TPMtv: The Devil You Know
Zunes, from Foreign Policy In Focus, writes: "In his 2005 inaugural address, President George W. Bush declared that the United States would support democratic movements around the world and work to end tyranny. Furthermore, he pledged to those struggling for freedom that the United States would 'not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors.' Despite these promises, the Bush administration - with the apparent acquiescence of the Democratic-controlled Congress - has instead decided to continue U.S. support for the dictatorship of General Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan's president."
