The well played dirty game

Before starting off,i'd like to pray for the country which is going to go under a man such as Mr. Ten percent!! Please God! Save us, there's still time.





There's so much speculation in the air surrounding the matter of who's gonna take the president's office. Well, i dont really have any names to suggest because the people who might be in contention for the office are according to me highly dishonest about everything they do, and highly apathetic to the people. But one name i'd like to mention and i'd just want to write a bit about is Mr. Asif Ali Zardari.
Mr Zardari is a well known figure in Pakistan, for many reasons. He was called Mr. Ten Percent a little while ago for obvious reasons and was considered one of the veterans in the game of corruption. Well obviously, Mr Mush thought theft of national wealth could be forgiven and hence the NRO, which obviously came to haunt Mush later on. Anyways, my uncle who's an ex army officer and i think watches the politics very closely tells me that before stepping into politics, Mr. Zardari had a cinema in karachi called Babitto or something which used to be the centre of drugs and alcohol and accompanying stuff. So this man really has a nice background i thought.
Anyways, people might say its a thing of the past, but then, he didn't leave the stuff entirely. We all know what havoc (read pranks) he played with the country and the people in BB's regime. We're still suffering. I'm not a big fan of BB but i know she was wise enough to keep him away from politics as much as possible. Atleast she wanted to keep him away. And Zardari wasn't even in the new political picture that BB had painted in her mind this time around.
Things changed after the assassination of BB. I'll come to that in the end, but what made me write this post was the facebook status of a friend,
"Well played Mr. Zardari. A clean game"
i'm in no mood of arguing with her about the game being clean but everyone knows its not. Mr. Zardari is so lucky to be sheltered by the NRO that he should thank Mush all his life for making the mistake. All the corruption, all the cases against him (and mind you, against wadairas etc, murder cases are not even registered) are given legal cover. Wat an oxymoron. But he really is a clever player, and certainly not a clean one.
The changing of names from Bilawal zardari to Bilawal Bhutto Zardari was the political gimmick of the century. It got the sympathies of so may Bhutto supporters. The sorry face he'd put after the death of BB, and quoting her frequently was very very intentional and did its job fully. In that respect, well played truly Mr. Zardari. He's fooled so many including the very gullible Nawaz Sharif into believing so much that would never happen. Take the judges issue, i feel sorry for Nawaz Shareef in this case. I mean, he's being handled like a baby.
All said and done, zardari will finally and eventually go on to be the president, one of the stupidest things that would ever happen to this country. Who'd have imagined Mr. Ten Percent as the head of the state. Even BB would've been baffled to say the least. Damn, i cant believe we're going to make him the president!
In the end there's one thing someone told me Mush said in his final days. When asked about the assassins of BB he commented
"Look around you, who has been the biggest beneficiary of her death?" probably the only honest thing Mush said in 8 years!
