Musharaff Bites the Hand

President Pervez Musharaff claimed today that the Bush administration had told him that the U. S. would bomb Pakistan "back to the stone age" if he didn't cooperate with us in the war on terror.

Of course, Musharaff's public announcement of that threat is tantamount to a declaration of independence from the Bush administration.

No doubt Musharaff sees the Bush administration as weak and wants to give them the back of his hand.

But he should have gotten in line with the rest of our former allies.
