#2 But the Army didn't bother to buy up President General Dr. Pervez Musharref'd book? (He must be a Dr. -- a PhD is required for all national level politicians over there for some reason.) How insulting!

'Make Mullah Omar Hondas brand ambassador'

New Delhi

After Taliban leader Mullah Omar escaped from advancing US forces on a Honda motorcycle, Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf jokingly advised the Japanese Prime Minister that the terrorist should be made a brand ambassador for the automobile major. In his book In the Line of Fire: A Memoir, Musharraf said the US started massive carpet-bombing of Afghanistan on October 7, 2001 and the Northern Alliance simultaneously launched a land offensive. This led to Taliban cadres fleeing from Afghanistan into the mountains. In the first week of Dec 2001, Mullah Omar, sensing defeat, escaped on a Honda motorcyle and went into hiding, Musharraf writes. Once when Japanese PM Koizumi asked me about the whereabouts of Mullah Omar, I told him that Omar had escaped on a Honda motorcyle, says Musharraf. He then suggested that the best advertisement for Honda would be an ad campaign showing Mullah Omar fleeing on one of its motorcyles.
