Who are obstructionist forces of a small minority?

Looks like General Musharraf has finally seen the writing on the wall. But he has taken the wrong message from it.

In the face of growing storm of judicial crisis, instaed of calling for a retreat by taking the reference back, he has drawn his last weapon, the army, and has pushed it into the last fight of his life - that could turn out to be his Waterloo in the best of scenarios. But it could also plunge Pakistan into the hell pit of a civil war.

On Friday, he called the meeting of the corps commanders and principal staff officers ahead of schedule. And in a highly unusual fasion asked the Inter Services Public Relations office to release a press statement after the meeting. The statement says that the participants "reviewed internal situation in the country" and "the Commanders noted the positive developments in the field of socio-economic progress, and the efforts being made to promote tolerance and moderation in the society" and "strongly reaffirmed Pakistan Army’s support for continuity of Government’s policies, both internal and external. The participants reiterated support for the pivotal role of the President and the COAS in the ongoing reform process". They "took serious note of the malicious campaign against Institutions of State, launched by vested interests and opportunists who were acting as obstructionist forces to serve their personal interests and agenda even at the cost of flouting the rule of law".

They also "affirmed to stand committed for the security of their country under the leadership and guidance of the President and the COAS". They warned that they "any attempt by a small minority to obstruct the aspirations of vast majority would only derail the nation from its path of progress and prosperity. The Pakistan Army is committed to lend full support towards realization of the vision set by the President for a dynamic, progressive and moderate Islamic State".

At the end the statement says that "the President appreciated unstinted support of the participants and assured them that nobody will be allowed to bring instability in the country".

The question is who are these "obstructionist forces", "a small minority" of "vested interests" and of "opportunists" who have waged a "malicious campaign against Institutions of State" ... "to serve their personal interests and agenda even at the cost of flouting the rule of law"?

Army itself is that small minority which has, for the last 60 years, proven to be an obstructionist force that has been hell bent to serve its personal interests and agenda while flouting the rule of law by committing the high treason of abrogating the Constitution of Pakistan over and over again and forgetting its assigned duties. It is the army and its top commanders who always waged a milicious campaign against all other institutions of state.

Since when number 9 (# of corps commanders) has grown bigger than 100's (number of members of the parliament)? What system of counting the cammoanders have used to show 500,000 (# of military personnel) is greater than 169,500,000 (# of Pakistanis)?

General Musharraf has thrown his last weapon into the fray. It is a dangerous and reckless move. It won't be long before this policy of involving the army as a party into Pakistani people's struggle for rule of law, and respect for human rights will fling Pakistan into a civil war.

But I don't believe there is any other recourse for the people to get their fundamental and natural rights back from the clutches of the military rule but through a civil war in which they are being pushed by the greed and lust of Generals.
