President Bush should not just threaten this with some countries - he should execute on it.

Let fear stalk anyone who dares raise their hand to the West.

Ping!

Interesting, Armitage is sure getting a whole lot of press these days.

[beaversmom]

President Musharraf said. “I think it was a very rude remark.”

Oh, did it offend your Muslim sensibilities Mr. Musharraf?

Dickie Armitage supposedly threatened the President of Pakistan, after 9/11; so says the President of Pakistan.

[Just mythoughts]

Another story about Armitage.

Good to see you posting again! Just read this in the Times. It reminded me of a comment made by a sensible woman in Afghanistan the other day. She said it made no sense to bomb Afghanistan and not bomb Pakistan. She wanted liberation and knew that Pakistan funds. fuels, trains and protects the Taliban and other Islamist groups.


Years ago the art of war included cutting off the supply train.

MARK!,MARK!,MARK!...RELEASE! BOMBS AWAY!!!

Armitage is a loose cannon around members of the press, and presidents. I am glad he is gone. He caused a lot of damage for this administration.

But but but ... I thought Dickie was against wars ??

[Lancey Howard]

Wow! Great post! I love some of these quotes.

By my observation no bombing was necessary to put them back into the Stone Age.

[nopardons]

Oh didn't you know...Dickie is all things to all people and an absolute superman! /sarcasm

We should've taken out Iran's Nuke-facilities
while their puppet was speaking at the UN.

Imagine that.

God Bless America,

President Musharraf was clearly angered by Mr Bush’s declaration that the US would act independently of his authority inside Pakistan.

I wonder if he feels the same away about bin Laden acting indepedently of his authority inside Pakistan.

We should've taken out Iran's Nuke-facilities while their puppet was speaking at the UN.

We wouldn't even have had to do it, all we had to do was allow the Israelis to handle it.

We wouldn't even have had to do it, all we had to do was allow the Israelis to handle it.

That's easier said then done .. President Lunatic from Iran has nuke plants spread out all across Iran

He may be crazy .. but he's not stupid .. which makes him even more dangerous

[ferri]

ooooooooh you stole my line. lol actually i was going to say, it would only take maybe one bomb to put them back in the stone age. :-/

[BIGLOOK]

There is something to this story. Shortly before the Afghan campaign, Mushariff went public to the Pakistani, condemning the attacks on the US and disavowing the Taliban. This was broadcast here. While he didn't say who the messenger was, it was clear that Bush had read him the riot act. One statement he made stood out. (paraphrase) "Our very existence depends on our cooperation".

Beats me why he names Armitage as the messenger. The US already had a resident ambassador.
