Perv makes a move in Pakistan
Pakistani media is reporting that Pervez Musharraf is likely to declare a monthlong to three-month state of emergency to crack down on all the miscreants and scofflaws running around and raising hell there. Dictatorships bite and civil liberties are important, but I gotta grit my teeth and go with Perv on this one -- Pakistan needs to take tough action and now to rein in al-Qaida, the Taliban, radical clerics, the lawless terror haven of Waziristan, and on and on. Granted, this move will likely be more about Musharraf's interests in self-preservation, having survived at least four assassination attempts by this point. But they're at ground zero, and need to wipe out their terrorists now.
Of course, expect Barack Obama to take credit for any action taken by Pakistan: "If I hadn't threatened to attack, shown my novice understanding of foreign policy, and pissed off the entire country of Pakistan..."
Note to Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan (Islamic fundamentalist) protesters in the pic: Your spelling SUCKS! If you want to threaten Obama, Tancredo and Bush with death, at least spell it right. And your effigy construction needs some work, too.
What beef does Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan have with Tom Tancredo? Were they thinking about immigrating here illegally?
Heh, they'd make it far across the border! Tancredo said if terrorists use nukes against the U.S., then we should bomb Mecca. That's when they began designing his effigy.
