So what is the difference between us and a nation that is, um... evil? We're going to bomb Pakistan back to the stone age if they don't cooperate? You've got to be kidding me. I'm embarrassed when I hear stuff like this. We're not the good guys.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan says the United States threatened to bomb his country back to the Stone Age after the 9/11 attacks if he did not help America's war on terror.Musharraf says the threat was delivered by Richard Armitage, then the deputy secretary of state, to Musharraf's intelligence director, the Pakistani leader told CBS-TV's "60 Minutes."
"The intelligence director told me that (Armitage) said, 'Be prepared to be bombed. Be prepared to go back to the Stone Age,' " Musharraf said in the interview to be shown Sunday on the CBS television network.
It was insulting, Musharraf said. "I think it was a very rude remark," he told reporter Steve Kroft.
But, Musharraf said he reacted responsibly. "One has to think and take actions in the interests of the nation and that is what I did," he said.
The White House and State Department declined to comment on the conversation.
>So what is the difference between us and a nation that is, um... evil?
Intentions.
We
'rewere going to bomb Pakistan back to the stone age if theydon'tdidn't cooperate.there...fixed it for ya ;)

I was paraphrasing what Musharraf said he was told, but fair enough.
I think most of the really great evil war mongers believed that they had good intentions.

Well, Pakistan was largely responsible for putting and keeping the Taliban in power - in the ISI's case through active support and in Musharref and other's case, through ignoring the ISI's actions. I don't think it was an unreasonable threat. Without Pakistan's cooperation, we'd effectively have been fighting a proxy war with Pakistan.
Posted by: A Curious Stranger | September 22, 2006 at 09:22 AM
I don't remember Pakistan playing much of a role in us fighting the Taliban. I remember some lip service but that is about it.
We contributed quite a bit to putting the Taliban in power as well.
Posted by: Non-Prophet | September 22, 2006 at 09:44 AM
They had a lot more going on w/ the Taliban than anyone else. They were one of only 3 countries who recognized the Islamic Taliban government. They're the ones who went to the Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammed Omar in Kandahar in 2001 to deliver the message(threat) to hand in OBL or be bombed by US led forces.
Posted by: pete | September 22, 2006 at 10:28 AM
The Clinton admin. thought that the Taliban was a temporary thing and so did Pakistan. The old king was supposed to return. We provided lots of $$ and Pakistan provided lots of fundamentalists. I think we saw them as favorable to the Nothern Alliance and I remember something about a big gas pipeline deal being behind our interest in the first place. So typical.
I guess what really bothers me about this is that when we have allies based on nipple twisting and pay-offs they're really just lying in wait to screw us.
Posted by: Non-Prophet | September 22, 2006 at 11:40 AM
US involvment with the anti-soviet muhahadeen was directed through Pakistan's ISI. The Taliban would not have been running Afghanistan without the ISI's active patronage.
And of course Pakistan is waiting to screw us. That's why we needed to twist their nipples. They needed a bit of bullying to get in line because we couldn't do it - what little we did given the current situation over there - without their support.

Incidentally, this whole story is a "throwing under the bus" of Plame leaker Richard Armitage. Bush was shocked, shocked! when he heard about it.

Dude, what up? Sooner or later the FBI is gonna come calling on your ass wondering how little Springs based Nonprophet became a tool of the Pakistani secret police. Oh wait ... or is ISI our government's friend? It's so hard to keep track of what brutal regimes are "with us" and which are "against us".

I find this flag very interesting. Here a nations flag with a Cresant Moon and a Star. The cresant moon is a pagan symbol of the moon god. The Star represents the worship of astrology. When this group worships by fasting, it begins and ends with the cresant moon. Looks like we are dealing with pagan here.

I wonder how these people think they are going to get ISI recruited from this blog here. Why don't people contact ISI directly if they want to join. Whatever the ef the ISI is. And why don't people do it in their own language, whatever that may be. I would think you would get more attention from the CIA than the ISI since your advertising on an English site, in English. You might even draw attention from the KGB.
We all live in different Worlds. Don't we. Or we live in our own little World, as little as that might be.
Posted by: Melanie | March 28, 2009 at 07:22 PM
At first I thought as you that the Us (as in us) was taking to hard of a line on these people. Then after reading that a number of its citizen's are eager to join a subversive organization to murder and terriorize other people. I Now think that the actions needed to be taken by the us, need to be even harder. What I think is even more frightening is that these people could possibly be living and working in the US of A. They seem to know English very well, gives me reason to believe that they are living with us.
This is what one Zeeshan Haider wrote on Jan 10, 2009:
I think he was smart enough to give his real email address, and real name (not). Except that I think his first name is Mohanneb, middle name is Zeehan, last name is Haider. Everyone in his country has the same first name (Initial M.) so they go by their middle name. Now the reason why I spelled his first name wrong was; If you evoke the name of Damin (Satan), in he comes. So in he came. He googled "Pakiztan", so he found this site. Now Pakiztan, kind of looks the same, but when you google it is not an exact match. So if you what to talk about these countries you could change one letter. By doing this you could avoid recuits to subversive organizations coming in here and giving me the creeps. And I think other people like (aaa) are creeped out as well besides me. Except he had a different way of saying it.
As Always, Melanie

Ah Melanie. Still dropping the acid I see. ;)
ISI is a Pakistani government intelligence agency (Inter-Services Intelligence = ISI). These days with Bhutto's widower in the President's chair ISI might well be the CIA's friend. It's no al Qaeda. That is unless you're one of those conspiracy theorists who believe that al Qaeda is actually a contrivance of the CIA & ISI. But I digress... LOL.
Posted by: Zen | March 31, 2009 at 10:04 PM
Hi, Zennnnnnnnnnie,
I am glad you haven't forgotten me. Some people are just more memoriable than others. Like me. I was thinking about you this morning. I was wondering what you look like. Now we all know what Suesun looks like, her pic has been up here long after the election results came in last year.
I think non-prophet should put a Zennie pic in Suesuns place. What do you think?
As Always, Melanie
PS.(I am going to take a look at the link you left above, (conspiracy theorists believe that al Qaeda is actually . . . . . . .) I just love conspiracy theories.

Zen looks like the tree in your front yard. What more do you need to know?
Posted by: Zen | April 03, 2009 at 01:21 AM
Hi Zen,
The tree in my front yard is a pine tree. There are two pine trees in my front yard. There were four pine trees in my front yard. Two have died in the past few year because of what the gardeners did. When they planted the trees they did not remove the burlape bags around the root bags. As the trees grew the bags choked the trees to death because the bags did not rot away.
Last year a man from the tree company came out and cut the bags so the remaining trees wouldn't die. I also have a number of pines in the back yard that he checked on. After he left he did not clean up the mess he made digging around the roots of the trees. I aways have to clean up after the workers here.
So, Zenn baby, are you telling me you are a sick pine tree.
This is what I think you look like. I think you are about 5 feet 8 inches tall. You have brown hair with a slight wave. Dark green eyes and a small nose. You have either a round or square face. You don't have a beard and keep a close shave, except on weekends. Overall I think you are nice looking.
So, how close was I?
As always, Melanie
P. S. (Dad said he was like the potted pland on my deck, Zen is like the tree in my front yard. That's funny. If that was a joke Zen, I got it. )

I think Salman Khan is a liar. His real name is Dave and he works for the Cia. Really, why would someone from Pakiztan write in English to recuit to a subversive or legitmate organization. If he wanted to talk to Pakiztanies, or join the ISI, why not talk in his own language, on a Pakiztanie site? He is on a US site talking in English. Really why would anyone who is English give a FRK about Dave or his problems. He is here just to creep you out or to loure in other Terriotists. Right Dave?
Salman Khan or IBRAHIM JAVED GUJJAR is nothing but a lair. I think he is really good at pretending to be a Pakiztania.
Gods Messenger, Melanie
PS (If you want to speak of love for Pakiztan. Go to a Pakiztan site and talk in your own langauge. English don't care about your problems. Or go seek out some mental health services if you need some help. See if you can find some Pakiztanie help services. Really I care about your health. Sincerely, Get HELP)
