Things are getting a little tangly.
We say we are going to use Pakistan as staging grounds for a strike into Afghanistan in the spring (to get Osama - please, no smart-ass cracks). And Pakistan says we are not. So far, that's what Pakistan says. Musharraf is having a little trouble at home.
He's not exactly the most popular man in Pakistan, and now he's got a little matter of a nuclear scientist who's just been sacked and is supposedly holding some damning information over the heads of Musharaff and Bush. They say the guy was a "rogue" who gave nuclear information to Iran and Libya. He says he was acting with the full complicity of the Pakistani government. He's disappeared from public view. Imagine. His daughter claims to have a tape proving his claims which she will release if anybody's thinking about making him a "scapegoat".
And you thought you had headaches dealing with all your family over the holidays.
What to do. What to do.
Meanwhile, in Iran...
More than a third of Iran's reformist parliamentarians have submitted their resignations, saying they cannot serve in a government that holds unfair elections and doesn't represent the will of the people.
Hmmm. Democracy. What an intriguing idea.
The resigning officials include more than 80 sitting members of parliament who were banned by the hard-line Guardian Council from seeking re-election.
The resignations came two days after the conservative Guardian Council announced it had reinstated only a third of the 3,600 mostly reformist candidates it disqualified from Iran's coming parliamentary election.
But thank god for Libya. Libya, oh Libya.
Libya is responsible for many deaths resulting from acts of terrorism over the years and for much regional instability...The issue now facing the United States is whether we can disregard the outrageous track record of the Libyan regime for the past 3-1/2 decades. article
Oh, hell yeah. Fuhget about it.
When the U.S. flag flies over our embassy in Tripoli once more, we will have demonstrated yet again our commitment to a more peaceful and stable world.
That's what I'm talkin' about.
