He responded that, indeed, he was aware that some type of plan had been proposed before he assumed office and that it had been readily dismissed because, in his words, the plan was absolutely foolish. He said that once he took over Pakistan he was informed of the purported "plan" and that he'd agreed it was a foolish approach as proposed by Clinton and that it was not at all in Pakistan's interests to try and proceed, Too bad he didn't elaborate on the details of said plan. I wonder if it involved appeasement of OBL/Taliban with promises of Pakistani territory. Or maybe BillyBob decided to explore the religious aspects of negotiation ("Hey Musharek, ole buddy, did Ah hear somethin' about virgins?")
