*“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.
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!
