The proposed impeachment of Musharraf on 11 Aug is a sham that is bound to fail. With three parallel power centres in Pakistan, The Army, the Parliament and the ISI exerting counter pulls, the outcome of such an exercise is not too difficult to predict. Particularly in view of the Army and the ISI being pro-Musharaff. Musharaff's recent statement declaring the ISI as Pakistan's second line of defence is a strong indicator. Both, the Army Chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani and the ISI Chief Lt General Lieutenant Ehsanul Haq are handpicked, pro-Musharaff men who are likely play the 'impeachment game' according to rules setforth by Musharaff. The PPP of Asif Zardari and PML(N) of Nawaz Sharrief are building castles in the air by planning to impeach an Army man in Pakistan.
