#1 That's okay. Maybe the Saudi's can pick up the slack and start another "Allies in the War on Terror" ad campaign...

#2 Cassidy's trying to imply that they have principles. Robin Raphel will now have to move on to that LTTE account

#3 "unmindful of the dictator's falling stock and despite growing doubts about his role and effectiveness in the war on terrorism, the Bush administration continues to support him"
That's left-wing spin for sure. The alternative to doing what the administration has done this week is...

a. Be silent, thus pissing off Perv's detractors even further?
b. Totally abandon Perv without knowing who inherits his sprockets?
c. Vaporize Pakistan's nuclear sites?
d. b and c?

#4 Wakiland is currently the Steward of aprox. 24-48 HEU warheads. http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/pakistan/nuke/index.html
I think there are much worse things that could happen than a state of martial law. The dude is living in a pit of vipers and he probably would like to keep his head and body connected for a while.

#6 You know its bad when even lobbyists desert you. I wonder how big Cassidy and Associates' non-refundable retainer was.

#7 The lobby folks most likely bailed because the check bounced.

And not even they can say the mentioned line to any congressman with a straight face.
