Pak-based militants may attack US: Bush
Source: The Times of India

WASHINGTON: President George W Bush believes another 9/11 attack on the United Sates should be considered a reality, and warned that such an attack could originate from Pakistan.

Stating this in an interview to a news channel, Bush said: "If another September 11 style attack is being planned, it probably is being plotted in Pakistan, and not Afghanistan."

Tihs is outrageous. Telling India that Pakistan will be as heinous as the Bush Administration.

4. What do Iraq and Iran have that Pakistan doesn't?
Not the Taliban.
Not Osama bin Laden.
Not "Nukular" Weapons.

(Hint: It's a 3 letter word that starts with an "O" and ends with an "L" and has an "I" in the middle.)

5. pResident says attack plans being made in Pakistan. Mentions no action to attack Pakistan sites.
"Bush said if the terrorists were planning such attacks, they would be routed out.

"We've got plenty of firepower to take on Al-Qaida cells in Afghanistan," he said, although more US and NATO troops are headed to Afghanistan. "


Does he think Pakistan is INSIDE Afghanistan? WTF?

6. Does that mean Pakistan is no longer with us?
Because in the Manicheaen dialectic that is George W. Bush's world, that can mean only one thing. Unfortunately for Mr. Bush he no longer has the discretionary military power at his disposal to launch pre-emptive wars everywhere he sees a world trouble spot that scares him so much he wets himself.

I sure hope nobody has the bad taste to bring this interview up stateside and ask Mr. Bush what he intends to do about this existential threat to our star-spangled all-American way of life.

7. I wonder what Mr. Musharraf thinks
of this. He's repeatedly said, "US stay out of Pakistan". I believe we have a few thousand "trainers" or paramilitaries in that country.

Our REAL enemies

1. Pakistan

2. Saudi Arabia

9. Is that a warning - or a promise?
Smells like a Bush "legacy" project to me.
