Bush 'Taken Aback' by Musharraf Comment
President Bush 'Taken Aback' by Musharraf's Comments That He Was Threatened by U.S.
By DEB RIECHMANN, The Associated Press

WASHINGTON - President Bush President said Friday he was "taken aback" by a purported U.S. threat to bomb Pakistan back to the Stone Age if it did not cooperate in the fight against terrorism after the Sept. 11 attacks. He praised Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf for being one of the first foreign leaders to come out after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to stand with the U.S. to "help root out an enemy."

At a joint White House news conference, Musharraf said a peace treaty between his government and tribes along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border is not meant to support the Taliban. He said news reports had mischaracterized the deals. "The deal is not at all with the Taliban. This deal is against the Taliban. This deal is with the tribal elders," Musharaff said.

Said Bush: "I believe him." He said that Musharaff had looked him in the eye and vowed that "the tribal deal is intended to reject the Talibanization of the people and that there won't be a Taliban and there wont be al-Aqaida (in Pakistan)."

Now, did Bush get a sense of Musharraf' SOUL or not?

reign and "saw his soul", and look how far that's gotten us.
