ASK ROSCOE: What the eh?

ROSCOE News Alert

For what it's worth, the Pakistan government is now denying this report:

Dear Roscoe:

What do you make of the report that Osama bin Laden has cut a deal with Pakistan to be left alone in the north country if he keeps his nose clean? Doesn’t that mean that the Taliban and al Qaeda have won? Sounds like the Bush & Rumsfeld chickenhawks have blown yet another one, eh?

Dear N.:

You’re apparently referring to this ABC News report that Pakistan is withdrawing troops from the tribal region of Waziristan, along the border with Afghanistan. Yes, it would look as if the terrorists have won a round, but keep your powder dry. Looks can be deceiving.

Who knows how this might play out, eh? Assuming it’s all true. Maybe it will become an independent state, with a new name like Talibanistan or Binladistan. Maybe the United Nations will take care of the problem, just as handily as it’s taking care of the Hezbollistan (a.k.a. southern Lebanon) and Iranian nuclear problems. Or maybe (heh, heh) this will be provide opportunity for the Zionist crusader missionary forces of the U.S. to do a little Orkin exterminating without unnecssarily embarrassing our Pakistani ally. In fact, maybe that's the real deal...

You just never know. Heck, Canada has forces in the vicinity. Maybe they’ll take of it.

And another thing N.: Southern man don’t need you around, anyhow.
