Pervez Musharraf has recognized - rather late - that the game is over. In the end, there was no one left to support him. Not the parliamentarians in his own party. Not the army, which he led for more than a decade. Not his long-time allies Washington, George Bush and Dick Cheney.

TARAR KHAL, AJK: Prime Minister Imran Khan Friday promised the people of Kashmir that his government will hold a referendum in which they could choose to join Pakistan or become an independent state.
Addressing an election campaign rally here, he rubbished talk of him wishing to turn Azad Jammu and Kashmir into a new province of Pakistan . I do not know where all this talk has sprung from, he said, dismissing any such idea. But what I want to make clear now is that in 1948, there were two United Nations Security Council resolutions which granted the people of Kashmir the right to decide their future. According to the UN resolutions, the people have to decide whether they want to join Hindustan or Pakistan.
