Did the Pakistan military all quit and go home?? My guess is that we haven’t heard the last from Musharreff or the military.

says President Pervez Musharraf is nearing a decision on resigning unless he retains full powers. Musharraf

So, if he does not retain full powers, he will not be nearing a decision on resigning?

Gotta love the writing at the PTR.

Yeah, I read the whole thing. I'm not commenting on the content of the story. I'm commenting on the way the journalist worded the opening sentence.

Heil's statement is full of ambiguity. She hasn't said he's going to resign unless he retains full power. She only claimed that he's nearing a decision, but unless he retains full power, he will not be near making a decision.

Another way to read her comment is that he's nearing a decision to stay in power, but unless he retains full power, he will back away from that decision. In other words, he will only stay in power if he retains no power.
