Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wagn'nagl fhtagn ("In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming."). --HP Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu

The stars hath turned in the heavens once more: Mighty Cthulhu stirs. His dreams reacheth forth, communing with those with ears to hear. Iä! Shub-Niggurath! His thoughts trample down along the pathways of thy mind; thou knowest His footprints, each of which is a wound...

Wups...

Via Daily Kos comes this exchange between CNN's Paula Zahn and Pakitstani President, Pervez Musharraf:

ZAHN: Is the world a safer place because of the war in Iraq?

MUSHARRAF: No. It's more dangerous. It's not safer, certainly not.

ZAHN: How so?

MUSHARRAF: Well, because it has aroused actions of the Muslims more. It's aroused certain sentiments of the Muslim world, and then the responses, the latest phenomena of explosives, more frequent for bombs and suicide bombings. This phenomenon is extremely dangerous.

ZAHN: Was it a mistake to have gone to war with Iraq?

MUSHARRAF: Well, I would say that it has ended up bringing more trouble to the world.


Boy, ya know, there was a time when supporting the head of a military coup would at least get you a semblance of solidarity. Even if that lip-service was only for a few years.

But given Bush 41's track record of handling dictators (like recruiting Manuel Noriega, or fighting Daniel Ortega), I guess it was inevitable that Dumbya™ would botch this pick as well.

Fortunately, NBC was around to give Pervez a chance to clear up any misunderstandings:
BROKAW: Do you think the American war against Iraq was a mistake?

MUSHARRAF: Well, I wouldn't comment on that. But I will certainly say that it has complicated the issue.

BROKAW: In your part of the world.

MUSHARRAF: In the Islamic world. In the Iraqi region. In the Middle East.

BROKAW: Made it worse for America?

MUSHARRAF: Yes.


Allawi got his copy of the RNC's talking points, but it looks like Rove forgot to get a copy to Pervez.

Wups indeed.
