Because Pakistan has a lot of terrorists in it.

But that doesn't necessarily implicate Musharraff.

I don't remember "implicating" Mushi...

I merely suggested that his refusal to turn over the snakes identified him as an enabler.

>>State sponsored terrorism

Yup, just like 911. So, they got 3 Bill for helping kill 3000 Americans. If the Pakis help kill a million Americans, will we send them a Trillion?
