As Bush rests at Camp David, thousands of angry Pakistanis burn his effigy
I wonder if Junior's handlers will put this story on his "Week In Review" DVD?

INAYAT QALA, Pakistan - Thousands of angry Pakistanis protested Sunday against a U.S. airstrike that killed civilians, chanting "Long live Osama bin Laden!" as anti-American rallies in the country entered their second week.

About 5,000 demonstrators assembled on a dry riverbed in a mountain market town near the site of the Jan. 13 attack. Shouting pro-bin Laden, anti-American slogans, they burned effigies of U.S. President George W. Bush.

The rally was the latest in a series of protests over the missile strike on the village of Damadola, near the border, which was believed to have targeted but missed al-Qaida's No. 2 leader, Ayman al-Zawahri.

On Saturday, Pakistan President Gen. Pervez Musharraf told the United States it cannot repeat such attacks, while Foreign Minister Khursheed Kasuri called the assault "counterproductive" given the "prevailing public sentiment." Musharraf told visiting U.S. Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns that it "must not be repeated," a Foreign Ministry official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity due to policy.
