Musharraf has again demonstrated why he’s the only one-man film industry in Pakistan.

Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf, arriving in Kabul today for a two-day trip, told his counterpart Hamid Karzai the two countries must join forces to fight the “common enemy’’ of terrorism being fanned by al-Qaeda and Taliban. Musharraf also said Pakistan would never allow US-led coalition forces into tribal areas on its side. “On our side of the border there will be a total uprising if a foreigner enters that area,’’ he said at a joint news conference with Afghan President Hamid Karzai. “It’s not possible at all. We will never allow any foreigners into that area. It’s against the culture of the people there.’’

Bin Laden and company must be proud of their Man Friday sweating it out so, throwing yet another crumb of bread to the US. The Acorn has more.

Postscript: It is simply a bonus that this tactic has for the moment, deflected attention from his recent Balochistan blunder.
