"What in the world is Poodle's emissary doing in Islamabad! I mean who invited him? We don't have to put up with bad manners from him surely! I mean it's OK to take it from the Poodle's master - Bush."
"I am amazed that Musharraf took that sanctimonious rubbish about cross-border terrorism from Blair - the guy who had the audacity to take his country to war in Iraq against the majority of British public opinion, that's democracy for you, on the flimsiest of all excuses! I mean Musharraf should just tell them to get off where they truly need to get off."
"Behind the Americans."
"What?"
"Is that where they should truly get off? Behind the Americans!"
"Right. Yes, you are right."
"Don't get so excited. He has come as an emissary of Bush I think - there is a need to catch Osama before the US elections and Straw probably thinks that Musharraf and his boss, the Poodle, are in the same position: in bad shape, if Bush loses so they are off to catch Osama."
"You know we have our own problems. I mean what with 50 dead in the attack on Shias in Quetta.
"There is an allegation that most of the people were killed by the Anti-Terrorism Force (ATF) and Frontier Corps officials and the Shias have refused to bury their dead until these two forces are withdrawn from the inquiry."
"That's serious."
"Well, the allegation is negligence or, worse, collusion and they maintain that the 26 people arrested from their community must be released forthwith."
"Some have been released and they allege that they were brutally tortured."
"Well, our forces did learn something from the Americans, didn't they?"
"Let's be fair - our forces were torturing our own people well before the Americans landed in Afghanistan."
"Ah, irony of ironies! The ATF itself is being charged with terrorism."
"Well, in a nutshell yes."
"Man, that's bad."
"Indeed."
