President Musharraf has stressed upon the visiting US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice to ensure United States respect and consideration for the territorial sovereignty of Pakistan in its ongoing war against terrorism citing repeated violations by allied forces in Afghanistan as a source of growing reservations among Pakistani masses and intelligentsia.
| If we cross the border and kill Mullah Omar or Zawahiri or Binny, that'll be a violation of Pak sovreignty. Should we do that, we'll also be demonstrating yet again that either Pakland can't control its territory — which means they lack sovreignty over it — or that they've been providing shelter to our sworn enemies, which would indicate they're not really on our side despite their protestations. Only if we violate their borders and kill the wrong people do they have a bitch. |
The American Secretary of State ensured President Musharraf that America gives due respect and consideration to Pakistan as an important ally in war against terrorism.
| Yep. Due and appropriate respect. If we find them, we'll kill them, just like we did with the Zawahiri zap a few months ago. We missed him, but we took out other bad guyz, along with the puppies and kittens and baby ducks and fluffy bunnies. |
Condoleezza Rice met President General Pervez Musharraf on Tuesday evening in the President House, where both discussed matters of mutual interest and bilateral relations pertaining to war against terrorism, political situations of Afghanistan, Iraq, the Middle East, Pak-America Defense and economic treaties, regional situations and ongoing peace process between Pakistan and India. Musharraf briefed Condoleezza Rice about serious and steadfast implementations of all the policies agreed upon with President Bush during his visit to Pakistan, and expressed his vow and need for a unified war to end terrorism in the region, assuring her that contrary to malicious propaganda, Osama bin Laden is not present in Pakistan.
Referring to maintaining balance of power in the Sub-continent region, President Musharraf stressed on USA to sign a pact for delivery of civil nuclear technology to Pakistan as well, since Pakistan requires such technology to fulfill its growing energy need.
| And Dr. Strangelove is now under lock and key with a "heart condition." |
He also stressed USA to play its part to influence positive outcome of the ongoing peace talks between Pakistan and India, so that the core issue of Kashmir could be resolved amicably and quickly.
| But without stopping the flow of hard boyz across the border... |
President Musharraf also raised the issue of tirade of rampant and baseless allegations of the Afghan leadership against Pakistan, upon which Ms Rice contended that US stands by its already stated position over the controversy. Pakistan and United States of America reiterated their desire to further strengthen defence relationship so as to cope with the emerging challenges in mutually beneficial ways. |
