Musharraf withdrew the emergency and restored the constitution, but a few days later Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in Rawalpindi after she addressed a large election rally. Musharraf postponed the elections scheduled for December 2007 until February 2008.
演讲中提到的第二个“错误”发生在同年11月。那时，穆沙拉夫政府没能遏制法律界令人赞叹的旨在迫使政府为乔杜里复职的公民反抗运动。穆沙拉夫再次鲁莽地宣布全国进入紧急状态，而当时最高法院的裁决是让乔杜里恢复原职。这次，穆沙拉夫对原本已经经历人事调整的司法部再次洗牌，于是再次把乔杜里撤职。政府掏空了最高法院中相对独立的法官，安插了更“值得信赖的”团体。
