Clarification on Pakistan Bombing Threat
Richard "the Left's not so keen to prosecute the Plame leaker for treason now, are they?" Armitage wants you to know:
Former U.S. diplomat Richard Armitage said Friday that an official document detailing his conversation with President Pervez Musharraf's intelligence chief confirms he did not threaten that Pakistan would be bombed back into the Stone Age should the Pakistani leader refuse to join the U.S. fight against al Qaeda.
Apparently the exact wording of the threat was that the US would "bomb them out of the Stone Age". Small miscommunication there, apologies to everyone.
