Musharraf: Iraq war a mistake


Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf says the US-led invasion of Iraq has made the world a more dangerous place.

Though an ally of the United States, Musharraf on Friday described the invasion as a mistake and said it had complicated the "war on terror".

"It has ended up bringing more trouble to the world," Musharraf said in a television interview.

"The world is more dangerous because the Iraq war has aroused the passions of the Muslims more," he added.
...............
"We are fighting terrorism in its immediate context. That's not very far-sighted," Musharraf said.

1. More evidence of right-wing media bias

3. You are absolutley correct

I thought about this today. Actually, Kerry should respond to the Bush critisizm of Kerry questioning "an american ally in the war on terror", Alawi.

Kerry should ask Bush what he thinks of our "ally" Musharraf's discription of the Iraq war as a mistake. "By the way, Mr. President, how's that ally's credibility?" should be Kerry's question, and the media will have to pick up on it.
