"So we enter the picture again."
"What picture?"
"The picture where we become important again!"
"How did we become important again? I mean just because the Chosen One requests the German and Italian investors to come and invest in Pakistan doesn't mean a thing."
"Come and visit me in my house, said the spider to the fly."
"Where did that come from? It's not as if we have been able to lure anybody to come and invest here for the past decade or so. Those who are in don't want to leave but those who are out don't want to come in."
"Yes, I guess but in any case I was referring to our growing importance, with all four London bombers of Pakistan descent."
"Yep so our law enforcement agencies are once again fully co-operating with their British counterparts..."
"Indeed they are. But I wish our law enforcement agencies would sometimes pass on their information to their brothers and sisters sitting in the Foreign Office. I mean it seems to me that our FO is on autopilot with no one providing them with any relevant information."
"Well considering that the Army House is taking all foreign relations decisions, perhaps, we need to disband the FO entirely."
"Good idea. Our FO are the masters of the denial philosophy ie deny everything and if it is accepted, then thank the Lord! Anyway, the FO stated that none of the bombers had visited Pakistan recently. This was in spite of a statement from British intelligence sources that they were co-operating with their Pakistani counterparts and poodle's poodle, Jack Straw's expression of concern over the link of one bomber to a Pakistani Madressah."
"So maybe they are not sure that this one guy was here. One out of four, not bad.
"You are being facetious you are."
