Have you ever seen or heard about a leader who will obey you when you threaten him? Suppose you are a head of state, and face the same situation which the most coward Pakistani president experienced, what will be your strategy? Will you make your state the 52nd state of United States? This guy did it. He gave the right of “apprehending” and “bombing” “terrorists” in his own area to the US.

US threatened to bomb Pakistan after 9/11: Musharraf says he acted responsibly
NEW YORK, Sept 21: The United States threatened to bomb Pakistan “back to the stone age” unless it cooperated in the US-led war on terror, President Pervez Musharraf said in an interview released on Thursday.
Gen Musharraf, whose support for the US-led invasion of Afghanistan was instrumental in the fall of the hardline Taliban regime after the Sept 11, 2001 attacks, said the threat came from former deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage.
“The intelligence director told me that (Armitage) said, ‘Be prepared to be bombed. Be prepared to go back to the Stone Age’,” Musharraf said in the interview with the ‘60 minutes’ investigative news programme to be broadcast on Sunday.
Musharraf says the threat was delivered to his intelligence director, according to selected transcripts of the interview released by the CBS television network.
“I think it was a very rude remark,” Musharraf says in the interview. “One has to think and take actions in the interests of the nation, and that’s what I did.”—AFP
