#1 "When [Musharraf] looks me in the eye and says" this deal will stop "the Talibanization of the people, and that there won't be a Taliban and won't be al-Qaeda, I believe him."

I won't add anything.

#2 Considering we had about zero possibility of evicting the Taliban from Afghanistan without Pakistani permission (i.e., overflights), Bush did the right thing.

Furthermore, I don't see where leaving the Taliban in Afghanistan would have made the current situation in Pakistan any better. I believe the country would be even more precarious.
