"Memogate is taking a turn that, to me at least, appears to be at odds with the restored civilian-military relationship."
"Well, now the kebab may haddi (bone in the kebab), a Pakistani expression reflecting our love for food in general and meat in particular, is Mansoor Ijaz."
"But one family must be happy with this new turn of events!"
"If you reckon it is the Mian family, then let me assure you that the last four years show that they would rather go to bed with President Zardari notwithstanding his mindset that deals can change given the changing political environment, then with the army or ISI."
"I was not referring to the Mian family and I was not referring to the Chaudhrys either."
"I digress, but I found Nawaz Sharif's statement rather off kilter, I mean after the Chaudhrys have made a deal with the PPP, and need I add the Chaudhrys do honour deals - their statements of support for Musharraf even when the guy was clearly on the out bears ample testimony to this fact - anyway his statement that if the Chaudhrys apologise then they can join the PML (N) got the rebuttal that was expected: that Nawaz Sharif should first apologise for his support for Ziaul Haq."
"I wouldn't say off kilter I would say downright stupid."
"Agreed, anyway the family that must be happy with the turn of events is the Haqqani family."
"You crazy!"
"Well, Mansoor Ijaz brought the family together. You remember when Haqqani was our Ambassador to the US his wife was resident in this country as she was engaged in some job or the other in the Presidency."
"True, but when Haqqani came back to this country to answer charges of sedition or whatever then his wife left Pakistan for the US and he was alone in the luxurious accommodation provided by the Prime Minister."
"Right, but within 24 hours of the court allowing him to exit the country he was out and the family was reunited!"
"Interesting, so now that the court has summoned him what will happen?"
"He may seek the same courtesy as that provided to Mansoor Ijaz."
"Give evidence in our embassy in the US? That way the family will stay together."
"Indeed, a family that stays together, what's that expression?"
"A family that prays together stays together."
