Armitage was the administration's poison pellet at the time. Their malware. The ones to worry about are the ones we haven't identified.
Don't they mean "forward" to the Stone Age?
That was my first reaction...a thorough bombing would advance them INTO the stone age.

We need to stop pussy footing around... Insert strike teams.. take out these camps, capture anyone of value.. and extract...
Mushareff cannot take these people out without being assassinated or facing coup, so he will not do so. His government best will put on a show of containment, but nothing more.
The west needs to stop pussy footing around.. .they have declared war on us, and have been for 30 years.. its time to just take it to them, and be done with this nonsense.

USA: "Look, Pakistan, we can't have you harboring international criminals. We don't really trust you to turn them over. We will take action when we can find one."
Pakistan: "This is our country! We are soveriegn! We've got nukes to prove it!"
USA: "You are SO going to regret saying that. Look, it's simple, if you get in our way, we'll remove your nukes, your production facilities, your manufacturing capacity. We'll put you back in the stone age."
Pakistan: "Meany!"
I know a lot of nations who we should bomb back to the Stone Ages plus some Democrat strongholds!
I'll never ever forget Musharrif's "Deer in the Headlights" look during that press conference. Whatever was said to him, he BELIEVED it completely. He's been doing a pretty reasonable job of following through with us, too.
Kudos to any and all of our administration officials who accomplished that feat.
You are exactly correct on that comparison. I remember it too now.
Wonder what Musharrif's motivation is to mention this right now? Money, perhaps....? Placating the Pakistani generals? Stirring up stink?
