Pakistani, Iranian leaders agree to expedite gas pipeline project
2006-04-23
ISLAMABAD - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his Pakistani counterpart held talks on Saturday to speed up work on a proposed pipeline to transport Iranian gas to Pakistan and India, the Foreign Ministry said.

President Gen. Pervez Musharraf and Ahmadinejad held the discussion by telephone, the ministry said in a statement. It didn’t specify who initiated the call, or say whether the two also discussed the ongoing controversy over Iran’s nuclear program. “The two leaders agreed that the experts of all sides should be asked to expedite the work on the pipeline project,” the ministry statement said.
"C'mon, Perv, hurry the hell up before the Merkins flatten us!"
Iran proposed the project in 1996 but it hasnÂ’t gotten off the ground mainly because of IndiaÂ’s concern for the safety of the pipeline passing through Pakistan, its archrival. In recent months officials from Iran, Pakistan and India have held talks about various aspects of the proposed project, despite U.S. opposition.
