Musharraf to Bush: Not my problem

Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf on Thursday ruled out sending troops to help restore stability in Iraq, rebuffing pleas from the Iraqi interim government and the United States.

"As far as Pakistan is concerned, our domestic environment is not conducive. It continues to be not conducive. We cannot be seen as an extension of the present forces there," Musharraf said.

"And besides, your credit is overextended. We've already provided you DNC diversion, and we're holding some of your bigger cards so you can produce a "capture" nearer to the November election. Ante up something more from your end if you expect to get more from ours."

On Iran, which Washington accuses of developing nuclear weapons, Musharraf said: "Whatever Iran is doing is in its own affair."

He added: "Iran needs to deliberate over whatever their internal situation on the nuclear front is, and take their own actions."

Damn! It is so difficult to keep these puppets on their strings.
