Unusual Praise for Musharraf














These days it is rare to find anyone – with the exception of PTV and Ardeshir Cowasjee – praising Musharraf. However, there appears to be a new exception.

Jack Rosen, the Chairman of the American Jewish Congress-Council for World Jewry, had this to say in an Op-Ed titled In praise of Pakistani Pervez Musharraf published in yesterday's Jerusalem Post

As one who has developed a fairly close relationship with him over the past few years in my capacity as chairman of the Council for World Jewry of the American Jewish Congress, including hosting Musharraf's meeting with American Jews in New York in 2005 and visiting him in Islamabad several times, I have been dismayed by what I think is a lack of understanding of the very real dangers that would face Pakistan and the world if he were to be removed.

Intriguingly Jack Rosen not only refers to his 'fairly close relationship' with Musharraf but also mentions the fact of having visited him in Islamabad on several occasions.

Strangely these meetings were never shown to us on PTV…

Still Musharraf is Best out of the worst I guess. We had seen some good light under his leadership which is democratic to some extent. Pure democracy is difficult case in Pakistan. In future, this type of leadership will then make way for real democracy. This is my take on the whole thing.

I don't agree with Raheel at all...yes Mush made some honest attempts in the beginning but now they have fallen to the way side.

And the last thing Pakistan now needs is to be in bed with Jewish/Zionist lobby....don't we have enough problems?

I personally feel none of current politicans can make any difference.

The Jewish Forward notes that Rosen carried water on behalf of the Bush Administration to Pakistan to visit Musharraf lately. I don't think Jack went to encourage Pakistani democracy, that's for sure.

Among all the different brands, the popularity of Buy Cheap Watches Online is also on the increase. And there are quite a few reasons for this trend. First and foremost, Rolex is a well-established brand in the market for designer luxury watches, having a history and tradition of watch making that is centuries old.
