Musharraf to Paula Zahn, 'the world is more dangerous because of Iraq war

[spanone]

Gee Didn't our pResident tell us we were safer? Kerry is gonna kick his ass.

[flordehinojos]

1. G O O D!!! some people are f i n a l l y telling the t r u t h!

[Kierkegaard]

4. A LOT of people have been telling the truth. Even a few repubs.

The media just hasn't gotten around to reporting it yet...

[USA_1]

28. media reporting ...

Please permit me to correct you: it's the controlled Orwellian American news media that has not gotten around to reporting it.

If you watch BBC every night you would get a FAR different picture.

[Carla in Ca]

12. As Freddy would say...

Another one bites the dust.

[against all enemies]

2. Musharraf is a terrorist, if he said that.

You are either with us or against us. I bet Pakistan is more unsafe for General Musharraf, thanks to Bush's little war.

[BootinUp]

10. Yep, he's a terrorist now, used to be a statesman.

For some reason Musharraf is pissed at Georgy.

[A_Possum]

3. If anyone is in a position to have a clue about terrorism

it's Musharraf.

[Gloria]

5. Musharraf must be chafing under all that pressure to produce big

name terrorists...and the fact that our army is marching around the Afghan-Pakistani border..........

[AlCzervik]

6. This is the same one thats running Pakistan right?

[4MoreYearsOfHell]

7. yep

the same...nucular weapons and all...

[AlCzervik]

9. hmmmm, does he fly on small planes?

[spanone]

13. He's our 'friendly' Military Dictator who has Atomic Weapons

And occasionally threatens India with them

[Carolinian]

8. I wonder if it wouldn't be wise to try to refrain from using the word

"terror" or "terrorists". These words are too broad and don't define our enemies. Each group using extreme tactics has a name. Why don't we try to call them by their name? Have you noticed how * never uses Kerry's name - just refers to him as "my opponent". This dehumanizes him - doesn't give him a face. The word "terrorists" does the same thing.

[Kimber Scott]

19. Terrorists are inhumane.

nt

[Carolinian]

24. Yes, but Iraqis aren't. Letting Bush just say "terrorists" gives him a

license to go after anybody. This is a major misunderstanding of the war in Iraq, one that John Edwards has been trying to draw the line on. The war in Iraq is not about terrorism. Colin Powell admitted that. Yet most people think that's why we're there.

[Kimber Scott]

26. I understand what you'e saying. The "war on terror" is seperate from

the war in Iraq. What I'm saying is a terrorist is as a terrorist does. Their nationality is not the issue. If an Iraqi saws an innocent man's head off with a kitchen knife he's as much a terrosist as the guy, or girl, who blows up school children. And... motivation is not an excuse.

[Carolinian]

27. Right. The US could also be defined as terrorists, but I won't go there.

[Kimber Scott]

29. A terrorist is as a terrorist does.

[Auntie Bush]

21. He doesn't mention Osama either. He's so stupid he

thinks if he doesn't acknowledge someone they don't exist. Wait till after Nov. 2nd...he's in for a big surprise.

[sundancekid]

11. another "coalition" member bites the dust, errr... the truth to the world

is priceless at this moment ...

[rullery]

14. Musharraf put his life on the line to support Bush and us.

Given the sentiment in Pakistan that is widely anti-American, he was surprisingly bold in allying himself with us. Indeed there have been attempts to assassinate him. While Musharraf is not the champion of democracy that we might prefer, he is probably the best that we can expect from such an unstable country. I have no doubt that he is pissed at Bush for moving the attention to Iraq, and leaving Afghanistan and Pakistan in the lurch. I suspect that Hamid Karzai is similarly pissed at Bush. They should be!

[Cha]

15. If he's supporting bush then he isn't

supporting me.

[spanone]

16. Bush* gave Pakistan the green light on their Atomic weapons program.

He lifted the ban on Pakistan nuclear testing. I think the same reasoning would also apply to Saddam Hussein. Not the champion of democracy but the best we could expect from such an unstable country.


snip> Pakistan continues to increase its nuclear weapon capability, and to import the necessary dual-use equipment and materials. The country is now estimated to possess an arsenal of 30-50 nuclear weapons and plans to increase its nuclear facilities with foreign assistance. In March 2003, Pakistan signed a Memorandum of Understanding with China for a second 300 MW power reactor at Chashma. Pakistan also relies on foreign support in developing its weapon delivery systems. It has nuclear-capable aircraft and is improving its ballistic missile program with the assistance of Chinese and North Korean entities

17. careful now mushie, or bush will cat stevens your ass

figuring musharrif has been shot at, bombed at, and just about everything else at to kill him, he knows a little better than bush as to the increased danger to the world the bush invasion of iraq has caused.

[Kimber Scott]

18. He obviously didn't get the memo.

nt

[johnnyrocket]

20. Uhh, Musharraf is a coup leader, and a military 'tyrant'...

You know, Bush looks up to him, as a role model.

[shivaji]

22. Pakistan's Nukes are one bullet away to Mush's head from falling

in the hands of the jihadi's. That's when the real
fireworks will begin. Pray for Musharraf's safety.

[zulchzulu]

23. GOP talking points: Musharraf is a pedophile, Arab Enemy, kitty beheader

ROVE ALERT!!!!

Musharraf MUST BE DESTROYED!!!!!!

Call Rush! Call Hannity! Call O'Reill...., fuck him... Call CNN!!!

[mzmolly]

25. So in essence we are "less safe" because of the capture of Saddam.

*sigh*

I can only hope the stupid American public gets a clue so this mad man is removed from office. He'll mess up the world something good if he gets re-selected.
