I think that his days are numbered. Even the COAS has now distanced himself. He has replaced Musharraf's relative(Sehba's) Lt gen Mian nadeem Ejaz as the DG MI. He also replaced two pro Musharraf core Commanders on 24 March. Today he gave a briefing to the politicians and mush was nowhere
This is false perception being created by media that COAS distanced himself from the President.
Kiyani twice went to meet Musharraf, when he had to give briefing to PM Gillani.... once before going to brief the PM and once after coming back from that briefing. I know the spokesman has said that he didn't go.... but he did go atleast once (confirmed source)
This posture that COAS kiyani has taken, is Musharraf's personal guidance and both kiyani and Musharraf are one and same. They army will re-act when there is any danger to Musharraf, and not before. These new tactics were designed by Musharraf and kiyani is implementing them intelligently. Both are intelligent and know what to do and when to do, for betterment of country.
Musharraf kept his uniform till Nov 2007, just to make General Kiyani the COAS. Otherwise, ex-VCOAS General Ahsan Saleem Hyatt would have been promoted to the post of Army General, and never kiyani.
Why hasn't PPP tried re-storing the judges? Why are they now saying that "giving the Parliament 30 days, is like threatening the parliament"
Ever wonder? Why was zardari let off free some 1.5 years back.... though his cases were not disposed off, without ZAMANAT? Those cases are being disposed off now, every day. Why was there a need for zardari to adopt a make-over and take classes in USA for persoanality grooming & eloquent communication? Why was Zardari not thrown in jail when he came back? Who is guiding Zardari to forcefully persuade Nawaz to join coalition govt? Who told Zardari to reconcile with MQM? On whose directives are cases of Zardari being struck-off???? Keep wondering.....
Musharraf does not want anyone to accuse him for not alllowing the PPP govt to run, therefore on surface he does not want to give impression of meddling.
But, make no mistake! The army is totally behind Musharraf! Changing the core commanders does not matter. This is better tactic that they keep changing... or the media will keep tagging them with accusations and labelling them as pro-musharraf.
The army knows what it is doing! The media can only speculate falsely! Pakistan Army Zindabad!
