Partly Facetious: army House only place for Lotas to get together

"There is something about Kashmala that I have always liked."
Published July 12, 2008

"There is something about Kashmala that I have always liked."
"The fact that she says exactly what's on her mind and the consequences be damned?"
"No politician does that, but no one."
"She has said some rather interesting things about Faisal Saleh Hayat."
"Indeed she has but only when he became a non-entity and by that I mean when he had no power other than an 'in' to the Army House so to speak."
"A house that no one else goes to these days."
"Right, it's not all that popular as a destination these days; the exception is the Lota party that no one else wants to join forces with."
"Kashmala says that the Chaudhrys went to AZ and he rejected them as well as a former Jiyala Faisal Saleh Hayat."
"That is believable."
"She also said they went to Nawaz Sharif's residence and the Man With Hair (MWH) refused to meet with them but did send some low level functionary."
"Height of bad manners for Mian Sahib but then his anger against his former Lotas who abandoned him is justified."
"I agree so the only place these Lotas can go to is the Army House. But you know even American officials are going there."
"Right but not to make deals I think just as a matter of courtesy."
"And because Bush may have told these officials to."
"That too, for after all, all the King's men have fallen by the wayside."
"What King?"
"Bush, the one time King of the World and let's be honest all his foreign supporters have fallen except Musharraf."
"You think Musharraf is still standing upright?"
"Don't be facetious."
"No seriously."
"Maybe, his commando training has forced him to stay upright but without that he would have been bent like the ancient oak tree in your garden."
"Eight years in the job and he is finished."
"That is a lifetime in politics especially if you have no voting constituency."
"That is what our history teaches us."
