Musharraf, whose support for the US-led invasion of Afghanistan was instrumental in the fall of the hardline Taliban regime after the September 11, 2001 attacks, said the threat came from former deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage. "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 with the 60 minutes investigative news programme to be broadcast Sunday. I'm surprised something so blunt and threatening was said but it's hard for me to say that it was wrong too considering it would of been partially true. Thoughts?

Someone needs to get arrested here.
Quote:Someone needs to get arrested here. What for threatening Pakistan?
I believe so.
Quote:I believe so. I don't see how or why they would arrest Armitage for threatening Pakistan which was more like a forewarning.
Ah, I guess I don't see any reason why they should either. I gave it some deep thought.

Doesn't surprise me really that something like this was said. We needed their land and warned them what could happen.
