/Chuckle, this is not a frat boy's date with a hot chick, this is for the first time US is having to deal with a Country's PM whose previous masters use to accept terms with a smile ( either elbows on the table or just simple bent over. ) In the past US dictated term and Pak accepted, what is wrong with picture that the role is reversed in this one ?

Ever watched the move 'The Right Stuff' ? love the part where L B Johnson is parked outside in his car and throwing a fit cause 'John Glen's' wife ( if memory serves me right ) is refusing to meet him. This is what it started to reminds me off, 'hell this is going to be one long 3-1/2 years.'

Well, this particular story is going to be be very interesting, to say the least. Who is bent over by whom, and just how far, remains to be seen, for now.
