#2 Perv, old boy,

Don't you understand? We don't trust you or your people to come in out of the rain, much less keep secure sensitive information. We don't like what's happening in the Tribal Areas, we're tired of the constant war in Jammu & Kashmir, we're tired of the two-faced Mad Mullah loving imams that run madrassas that are little more than jihad training grounds. We'd like to see India grind you into paste and flush you into the Indian ocean, but we're too polite to say so in public. If you want a deal, show us you can actually do what you pledge, and that you actually have control of your government, especially the ISI. Otherwise, go piss into the wind.

#4 Perv made this speech at his installation as Honorary colonel of his old regiment - "The Dashing 16"

Forty-two years after gaining a commission as a second lieutenant in a Pakistani artillery regiment, known as the Dashing 16, President Pervez Musharraf became its honorary colonel commandant, reports said on Saturday.

General Musharraf was installed as the honorary colonel of the Dashing 16 at Bahawalpur garrison in central Punjab province on Friday. Founded on May 17, 1956, the regiment is to celebrate its golden jubilee shortly.

Speaking to the serving and retired officers of the regiment, Musharraf said the armed forces of the country were well prepared to face the challenges of modern warfare.

Musharraf joined the Pakistan Military Academy in 1961 and was commissioned in the Dashing 16 in 1964. He saw action in the 1965 war with India as a young officer in Khem Karan near Lahore and Sialkot with an artillery regiment.

He also volunteered and served for seven years in the Special Service Group, known as the Commandos.

He also participated in the 1971 war - again with India - as company commander in a commando battalion and served in various command, staff and instructional positions in the army before his appointment as army chief in October 1998.
