And...?
Even if true, I don't care:
"60 Minutes," the CBS weekly newsmagazine, will air an interview with Musharraf on Sunday - as part of the publisher's book promotion. In that interview, according to CBS, Musharraf recounts what his intelligence director told him of a conversation with Richard Armitage, then deputy secretary of state, after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
"The intelligence director told me that (Armitage) said, `Be prepared to be bombed. Be prepared to go back to the Stone Age,'" Musharraf told CBS.
Armitage has acknowledged delivering a strong message to Pakistan - but not that strong.
"There was no military threat, and I was not authorized to do so," Armitage told The Associated Press. "It did not happen," he said, adding that he asked the State Department on Friday to read him a cable of his conversation with the intelligence chief. "There was, in no way, that threat," he said, allowing that "it was a strong, straightforward conversation."
The point has always been their co-operation--unprecedented co-operation for a country in that region. It still is the point...
