ISLAMABAD: After a flurry of ‘telephone diplomacy’ between Islamabad, Washington and Kabul, President Gen Pervez Musharraf has agreed to attend the concluding session of the Joint Peace Jirga in Afghanistan.

The president conveyed his consent to Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Friday evening when the latter telephoned him and invited him to the jirga’s closing session.

A brief statement issued by the Foreign Office said President Karzai telephoned President Musharraf on Friday evening and invited him to attend the closing session of the Joint Peace Jirga.

“President Karzai said that the president’s personal participation would be a source of support and encouragement for the jirga process. The president agreed in principle to address the closing session of the Joint Peace Jirga,” the statement said.

It is not clear at this point when the president would travel to Kabul as the three-day jirga, which started on Thursday, has been extended.

No. It was your point. It's not for me to make it.

hard to tell if you’re a wise guy or didn’t read the comments as far as even post # 2.

It doesn’t really matter now, though.

Isn't hard to tell that you like unnamed sources and when you are called on it, you post BS like the above comment to me.

you really ought to roll it back up to # 4 here before you get on your rocking-horse. Your shit was never asked for or warranted.

Your post #14, is another classless post.

About Rice and your post number #2, I simply asked you to back up your statement. You then proceeded to tell me to find the proof myself and then when you did finally give me a source, it turned out to be unnamed.

and you didn’t even bother to read my comment at post# 2 under the nonsensical article at the link, which (combined with the article above) is the source of my amusement and cynicism toward articles out of Pakistan expressed in post #2 on THIS thread. Nonetheless, if you had been reading news re Pakistan over the last few days (what did condi do? remember?), you wouldn’t have needed to demand sourcing from me.....trust me, they have been plentiful.

So this little exchange between you and I here is moot. I gave you the benefit of the doubt to a point, but you finally cleared it up for me. Oh, one last thing.....obviously you have no clue as to what Aricept is, which is why the joke in #2 above went right over your head.

Sources? Plentiful? LOL! The publication of the unnamed source is plentiful. I haven't seen any direct Rice quotes that show, she said what you said she said. The importance of having direct quotes apparently remains over your head.

Your charge about Rice remains unsupported.

BTW, I know what Aricept is. Your joke is stupid because it is based on false information.
