Musharraf defends the military acquisitions, claiming that they are economically efficient, and angrily dismisses criticism as the ranting of unpatriotic Pakistani pseudo-intellectuals. But they are “efficient” only in the sense that they dampen the threat to Musharraf posed by the military.
穆沙拉夫为军方的攫取辩护，宣称这样会带来更好的经济效益，并愤怒地驳斥相关的批评，说它们是没有爱国心的巴基斯坦伪知识分子的咆哮。但它们的“效益”仅仅在于能够抑制军方对穆沙拉夫的威胁。
