I remember reading this 'bombing Pakistan back to stone age' comment atleast 2 or 3 years ago - not sure as to where.
The question really is to why's Mushy making it a issue this time around? Could it be that lately Powell (Armitage is supposed to be close to Powell) is not viewed favorably at White House and Mushy knows this. Imagine Mushy making it an issue if Powell, Armitage was still operating from USD.
