So Much for the Reagan Mantra of "Trust, but Verify": Bush Takes Pervez at His Word
Story link

Bush praised Musharraf for helping the United States hunt for al Qaeda after September 11 and pointed out that the Pakistani leader had taken "positive steps" by saying he would hold elections early next year and give up his military position.

"I take a person for his word until otherwise. I think that's what you have to do," Bush said. "When somebody says this is what they're going to do, then you give them a chance to do it."
********************************************************

The real story?

Bush speechwriters couldn't get him to wrap his mouth around: "Doveryai, no proveryai. Trust, but verify."

1. Bush looked into his eyes and saw his soul, I'm sure, so it's all OK. nt
