Musharraf trial essentially over. Military putting out fires on multiple fronts, only not where they should be (borders). Dark day in this country's history. Another military dictator gets away with murder (s). The army preserves its eminence front among the populace. (for now)

Bajwa getting an extension or not is just mindless palace intrigues. This govt bending over backwards to make it happen is only because their own fate is beholden to the man in charge. Nothing else. There is no 'security situation', no 'war', nor has there been one these

buffoons could ever actually win. None of what transpires now will have a bearing on the destiny of the poor people who call this country home. But this is what it has come to.

But hey, Ehd-e-wafa is on TV this weekend which will 'gel the nation' again (Ghafoora's words) and serve as the ultimate form of escapism so not everything is bad, eh?
