Bush bites back
Having been stung by the political fallback in Washington and fearing Senate reprisal, the so-called leader of the free world rang up Mushy last night to give him an ultimatum. In a curt twenty minute conversation, he very “frankly” told him what the State Dept. had been saying for a few days now: that the United States did not have “unlimited patience” for unruly dictators in the Orient who persisted in giving the War on Terror a bad name. Promptly and deferentially, Musharraf agreed to set a date for the elections: Feb. 15th 2008. But not to worry Mush, keep your chin up. He did put in a few good words for your role in fighting terrorism after all. Oh and lets not forget the tacit support in letting you hang on to your rather impressive looking uniform for a bit longer.
“When will the United States develop some depth in their foreign policy I wonder?”
“When the Pakistanis have a fair election, or hell freezes over, whichever comes first.”
