Partly Facetious: deal, no deal

"Britain has accepted her involvement in Musharraf's resignation deal."
Published August 21, 2008

"Britain has accepted her involvement in Musharraf's resignation deal."
"No deal, say PPP walas."
"Right and we believe that."
"So you believe the PPP enough to vote the party to power but not enough to accept what they are saying."
"That's right. I don't accept what their leadership is saying with respect to no deal with Musharraf, with their supposed intent to restore the judiciary of November 2, of their constant denials that they have nothing against Iftikhar Chaudhry, of..."
"Hey stop already. Anyway Britain is the only country that has accepted being a party to this Musharraf resignation deal. And they say it was in our national interest."
"As was the colonisation of our part of the world by the Brits, as is their frequent attacks inside Pakistan territory, as is their..."
"Hush - if you take their money you have to take their interference."
"But the US has denied involvement. They claim that they support democracy and were instrumental in ensuring fair and free elections this year..."
"Which I can believe as the ruling party lost soundly."
"Would some tell Mushahid of the balancing act that! And by balancing I mean a receding hairline balanced by a widening waistline. I don't think anyone has told him that."
"That happens if anyone doesn't stand for elections himself. Lets leave his delusions be."
"Anyway Saudi Arabia has also denied that a plane is waiting to carry Musharraf away."
"Musharraf has denied that he is going anywhere."
"Musharraf denied he was resigning a day before he resigned."
"Ah yes there is that."
"So who do we believe?"
"Strange as it may sound right now I believe the PML (N) only."
"I see."
