U.S. ally President Pervez Musharraf said he would resign today. Musharraf has been under pressure to leave office, due to the ruling party's attempt to impeach him, and told the country, "I don't want the people of Pakistan to slide deeper and deeper into uncertainty....I am not asking for anything. I will let the people of Pakistan decide my future." Musharraf rose to power in a "bloodless coup" in 1999, but, per CNN, "his power had eroded since parties opposed to his rule swept to victory in February's parliamentary elections." His resignation will likely to accepted by the parliament and he has reportedly been granted "safe passage" out of the country.

There goes our puppet...
Gothamist: we do read other news sources. You don't have to cover everything that happens in the world. We come here for news related to New York and to all have a good ole fashioned bitching session. Sometimes ideas are exchanged and sometimes a troll throws in a racist remark. Oh the rich tapestry... but it's a New York tapestry!
Jen closes her eyes on a daily basis wishing this was gawker.com, hence the world news.
A worthy dream but since she can't write an article without at least one grammatical error, its only going to stay in a pipe.
No, I'm perfectly happy getting crapped on by you commenters like you here day in, day out.
Actually, given the sizable Pakistani population this is a very big deal for NYC. My Brooklyn nabe yesterday held its annual massive Pakistan Independence Day street festival. (I couldn't stop by, so I don't know if the word of his resignation literally-n-figuratively hit the streets at the same time.)

No need to worry, GW Bush said he's not accepting the resignation.
" 'Safe passage' out of the country." Do they really need another laundromat in Dubai?
OMG people leave the girl alone, when they try covering more frivolous topics it's bad because it's too Gawker-esque, if they try covering serious topics it's not relatable and OT.
Enough with the complaining, this is a blog not CNN.
On second though maybe it was not such a good idea to compare the too, since anything is better then CNN (Faux being the exception).
