The Mangling of Logic pt. 11

"Well, as I say, he has done more for Democracy in Pakistan than, than any modern leader has, and one of the reasons you’re seeing the blowback that you’re getting in Pakistan is because of the reforms that, that President Musharraf has put in place."

Jeebus. Musharraf is a dictator. D i c t a t o r.

His reforms are oppressive. O p p r e s s i v e.

Here's the first paragraph in his Wikipedia entry:

General Pervez Musharraf (Urdu: پرويز مشرف) (born 11 August 1943, Delhi) is the current Chief of Army Staff of the Pakistan Army, military ruler and President of Pakistan. He came to power in 1999 by effecting a military coup d'état and has suspended the constitution of Pakistan twice; since then, he has been actively supported (through military and monetary aid) by western countries including the United States. He took power on October 12, 1999, ousting Nawaz Sharif, the elected Prime Minister, dismissed the national and provincial legislative assemblies, declared martial law, assumed the title of Chief Executive and became Pakistan's de facto head of government, thereby becoming the fourth Army chief of Pakistan to have assumed executive control. Later in 2001, Musharraf appointed himself to the office of President of Pakistan.
