Does it strike anyone else as odd that this coincides with the recent discussion as to whether Pakistan will allow the US in its borders to pursue Bin Laden and US asserting that it will do it if it wants to? Musharaff got to put up a good front of defiance to his country, hopefully reducing the fervor of those who are trying to kill him, and Bush gets to maintain his stance of "F you, we're getting this guy" and all with very little consequence beyond perception and posturing.
That darned Karl Rove again?
That very thought occurred to me. When did Pakistan announce this "deal" about US troops possibly going into Pakistan to hunt OBL and Zarahiwi? Oh, and before I forget...
I do find it suspicious.
