Musharraf speaks with forked tongue

Out of one side of his mouth, Musharraf claims he is widening the war to take on the Taliban and al-Qaeda. Out of the other side of his mouth, he says "if the United States would carry out its “threat” of incursion into Pakistan territory," Pakistan would "cease any cooperation with the U.S. and the international community in the campaign against terrorism."

"We feel that Pakistan has done more than the U.S., NATO and Britain in the campaign against terrorism, sacrificing nearly a thousand of its officers and soldiers and deploying 85,000 troops," [Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Mushahid] Hussein said.

Hussein added that despite all of Pakistan's efforts to fight Al-Qa'ida and Taliban, it was still treated as a foe rather than a friend. He said a unilateral incursion of the U.S. army into Pakistan, without the consent of the Pakistani government, would be regarded as a violation of the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity.


The U.S. Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Nicholas Burns recently said the United States would take unilateral action if it had credible information that "senior Al-Qa'ida leaders were hiding in a particular place" in Pakistan.

"We feel that such an action would provoke a popular backlash among the people of Pakistan, which would also be detrimental to the U.S. national security interest," Hussein said.

The United States' Congress passed legislation on Friday that would tie U.S. aid to Pakistan to the latter's efforts to stop Al-Qa'ida and the Taliban operating in its territory. The legislation has been sent to U.S. President George W. Bush for signature. (The Media Line)

Maybe we should arrest Islamic Rage Boy and charge him with "hate speech".

Ernesto: I'm glad your blog is back up, some amazing pictures you have.

Phil: Yep, but Musharraf has done some to help the US and it has hurt him badly at home. He's between a rock and hard place for sure.

We need to stop worrying about winning "hearts and minds" and start owning their asses.

...and in Pakistan, the Red Mosque militants scream: "Musharraf is a killer!"

And the terrorist Pakis killing policemen and civil people with bombs, they are NOT killers, even worst?

It's BIGGER! It's BETTER! It's SHOCKER!

Nicholas Burns idea is the correct one to follow and not listen to Mushahid Hussein he's an idiot and plain to see that he has no interest at all in helping the U.S. Fight Terrorism.
