MacKay Visits Afghanistan and Pakistan
Topic: January 9, 2007

"Peter, it's Stephen, how's the trip?"
"Great. It's hot here though."
"I heard there was a missile fired at the base the day your plane was to take off."
"Yeah, we couldn't have timed it any better."
"I thought it was very well timed. We'll have to thank our friends for that one. It made you look like James Caan."
"Too bad they didn't have a potato farm for me to look weepy and wistful in. Be that as it may, I was able to get several more solider pics in the extra time the "attack" gave us."
"Stay the course, adapt, overcome. Every photo-op mission you go out on is important. I'm very proud of your successes so far."
"Did you know there's a Tim Horton's out there?"
"That's where I bought my travel mug."
"Darn! I picked one up for you as a souvenir. Oh well, I'll send it to Condie instead. Too bad she wasn't along. Talk about your perfect photo-op."
"Enough of Afghanistan. How was Pakistan?"
"Not bad. The food was really good. They made an excellent curried chicken and rice dish at the hotel I was staying in... Darn! I forgot to get the recipe."
"Don't worry about that. We'll get it for you. There are more trips in the planning stage. Tell me some good news."
"I got my picture taken with their new Prime Minister and his Foreign Affairs Minister, you know whats-his-name... and oh yeah, lots of soldier pics too."
"Exxxxxxcelllllllent."
