To the Army's credit, it has not taken power overtly. The soft coup engineered by the dharnas was enough for the time being. Good strategy, at least.
Conspiracy theories,,,, all i see in the last three four pages are claims based on personal assumptions, from BOTH sides.
The article you refereed to in the starting posts is not some ISPR statement, it is a news article and nothing more, you will find thousands bashing the army and thousands in support of them, not only in Pakistan!! Citing the things from that article as OFFICIAL STANCE of army was wrong in first place.
Secondly, as MANY have pointed, the army under this new leadership is performing impressively, the seemed to have learned a lot from there mistakes of past, we do not see them direct interfering wit the government and that is great. Things take time to go perfect, but one cannot deny that they are improving. As far as military involvement is concerned at least. However government taking stupid steps that seem like they are meant to be provocations are not helping to get the system (democratic system) firmly on track. Hiring a few court martial officers from air force and army at key posts, making a person with ABSOLUTELY no sense of defense and military matters the minister just because he had a strained past with the military, trying to show who is the boss. Thankfully army this time around didn't got involved is not unconstitutional actions and have kept themselves out of the 5hit!! Now even if it is ONLY for the sake of themselves (that absolutely is not the case) it is still commendable.
