Of COURSE Pervez is refusing to step down

anyone besides me that finds that in the least bit NOT surprising...?

Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf says he has no plans to resign, despite a sweeping victory by the opposition in the country's parliamentary elections.

Mr Musharraf told the Wall Street Journal there was a need to move forward to help bring about a stable democratic government in Pakistan.

US President George Bush called the vote a victory for Pakistani democracy.

btw, musharraf's current term expires in 2012...

i've got a hunch that ol' pervez is holding something over washington's head that is much deeper, darker, blacker and uglier than we could even imagine, and that it has to do with 9/11... why do i think that...? like i said, it's just a hunch...
