Musharraf imposes military rule:
Musharraf, who took power in a 1999 coup and is also head of Pakistan's army, suspended the constitution on Saturday ahead of a Supreme Court ruling on whether his recent re-election as president was legal. He ousted seven independent-minded Supreme Court judges, put a stranglehold on independent media and granted sweeping powers to authorities to crush dissent.
One small difference: Bush would probably keep the complicit Supreme Court who anti-democratically installed him in the first place.
Hat tip to my most excellent stepfather, Don Doiron.
