hey, General, is it safer?

from CNN:

"'I think it's less safe,' Gen. Pervez Musharraf said on CNN's 'Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer.'

Asked whether he considered the invasion a mistake, the Pakistani leader said: 'With hindsight, yes. We have landed ourselves in more trouble, yes.'"

And we thought he was supposed to be an ally. I'm sure if he were standing next to the President on the White House lawn he would be sining a different tune. Of course, a government PR flak later "clarified" General Musharraf's declaration:

After the interview, a Pakistani government spokesman called CNN to say that Musharraf did not intend to be categorical in his assertion that Bush had erred in invading Iraq.

Well in that case, you can still be our ally, Pervez ol' buddy.
