This just proves whoever made the comments was not good for the job. Nobody says that to another country. Especially a country with nuclear weapons.

Their nukes can't hit us, and I don't think they would use them, or risk annihilation by us or India.

But this is pretty revealing, OBL is there and Musharref knows it. This does a lot to explain his half-assed attempts at helping us.

I wonder if they could nuke the crap out of israel that would be exciting wouldn't it???

Frankly I could care less, if Jerusalem was nuked maybe then everyone could stop fighting over it. I don't appreciate my tax money being spent and the good name of my country being ruined for Israel. It's not our responsibility, they are more than capable of taking care of themselves, despite what the Israel Lobby tells our congressmen.

Just look at your leader Bush...... How much more wrong do you need to be? It's so F'ed up over there. Do you think they would be blowing up it's citizens and in the middle of a civil war if the USA had not stepped in?

Can you see the forest through the trees or are you really that blind? Crap, you'd be lucky to get running water and power. We have turned Iraq into a zoo. Democracy at it's finest...

Please Prove me Wrong... How is Iraq any better before we bombed the crap out of em?

WTF are you talking about? I asked him to prove me wrong concerning the number of deaths caused by the escalation of terrorist activities. Whether or not Iraq has been turned into a zoo due to the actions of the United States is another issue. So please, don?t dance around my statement with your bandwagon Bush hating and America is evil crap. And to answer your question, I?m sure there are plenty of Iraqis that will agree the region is a lot better without Saddam in power.

What ones are you talking about the Dead ones? Yeah they are really better off huh?

Can you take off your bind fold now?

No, I?m talking about the living ones. And believe me, I have no blindfold on. Since you seem to think Iraq was wonderful when Saddam was in power, answer one question for me.

How would leaving Saddam and his sons in power be beneficial to the populous of Iraq?

I would really like to see an answer to this as well...unfortunately I dont think there is one...

I think many here have forgotten the days right after September 11, 2001. It was clear action was needed in Afghanistan and for all purposes it was on the far side of the world logistically. It looked like we would have to tackle Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan all at the same time and fight through the untold hordes that awaited us when we got there in brutal ground combat. Bush deserves credit for having the fortitude to do what had to be done. Sometimes a bluff is needed or maybe it wasn't.

What REALLY happened:

Bush: Mushy, if you help me get those no good evil doers, I'll let you retire in the US and sell your books. If not, I'll revoke any chance you have of moving out of Pakistan.
Mushy: Ok how high should I jump?

Now who is the terrorist?

US department of defense
Terrorism is defined by the US Department of Defense as "the unlawful use of -- or threatened use of -- force or violence against individuals or property to coerce or intimidate governments or societies, often to achieve political, religious, or ideological objectives."

So what you would have me believe is that the bush administration threatened a country which posesses nuclear arms, with a statement of we will bomb you back to the stoneage?

You see what you have here Green Bean is a ruler who is trying to do the responsable thing but knows he has a lot of anti-american sentiment in his country. therefore he talks out of both sides of his mouth to keep the other lil green beans happy.
