According to the NYTs, President Bush called up President Musharraf, and urged him to, "Take off your uniform," and step down as head of the military. He also said to Musharaff,
"You can't be president and head of the military at the same time."
Now I think I know what Bush is trying to say, but if there weren't a writers strike, I am sure the Colbert Report or Daily Show would snatch that gem up.

But there is some kind of difference between being president and head of the military. Just don't ask me to explain it.

Bush has a point. Imagine if someone were to suggest that the US President should be the commander in chief of the US armed forces. There'd be riots in the streets!

I get the song. I don't get why it got played 3 times an hour and everyone thought it was totally awesome. In the city where the riots took place.
I was in 5th grade during the Riots. I remember children crying because they were afraid their mommy or daddy was going to get shot going to work.

Musharaff has already declared that he will hold elections in February and will give up his uniform when he assumes his new term as president. If you can find today's copy of the NYTs it's right there on the front page.
