Don't call me, I'll call you

President Bush of the US, President Karzai of Afghanistan and President General Musharraf of Pakistan of dined together at the White House last night.

(It is said that President Bush couldn't understand why they weren't having pork chops like always on Thursdays. White House Chief of Protocol Donald Burnham Ensenat had the unenviable task of trying to explain the concept of halal to The Decider(TM). After several minutes of intense discussion the President indicated that he understood. "Heh. Like kosher. My buddy Abramoff won't eat pork chops either. Not even on Thursdays.")

The conversation was undoubtedly tense but with the friendly Texan at the controls we can be certain that diplomacy was maintained. Afterwards the two south Asians said that they would "stay in touch".

Both of the neighbours expressed concern at reports that Taliban attacks had doubled since President Musharraf had come to a hands off agreement with tribes on the Afghan-Pakistan border.

Meanwhile in London an MOD report was leaked which accuses ISI (the Pakistani security service) of supporting al Qaeda and the Taliban. President Musharraf was not amused.

Also yesterday Amnesty International (known lefties and terrorcoddlers) released a report accusing Pakistan of "widespread human rights violations" including the torture of detainees.
