Partly Facetious: Bilour will survive come what may?

"Bilour says he stands by his bounty call."
"Are you sure?"
"He says that neither the PPP nor the ANP high command has told him to back down."
"The PPP high command and the ANP high command were meeting Hillary Clinton in the US at the time and Clinton expressed deep concern over Bilour's remarks."
"Which, if the Prime Minister's office and the ANP Information Minister are to be believed, are not the views of the government or the party!"
"Who cares? Biilour certainly reckons he will survive come what may?"
"If only his performance as a Railways Minister had been good I would have insisted he stay and this is not because I support what he said just that I cant find too many ministers who are effective and..."
"Don't be facetious. Bilour and his family are close to Asfandyar Wali Khan and Asfandyar Wali Khan is close to President Zardari so I don't think Bilour will have to pay any price."
"But what if he is forced to?"
"So he will make a private apology to the US."
"What if the US wants a public apology?"
"Then he may couch it in terms which would be acceptable to what he believes his constituents support."
"One question: if someone does kill the guy who made the film and that man is from al Qaeda then what will Bilour do?"
"I don't understand. His statement is clear; anyone who kills that guy will receive 100,000 dollars."
"But with the government and the ANP distancing themselves from his statement where in the world would Bilour get the money to pay the bounty."
"The Railways remains a cash cow for some, not everything that was to be sold has been sold if you know what I mean."
"But what if the US wants a bounty on his head which may not mean cash for his death simply his removal from office then where would he get the money from?"
"Its academic, I don't think it will come to that and no I don't think he will pay from his own pocket."
"So he is typical of our political class: there is no price for idiocy."
"There is no price for idiocy, corruption, nepotism and..."
"Hey, you never know when to stop do you!"
