National Assembly session adjourned amid uproar | ||||
2003-04-17 | ||||
Protesting opposition parties on Tuesday blocked the start of the National Assembly session over the sweeping presidential powers after Prime Minister Zafarullah Khan Jamali warned the opposition of a collapse of the system. What the hell? Everything else in Pakland has collapsed, so why sweat a little thing like this? Chanting "no LFO no" and "go Musharraf go", opposition members twice besieged the rostrum before and after a break for Maghreb prayers, ignoring the speaker's call for order. While an afternoon drizzle brought back chill to the capital after some hot days, the National Assembly seemed seething with tension between the rival political camps. But the treasury benches made no attempt to counter the opposition shouting, except a brief desk-thumping to cheer the arrival of Mr Jamali, who issued his warning and urged opposition to avoid confrontation in a speech to the ruling coalition. "If the system collapses, all of us will be plunged into political wilderness," the prime minister said, echoing the warning he gave last week that opposition's insistence to clip the president of his powers could lead to the dissolution of the National Assembly.

#5 Anonon, You are so right. If there is one one country that profited from 9-11, it is Pakistan. They created the Taliban and to some extent Al-Qaeda. The financed it, controlled it, supported it at every level of government. Then when it killed over 3000 people, they got a big hefty reward for it. Hell, since 9-11 there economy has been on the way up. They're probably wishing for a another massacre so they can cash in on that Big Bonus Cheque. Its all part of the USjihAID program. |

#4 People: Pakistan is a beneficiary of an American jihad subsidy. They were facing collapse on 9-11, and now anti-American jihadis dominate the government. Unless the Bush government ceases passing money to the NWFP/Balochistan infiltrator governments, this madness will cost American lives. http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=story_17-4-2003_pg1_9 |

#3 Ghulam Ali Nizamani, collapsed at his desk because of an epileptic fit the rest downplayed it as a typical holy man's political speech - eye's rolling, tongue ululating, spittle and foam - jealous comments were heard from the back rows... |

#2 Oh, my God, I laughed out loud when I read that. What are we doing in that shit hole right now? Babysitting. Spanking the ones who really act up, but babysitting the rest. If they hadn't got it into their heads to fly air planes into buildings, we'd probably just ignore the Great Monkey Cage over there and only give it a curious glance from time to time while they mauled each other and banged their toys against the bars. |

#1 Amid renewed shouting after the prayer break Pray. Riot. Pray. Riot. Pray. Smack around disobedient wife. Pray. Send money to suicide bomber. Pray. Attempt to overthrow government who is not forcing everyone to pray as much as me, attempt to assassinate President who maybe/kinda/sorta might be helping catch terrorists, er, freedom fighters, and threaten woman who dared to walk outside without a male escort. Pray. |
