Musharraf: “We Are Not Looking For Bin Laden”
Well, how about sending back all the money, then, pal.
The U.S. has dropped $10 billion into Pakistani dictator Pervez Musharraf’s lap — much of it in cash. Allegedly, that’s to fight the jihadists in his country and across his border. But, somehow, that mission does not involve hunting for Osama bin Laden.
Musharraf, in response to a 60 Minutes question about bin Laden, said, “We are not particularly looking for him, but we are operating against terrorists and Al Qaeda and militant Taliban. And in the process, obviously, combined, maybe we are looking for him also.”
But how seriously is he taking that larger fight, really? Despite a number of high-profile bombings in his country, Musharraf said he couldn’t “say for sure” whether groups like the Taliban were “regrouping” or “getting stronger.” He also said that Islamic extremists “may be getting stronger. I can’t say for sure.”
But the worst part of the interview may have been when Musharraf was asked who was to blame for Benazir Bhutto’s assassination. Musharraf replied, “Only she.”
So much for our most trusted ally in the war on terror.
