WASHINGTON (AP) President Bush, personally intervening in the political crisis in Pakistan, told President Pervez Musharraf on Wednesday he must hold parliamentary elections soon and step down as army leader.

"You can't be the president and the head of the military at the same time," Bush said, describing a 20-minute telephone call with Musharraf. "I had a very frank discussion with him."



now...i ask you...isn't that part of *being* the president? isn't the president the head of the military services? am i wrong? i mean i realize that i'm not the most schooled person in the world, but at least that's *one* thing that i remember! i mean...we can't go to war unless he says go, right?

that's it...i'm moving to canadia. [livejournal.com profile] sarahemmy i hope you have room on your floor until i can find an apartment of my own.
