#1 Hu Jintao, Prince Abdullah and Pervez Musharraf are worse than Cuba's Castro and Venezuela's Chavez? You gotta love it.

#6 Perv may not belong among the 10 Worst Dictators but he is certainly among the 10 Best Dressed Dictators. Very smart uniform.

I can't wait to see Joan & Melissa Rivers interview him on the red carpet at this year's Dickie Awards.

#14 Musharaf is a lying scumbag. Three months after attending a sham "peace" summit with India, he launched a surprise attack on the mountain regions of the Indian province of Kashmir. He labeled the nuclear proliferator, Khan (who was hand delivered nuclear information from Paki employees of the Atomic Energy Commission and other foreign agencies) a "state hero," and did nothing when Khan delivered WMD technology to North Korea and the Persian Islamofascist entity. Mushy's Pakistan Muslim League party slavishly shares power with the terrorist' Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal in Punjabi occupied Balochistan, and jointly carried out a moment of silence in the provincial assembly when a Paki terrorist was justly executed for slaughtering 2 CIA employees on American soil. The US-Paki alliance is an insult to American dead. Its time to finance Sindhi, Balochi independence movements to enable them to break free from the Punjabi terrorist entity.

#16 With Musharaf we had to make a deal with the devil in order to get into Afghanistan. We also have to have enough "in" with somebody in charge in order to have a handle on Pakistani nukes so they do not fall into the hands if Jihadi nutcases. Musharaf is a scumbag, but we have to deal with him. The alternatives are pretty bleak. Kinda like rollerskating in a gravel pit. It ain't too pretty a process.

#17 Musharaf we deal with because we slept through the 1990's. Bills come due - and this is how we are paying the bill for ignoring Afghanistan [where Pakisatan set up the Taliban] (except for a few cruise missles) and Pakistan in the 90's.

Yes its ugly, but its what we have to do, at least for now.
