unprecedented?
“Professional requirements of the armed forces are being met to prepare them for future challenges,” Musharraf told Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee Chairman General Tariq Majeed.
Does that means they're training for something other than the long-anticipated war with Indjah? The Pak officers corps always make me think of that Russian general, circa 1905, who used to boast that he hadn't read a manual since he was a subaltern.
Majeed briefed the president about his recent visit abroad.

#2  I think Perv's speechwriter is kinda unclear on the meaning of "undue"
