America said that it would bomb Pakistan back to the stone age...?

Question

just how many bombs would that take?

Answer 1

religion becomes anti-civil liberty & civilized achevements, when it used as a political tool?

political islam was a product of the cold war era, they were shaped and supported by NATO and USA.
They first came to power in iran then in Afghanistan and you know the rest.

they already destroyed civilization achevements in iran and Afghanistan and now they are threatening western civilization,,, wait to see more from them,,,,

Answer 2

I don't think anyone in the US government said that. Extremists on both sides comb the news services and papers for outrageous, incendiary statements, and it's likely that this is just another example.

I suggest you read Charles Krauthammer's column today about what Muslims have said. His view is very unbalanced, of course, but the selective quotes from Muslim rabble rousers are probably accurate.

Answer 3

America said no such thing. The US government indicated they would conduct military exercises in Pakistan to get terrorist cells if there was solid intelligence. This was said to appease critics of the "war on terror" who believe Osma is hiding in Pakistan.
Both Bush and Chaney have repeatedly voiced their support of Pakistan's sovereignty/ people/ government/president and people.

Answer 4

not much id guess, they live a lot in poverty which is so sad.
it is a shame that the us want to bomb everyone rather than using the power that they have to try and help people.

Answer 5

One very,very big, big one. But to be fair, they are nearer the Stone Age than we are in the civilised West

Answer 6

it would have taken quite a few but don't expect the Pakistanis not to fight back.

Galloway vs. The US Senate: Transcript of Statement
"Now, Senator, I gave my heart and soul to oppose the policy that you promoted. I gave my political life's blood to try to stop the mass killing of Iraqis by the sanctions on Iraq which killed one million Iraqis, most of them children, most of them died before they even knew that they were Iraqis, but they died for no other reason other than that they were Iraqis with the misfortune to born at that time. I gave my heart and soul to stop you committing the disaster that you did commit in invading Iraq. And I told the world that your case for the war was a pack of lies.

“I told the world that Iraq, contrary to your claims did not have weapons of mass destruction. I told the world, contrary to your claims, that Iraq had no connection to al-Qaeda. I told the world, contrary to your claims, that Iraq had no connection to the atrocity on 9/11 2001. I told the world, contrary to your claims, that the Iraqi people would resist a British and American invasion of their country and that the fall of Baghdad would not be the beginning of the end, but merely the end of the beginning.

"Senator, in everything I said about Iraq, I turned out to be right and you turned out to be wrong and 100,000 people paid with their lives; 1600 of them American soldiers sent to their deaths on a pack of lies; 15,000 of them wounded, many of them disabled forever on a pack of lies.

If the world had listened to Kofi Annan, whose dismissal you demanded, if the world had listened to President Chirac who you want to paint as some kind of corrupt traitor, if the world had listened to me and the anti-war movement in Britain, we would not be in the disaster that we are in today. Senator, this is the mother of all smokescreens. You are trying to divert attention from the crimes that you supported, from the theft of billions of dollars of Iraq's wealth.

"Have a look at the real Oil-for-Food scandal. Have a look at the 14 months you were in charge of Baghdad, the first 14 months when $8.8 billion of Iraq's wealth went missing on your watch. Have a look at Halliburton and other American corporations that stole not only Iraq's money, but the money of the American taxpayer.

"Have a look at the oil that you didn't even meter, that you were shipping out of the country and selling, the proceeds of which went who knows where? Have a look at the $800 million you gave to American military commanders to hand out around the country without even counting it or weighing it.

"Have a look at the real scandal breaking in the newspapers today, revealed in the earlier testimony in this committee. That the biggest sanctions busters were not me or Russian politicians or French politicians. The real sanctions busters were your own companies with the connivance of your own Government."
