God-Bless-Our-Allies Watch

God bless our allies! Allies like Pakistan, who stands with us as a beacon of democracy against the terrorists! Allies like General Musharraf, who has sworn that although he took power in a military coup, he loves democracy and will do anything to protect it! Well, maybe not so much.

On November 3, “the Moosh,” as President Boosh likes to call him, declared martial law and suspended the Pakistani Constitution. He shut down the radio and television stations. He put his political opponents under house arrest. Blaming the judiciary for hampering the battle against terrorists, he disbanded Pakistan’s Supreme Court -- which was about to rule whether his win in the recent election was legal -- and put judges loyal to him in the replacement court.

The Moosh also amended an Army law so that civilians can be charged in courts martial. He has also declared that martial law will continue indefinitely, likely until after the “fair-and-free” elections sometime in the future.

The Moosh has declared that as soon as the new Supreme Court -- the one he installed and filled with his own lackeys -- validates his victory and declares him President, he is more than willing to restore democracy and become President.

“I had to take a drastic step to save the democratic process,” the Moosh proclaimed. Yes --- he had to destroy democracy in order to save it.

And where is OUR fearless leader, denouncing Musharraf for suspending of Pakistan’s Constitution, denouncing the bunch of lackeys appointed to a fake Supreme Court, and calling for all Pakistanis to rise up against the dictator so that Pakistan can become a democracy??? Pretty damn silent is where. A few press conferences, a single phone call to the Moosh, expressing support, and that’s about it…

So much for supporting Democracy and Freedom in the Middle East! You see, we only support democracy when it is convenient... And right now, it's not so convenient.
