Uncle Ron’s Ramblings
“Ol’ Perv’” Headed For Retirement?: It’s ironic that while helping to install democratic governments in Iraq and Afghanistan that one of our chief allies is a man who instigated the overthrow of his country’s government.
Pervez Musharraf was Pakistan’s top general when he ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and took over the position.
Sharif had been under investigation for corruption but that is a matter for the Pakistani legal system and president to deal with. (The role of Pakistan’s president is largely ceremonial but he—or she--can fire the prime minister).
I should say the role of Pakistan’s president was largely ceremonial. Two years after taking over the prime minister’s job, Ol’ Perv’ respectfully suggested to the president that the honorable gentleman might want to consider early retirement. After giving it some thought, the president agreed that might be a good idea.
Ol’ Perv’ did not give up his jobs as general-in-chief or prime minister upon assuming the presidency. He held on to them, in the same way Adolf Hitler combined the jobs of chancellor and president upon the death of German President Hindenburg. One difference between the Fuehrer and Ol’ Perv’ is that Hindenburg had appointed Hitler chancellor when the Nazi Party won the most seats in the Reichstag.
When the Pakistani Supreme Court finally stood up to Ol’ Perv’ he fired the justices. Now a democratically-elected prime minister and Parliament are trying to impeach him.
To add insult to injury, Ol’ Perv’s former interior minister has joined those calling for his ouster.
