Bush phones Musharraf

MOUNT VERNON: US President George W. Bush said on Wednesday that he had phoned President Pervez Musharraf to tell him bluntly that he must hold elections as scheduled and quit as army chief.

“I just spoke to President Musharraf before I came here, and my message was very plain, very easy to understand. And that is: The US wants you to have the elections as scheduled and take your uniform off,” he said.—AFP
