1. Do not allow our U.S. A. to appease Bush. He want's congress

2. It's impossible. How could the US even recognize Musharraf? He overthrew

Pakistan in a coup. He was never elected. He's a General who seized the country. He wasn't recognized by even the Communists. That is, until aWol become Boy King.

5. Oh sure, and all that selling of nuclear bomb-making technology

is forgiven. No big deal, you're just a major proliferator of WMDs, you can be our friend.

6. Except for Britain and Australia, Bush's biggest allies are totalitarian

dicatorships like these guys (Pakistan) and Saudi Arabia and I suppose Italy with their fascist president who happens to own all the major media there.

I guess that's about it for allies. Oh, I guess India is an ally, since their being bribed with our jobs.

US to make Pakistan non-NATO ally

From correspondents in Islamabad
18mar04

US Secretary of State Colin Powell announced today the United States will designate Pakistan a "major non-NATO ally," in a move that will boost military cooperation between the two countries.

"I advised the foreign minister this morning that we will also be making a notification to our Congress that will designate Pakistan as a major non-NATO ally for the purposes of our future military to military relations," Powell told a press conference after meeting his counterpart Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri.

The designation means that certain restrictions on arms sales are dropped.

Pakistan will join a handful of other countries such as Japan, Thailand, Kuwait, Egypt, Israel and Jordan in receiving preferential treatment from the United States on the military front.



So soon after Spain's little deal - hmmmm

8. And India, world's largest democracy and Pakistan's mortal enemy,

can go to hell, I suppose.

9. All out war/chaos I tell ya! That's what they want in the ME...

Maybe they feel their time is growing short and feeling desperate... doing things that just do not make a whole lot of sense. Of course, you could say that about all this cabal does!

They are definitely reaching more and more to the FAR extremes lately even moreso than before it seems, but then again maybe I'm just imagining things!
