Musharraf: “I take pride in the fact that, being a man in uniform, I have actually introduced the essence of democracy in Pakistan, whether anyone believes it or not.”
The Bolivian government has been accusing the American ambassador and USAID of attempting to destabilize it. The US has responded with a communication to the Bolivian ambassador demonstrating the high regard we have for the sovereignty of Bolivia. State Dept Sean McCormack summarized the statement: “The basic message is just stop it, knock it off.”
Bush met with Japanese Prime Minister Fukuda and after much hard negotiating, made an important decision: “One of the things we’ve decided to do is to continue to make sure the U.S.-Japanese relationship is the cornerstone of security and peace.”
And the cornerstone of the US-Japanese relationship? “I’m looking forward to our lunch.” Seriously, what is it with Bush, foreign leaders, and food? Saturday with Angela Merkel it was “I’m now going to go feed the Chancellor a hamburger.” Today with Fukuda, “I think we’re going to serve the Prime Minister -- I hope we serve him some good U.S. beef, which is a good way to bring up the subject of beef.”
