Whatever is the people of America thinks about President George W. Bush, his passion is to keep America Safe; also to keep world safe.
Of late the elected Pakistani Government tried to fool him, in spite of tough warnings. Now every body knows that terrorists have no place to hide except Pakistan's tribal province where hard core Islam is practiced by the top Islamic fundamentalists. It is believed that after the 'Tora Bora' bombardment in Afganisthan, Osama-Bin-Laden & his Jihadis have taken shelther in the tribal province of Pakistan. President Musharaf did not do any thing to catch them but have spent the $12 billion WAT (War Against Terror) fund to modernise Pakistan Army.
An irritated President George W. Bush reminded several times but finally the newly elected Pakistani Army ended up with a peace agreement with tribals - just to show that every thing will go right. It was just an eye washer & washigton knew that both the Pakistani PM & the tribal fundamentalists were not sincere.

Pakistan, Militants Negotiate Peace Deal
The Pakistani government and elders of a militant tribe on the border of Afghanistan are negotiating a pact that would expel foreign members of al-Qaida, but not home-grown members of the Taliban.
The hope is to rein in domestic attacks organized by Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud, who is accused of being behind the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.

U.S. Worry Grows over Pakistan's Tribal Peace Deal
The U.S. government is increasingly concerned about Pakistan's decision to negotiate a peace deal with militants in its tribal areas. The Bush administration cites Pakistan's previous agreements with militants that did not work and allowed al-Qaida and the Taliban to regroup.
June-11
Terrorists violates peace agreement and attacks on US-led Nato forces in Afgan boarder.
US unmanned atrcraft detects the threat and US retaliates with air attack. 11 Pakistani FC soldiers killed in attack by US-led forces in Mohmand
The attack took place in the Sheikh Baba area near a place where Nato forces and Afghan National Army had been fighting with the Taliban in Afghanistan's Kunar province which borders Mohmand and Bajaur tribal areas
Pakistan Said:
A spokesman for the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) termed it a "cowardly and unprovoked" act and said that 11 personnel, including a major of the Mohmand Rifles, a detachment of the Frontier Corps, were killed in the attack. It condemned the attack.
"Such acts of aggression don't serve the common cause of fighting terrorism," he said, adding that a strong protest had been lodged by the Pakistan Army. He said that Pakistan reserved the right to protect its citizens and soldiers against aggression.
Pak PM said: "We strongly condemn it," the prime minister said, adding: "We will not allow violation of our soil."
US Said:
Pakistan's envoy to Washington said - "US leaders had warned Islamabad that if the United States suffered an attack that was traced back to Pakistan Washington would retaliate"
Admiral Michael Mullen, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, warned that Al Qaeda leaders operating in Pakistan's tribal areas were planning new terrorist attacks against the United States and urged Islamabad to eliminate their sanctuary.
Admiral Mullen called upon Pakistani authorities to enforce any deals they strike with tribal leaders in the Fata and to require not only the expulsion of Al Qaeda but also a halt to the flow of insurgents across the border into Afghanistan.
What is Now ?
Ambassador Haqqani listed new conditions Pakistan would impose in any deal with militants. Fighters will now have to pledge not to launch attacks in either Pakistan or Afghanistan. All foreign fighters in the tribal areas must be expelled. And extremists must promise not to give safe haven to any group targeting any of Pakistan's allies, including the United States.
How Pakistan has fallen in line. It negotiated a half-hearted peace deal with religious fundamentalists, knowing that it won't work out ? It ignoted US warning "US leaders had warned Islamabad that if the United States suffered an attack that was traced back to Pakistan Washington would retaliate"
Result. It's own soldiers got killed. US will not keep quiet till all Al-Quida are flushed out of Pakistan.
Now, would our Dr. Manmohan Singh has such daring ?
