Vice President Cheney has visited Pakistani President Musharraf and asked that he push harder against remote, tribal areas to flush out Al-Qaeda remnants. There's intelligence pointing towards an offensive that should begin shortly, and we need to head it off before it happens. The NY Times has also claimed that "Bush has decided to send a tough message to Musharraf, warning him that the Democrat-controlled Congress may cut off money to Pakistan unless it gets more aggressive in hunting down al Qaeda and Taliban operatives in its country."
I agree that Pakistan should push harder and that we should work together for a two pronged attack and flush out any remaining Al-Qaeda and Taliban members. This has gone on long enough and there needs to be some Al-Qaeda heads shipped back to the US in a FedEx box.
I think that Pakistan will start to realize that we are getting a bit impatient about Al-Qaeda and Taliban members in Pakistan. Pakistan has their own problems with India and with our help, India now has nuclear technology that allows them to defend themselves from the Pakistani threat. We can help stave off that threat, but we're going to need a bit of an incentive to do so....Say Al-Qaeda leadership on a silver platter? That would do nicely.
