No wonder Bush likes Mushy so much!


"Musharraf says he's staying; Pakistan president denies rumors he plans to step down" by Matthew Pennington, Associated Press | May 31, 2008

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - President Pervez Musharraf dismissed mounting speculation he is preparing to resign, while political opponents and media yesterday clamored for his departure after eight years in power.

Pakistan's public sounds exactly like AmeriKa's!!!

A late-night meeting this week between Musharraf and his successor as army chief fueled rumors that the longtime US ally in its war on terror would resign. The new civilian government wants to strip the president of key powers, and some in the coalition are seeking his impeachment....

I think I just ejaculated, readers!!!

Several major newspapers yesterday urged the president to resign.

Now I'm all sticky, readers!!!

The Urdu-language daily Nawa-i-Waqt, in an editorial headlined "King Musharraf," said he was running out of options and should learn a lesson from King Gyanendra, who was forced out as monarch of Nepal this week after that nation's Parliament voted to make the country a republic....

President Bush gave his backing to Musharraf in a telephone call yesterday. White House press secretary Dana Perino said Bush "reiterated the United States' strong support for Pakistan, and he indicated he looks forward to President Musharraf's continuing role in further strengthening US-Pakistani relations."

There goes Bush again, displaying the brilliant political acumen he's known for!!!
