I'm shocked! Shocked, I say, that Bush was able to use the word 'aback' correctly in a sentence!

Bush said "you are either with us or with the terrorists." I think the message was not only clear...everybody got it. What's shocking about this particular comment is that, apparantly, Pakistan 'got it' too. Shocking I say.

From Corrupt News Network (CNN)
Quote:
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush on Friday said he was "taken aback" by a report that a U.S. official threatened the United States would attack Pakistan if it did not help immediately after 9/11.
Bush made the remarks at a White House news conference with Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, thanking the U.S. ally for his role in the war on terror.
The Pakistan president has told CBS News that -- immediately following the September 11, 2001, attacks -- the Bush administration threatened to bomb his country "back to the Stone Age" if Pakistan did not help in the U.S. war on terrorism.
Bush said he first heard of the alleged threat "in the newspaper today." (Watch as Bush says he's unaware of any such conversation -- 1:56)
"I was taken aback by the harshness of the words," he said.
- Huh. A Moron *and* a liar. I think I see how this one turns out, back to the scary red map. I don't know which way it would like to go. If pakistan sides with us, that's good, because we don't get our ass kicked, China is kept in check, etc. OTOH, if they dont side with us, then we *do* get our asses kicked, the war on terror is a big failure, and we have to give up, which would be good for us, and it would mean no one would follow our dumb example. This has been my biggest fear, that after this "pre-emptive war" proved profitable, that China, Russia, and ever tin pot dictator on Earth would then decide to do the same thing. If it proves disasterously bad, no one else will bother, which would be good for Earth. Still, I don't like to see America lose, and don't like to see China gaining ground. Nothing against the Chinese as always, just, you know, commies, cultural obliteration, wholesale slaughter, etc. will ensue. Maybe we should try to draw a line right here and have another cold war.

Apparently when Bush looked Musharraf deep in the eyes and delared him to be a 'friend', Bush didn't see the fear.

Am I the only one terrified by the implications of this blanket statement? By the fact that it's basically the Administration giving itself carte blanch (sp?) to act in whatever manner it deems "necessary" to fight "terrorists"? That the definition of "terrorist" has widened to include foreign regimes that could be a potential threat?
Seriously, someone please tell me how I'm wrong.

It's not just you. Their insane hubris, and the willingness of 51% of us to go along with it, makes Chavez's grandstanding look mundane in comparison.
Our nation is losing its soul. Or selling it. It's depressing as hell.
