Unless they are Christians.
Isn't it Pakistani Muslims calling for the Pope to step down?
This method has been effective throughout history....talking eventually leads us to the use of fear everytime...
Promises ,Promises
They are trying to give moral equivalence between our free elections and dictatorships. Disgusting!
This ought to be good for Bush's ratings. He got what he wanted with threats.
Right on, my sentiments exactly!!!!
Hey there, Haven't read anything from you in a while. When I was new on here, I remember you wrote that you weren't going to post anymore. I'm glad that you changed your mind.
Armitage, not Bush, supposedly made the threat.
They have nuclear weapons (from stolen technology). They are developing, but they are not Stone Age level.
See comment 49.
Good analysis. Basically Musharraf is trying to preempt the pressure he is likely to get in today's meeting at the Whitehouse. Last night Karzai was speaking in New York where he said that he gave Mullah Omar's precise location in Pakistan and yet Musharraf will not arrest him.
I don't think to much of Powell or Armitage. They are wannabe's. I think President Bush is a very good man who will do what he can, when he can, to protect this country. I also think he is one ruthless, SOB and that is why so many Republicans cannot stand him. I think they believed him to be some nitwit strolling around on the Bush name. I think they got him confused with Neil Bush. I think those who took him for granted and got cut off at the knees are Pat Buchanan, McCainiac, Alan Keyes, and others of thier ilk.
Good to have you back, MadIvan!
Not a very far trip.
Feeeelings, whoa, whoa, whoa, feeeeelings... I'm sick to death of their feelings!
FR is a better place because Ivan returned....his posts are appreciated.
I'll have to pay good attention then, thank you.
Nice to see Richard Armitage in the news again. Just when he thought everyone forgot him he is reborn like a phoenix from the ashes by the Plame affair and Pervez affair. Literally appearing this time as the proverbial loose cannon.
Too bad we won't do it. We know it, and what's worse, they know it.
You hardly have to read a story like this, about the US making crude threats on Pakistan, to know who's behind it. You can just roll the idea between your fingers a minute, and it takes the form of Richard Armitage.
And how clever of him to do it in a compact, quotable string of 14 words! How media=friendly!
