MSNBC: "Pakistan, which is helping the U.S. track Osama bin Laden..."
Bush aims to calm fray between two key allies
He’ll meet anti-terror partner Musharraf amid Afghan-Pakistan strains



Updated: 1 hour, 18 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - President Bush is playing middle man in a thorny foreign policy problem that has bubbled up between two U.S. allies in the war on terrorism who accuse each other of not doing enough to crack down on extremists.

Bush was to meet Friday with Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf. He’s following up that meeting with talks on Tuesday with Afghan President Hamid Karzai. Then, they’ll have a three-way sit down on Wednesday.

Bush is working to find a way to defuse the dispute between Pakistan, which is helping the United States track Osama bin Laden and restrain bin Laden’s al-Qaida organization, and the struggling democratic government in Afghanistan.

Karzai’s government is suffering its heaviest insurgent attacks since U.S.-led troops toppled the Taliban in late 2001.

What focking tools they are.

2. Musharif is anti-terror, sure he is. Anti-ObL's boot on his neck terror.
He's a lukewarm US ally at best; he has to be for his own survival.

3. Even the Bushbots have to see the irony in that headline.
