Let me end by quoting a news item in the press of a few days ago: ‘Lisa Curtis of the Heritage Foundation think tank said US officials had been “somewhat behind the curve” in grasping how much Musharraf’s standing had diminished and how strong the pro-democratic sentiment was in Pakistan.
“The political landscape has changed drastically inside Pakistan over the last six months, with Musharraf’s popularity plummeting, and I think the administration understands that and is now seeking to adapt its policy accordingly,” Curtis said.
Kindly note the words “diminished”, “pro-democratic sentiment”, “changed drastically” and “plummeting”, Ms Bhutto. What a pity that you walked out of the ARD — you could have been leading it by now.
Oh, well.
The End
