Can you name the general who is in charge of Pakistan?

BUSH: Wait, wait, is this 50 questions?

Andy Hiller: No, it�s four questions of four leaders in four hot spots.

BUSH: The new Pakistani general, he�s just been elected�not elected, this guy just took over office. It appears this guy is going to bring stability to the country, and I think that�s good news for the Subcontinent.

Hiller: Can you name him?

BUSH: General. I can�t name the general. General.

3. Oh, I'd forgotten that.

Thanks for the reminder.

What a dolt. No wonder his foreign policy consists of 'Yee-Haw!'

Funny thing is, I literally said Musharraf out loud before I opened your thread.

5. Well, he loves the Saudis and the UAE Emirs too!!!

Unelected DESPOTS, all of them, who own EVERYTHING.

See, freedom-loving peoples are only important when you have a shot at knocking over the despot and swiping the oil....the rest of them can go screw themselves, apparently.

6. But Musharraf is a 'good' dictator.

Kinda like the sort of dictator chimpy would be if he could be. It 'would make things a lot easier' for dear leader.

7. When Bush was selected the first time

Edited on Fri Mar-03-06 08:04 PM by fujiyama

by the SC, I would call him Busharraf.

Interestingly enough, many Pakistanis called Musharraf the same thing after 9/11 because of his perceived cooperation with Bush.
