President Pervez Musharraf said on Wednesday the Pakistan Army was facing undue challenges in fighting war against terrorism and that its commitment in protecting the motherland was “unprecedented”.
| Every once in awhile Perv or some other senior Pak will turn slightly green and vomit words. They land in a disgusting puddle, often on the speaker's curly-toed slippers, and those in the immediate vicinity try to avoid listening for fear of getting sick themselves. In this case, if the military is fighting a battle for national survival, there's no such thing as "undue" challenges. Commitment to the motherland is kind of a binary -- it's there or it's not. Perhaps it's its presence or absense that's unprecedented? | “Professional requirements of the armed forces are being met to prepare them for future challenges,” Musharraf told Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee Chairman General Tariq Majeed.
| Does that means they're training for something other than the long-anticipated war with Indjah? The Pak officers corps always make me think of that Russian general, circa 1905, who used to boast that he hadn't read a manual since he was a subaltern. | Majeed briefed the president about his recent visit abroad. |
