Bill Clinton & King Abdallah surprise Musharraf

This was a good read…

*“A luncheon hosted by American businessmen and investors at a swank restaurant for President Musharraf had surprise visitors — the King and Queen of Jordan, accompanied by former US president Bill Clinton, in a warm gesture to the Pakistani leader.”

The same Bill Clinton who had shown arrogance and a cold shoulder to Pakistan and Musharraf on his last visit to South Asia as US president, c late 1999.

There is no such thing as cold shoulder, friends or enemies BUT INTEREST.

Musharraf holds the most important post in South Asia.

Re: Bill Clinton & King Abdallah surprise Musharraf

Musharraf alone would not be able to do it, it is the Pakistan Army, he has its full support. that is why he will not take off the Uniform.

Re: Bill Clinton & King Abdallah surprise Musharraf

Any self-respecting and dignified leader would have remembered that snub...Alas, mushie must have bent over at the first sight of Clinton...

Re: Bill Clinton & King Abdallah surprise Musharraf

Towards the end of the function, the three walked to the president in the dining room amid cheers from the gathering. They went straight towards him and warmly shook hands with him.

Yup, all the news from New York is that Democrats as well as Republican leaders are going out of their way to be seen with Musharraf. In fact the White House has specifically come to Pakistan’s defence when Indian-sponsored correspondents are blasting it. All this feting of Musharraf in the Big Apple should put paid to all that talk that the American’s have turned against him. Musharraf is back! :jhanda:
