Pakistan's Foreign said that Musharraf has 24 hours to quit on his own. However, Once again, Musharraf is making the wrong choice by not reading the writing on the wall. Daily Dawn is reporting that Musharraf has decided to ignore the advice of his friends, and his (few) supporters to leave with respect and dignity. Tragically, Musharraf has opted to fight the charges, even though it is a losing battle for him.
The political party that used to support him has seen its members jump the ship and decided to support the impeachment. All four provincial assemblies have overwhelmingly voted to impeach Musharraf. Musharaff's one time buddy, Bush has refused to step in. Pakistan Army has made it clear that they are neutral, which in other words mean want Musharraf gone, but either Musharraf is delusional, or he is convinced that he would somehow beat the charges and stay in power. Musharraf hopes of living comfortably in exile have been crashed after the United States made it clear that Washington is not considering providing asylum for him, and this leaves Musharraf very limited time and not many options.
Let's hope it all ends without further drama and without any tragedy.
