Pakistan's President General Pervaiz Musharaff Resigns

[notoriouS-K-M]

Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, facing impeachment on charges drawn up by the governing coalition, has announced that he is resigning.

He went on national TV to say that while he was confident the charges would not stand, this was not the time for more confrontation.

He is accused of violation of the constitution and gross misconduct.

Mr Musharraf has been a key ally of the US in its "war on terror" since he took power in a bloodless coup in 1999.

Reaction in Pakistan is overwhelmingly one of relief that a bruising and lengthy impeachment battle has been avoided, the BBC's Mark Dummett reports from Islamabad.

Finally!! Thank God.

Pakistan will be fine now that the biggest parasite has been removed. There still are some leeches (Zardari, the Sharif bros, Fazl-ur-Rehman, the Chaudry bros etc) but they're still much better than Musharaff. Hey who knows, they might even form a symbiotic relationship with the general public instead of a parasitic one (One can dream....can't he?)
