"RAWALPINDI, Pakistan (AP) - President Gen. Pervez Musharraf bid farewell to his fellow commanders Tuesday, a day before he steps down as army chief to restore Pakistan to civilian rule.
Former premier Nawaz Sharif, the man Musharraf ousted in a 1999 coup, said Musharraf's removal from the army would make «a lot of difference,» but
insisted the president do much more to end Pakistan's political crisis.
A guard of honor of about 150 army, navy and air force personnel stood to attention as Musharraf arrived at the army headquarters in the garrison city of Rawalpindi.
The colonial-style complex contains Musharraf's own office, from where he has controlled Pakistan since ousting Sharif's government in a 1999 coup.
