For a start as John Mace pointed out Musharraf is pimping a book in the USA
- I wonder who published it, if it were Little Brown then all would be clear to me
Pakistan has been playground friends with the USA for a very, very long time.
Things are a bit of a problem as the USA used to fund and arm the Taliban, with the help of Pakistan’s Intelligence Service. If they are like other states’ Intelligence Services, then they are a bit of a loose cannon …
I am quite sure that the ‘dark ages’ phrase was used, but it would have been between old friends while splitting a bottle of Scotch.
As others have pointed out, the Pakistanis have been rather helpful
- although I would not be surprized if Musharraf retired and went on the lecture tour
