If Musharaff tells that Bush threatened to bomb Pakistan into stone age

[liberaldemocrat7]

after 9-11 if he would not help get Al Qaeda and the Taliban you can probably say that the notion that the Bush administration threatened to bomb the Taliban into the stone age in July 2001 because they would not go along with the gas and oil pipelines, had more value and appears close to the facts.

Musharaff has given credence to the Bush provocation that Dasquie and Brisard told of in their Book "Forbidden Truth"



In the Bush press conference Bush appears to have lied that he did not realize his administration threatened Pakistan after 9-11 and Musharaff would not say anything until his new book comes out but apparently he will say that on his interview with 60 minutes.

Comments on the Bush provocation of the Taliban before 9-11?

1. Damned straight!

If Bush -- and particularly Cheney -- had not been elected in 2000, then September 11, 2001 would have been just another day.

2. I believe it

I'm starting to accept how truly vile and evil this cabal really is. I think I'd rather be plugged back into the matrix and forget.

3. It's possible

that in the early days of the B*sh administration that the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing.

Maybe Armitage threatened Pakistan not knowing that they were "in", same as pre-911 some agents tried to investigate Saudi links to terrorist funding but were then told to back off.

4. It's sorta one thing to threaten the Taliban

They were and are nogoodniks. What's amusing is threatening them over the oil pipeline. That was always a pipe dream, so to speak. One guy with a high powered rifle could keep it shut down permanently after spending billions to build it. Could the owner really expect to pay off every person in Afghanistan with a good rifle?

Threatening Pakistan is an entirely different order of threat. This is a relatively powerful country with its own nukes. If I was Pervez, I would have said, fine, but say byebye to New Dehli.

5. The pipeline is happening.

The Russians filled the void we left behind. The route has changed, but there's many dollars to be made. errrr... rubles.
