"I saw BB on Aaj."
"Yep she says she won't announce her return till the 14th of September."
"Four days after Nawaz Sharif's reception in Pakistan is beamed around the world?"
"Precisely!"
"Who does she think she is trying to kid?"
"The TV channel."
"I would assume so. I mean what she had to say did not convince anyone that her choice in identifying the day of announcement was because she didn't want to compete with Nawaz Sharif."
"What else is politics about? I mean haven't these two always competed - a fact which allowed the army to step in, may I add..."
"Nawaz Sharif did something rather silly eight years ago..."
"Let's hope he has matured."
"His hair certainly has."
"Well, I think it's a little bit more than his hair. He is making a lot of sense these days and this is in marked contrast to what he used to say when he had the Mandak."
"So Nawaz Sharif has finally stolen a march over BB?"
"First time ever and to me it shows maturity."
"Agreed, but what has happened to BB? Why is she continuing to discount an independent judiciary? I mean even if Musharraf pardons her for her past sins surely, some one may still take her to court for her past misrule and..."
"Why doesn't she seek justice from the courts instead of from Musharraf?"
"Because she may think justice means that she will be behind bars."
"I am afraid even as a Jiyala that is the only response that makes sense with respect to her attempts to make a deal with Musharraf."
"Why doesn't her party split from her now?"
"And be led by Aitezaz Ahsan who has shown much greater sense of the ground realities."
"Ah yes, but BB doesn't appreciate anyone who is more respected than her."
"Then she has her work cut out for her."
