Summary In Brussels, Hillary Clinton said US had no reason to speculate about Zardari's condition.
The US Secretary of State expected him to be able to return to work in full health.She was responding to reporters when asked about the possibility Zardari might be in the process of being pushed out for political reasons.The information that ... we have is that he has sought medical treatment for a number of medical challenges and we wish him a speedy recovery and certainly we expect that...he will receive the treatment he is seeking and ... then be able to return in full health to his duties, she said.Doctors overheard by a Reuters reporter in the hospital where Zardari is being treated, said the president had a fever and was being treated with antibiotics.An official from Zardaris Pakistan Peoples Party said Zardari likely had a reaction to medications that aggravated a pre-existing cardiovascular condition.The official ruled out the possibility that Zardari would resign and laughed off speculation that the military was trying to push Zardari out because of the memo issue.Zardari, who has grown steadily unpopular since taking office in 2008, is looking more politically fragile after what has been dubbed memogate.Hillary is in Brussels for talks with Russian officials over the missile shield for Europe.
