This morning, the <A href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/26/world/asia/26pakistan.html?th&emc=th">NYT</A> and the <A href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17340265/">AP</A> tell us that Cheney stopped over in Pakistan to give President Musharraf a warning that he needs to do a better job fighting Al Qaeda and the Taliban in North Waziristan. Musharraf responds by telling Cheney in essence “show me the proof that Bin Laden and Mullah Omar are in Pakistan, and I’ll do something.” Musharraf knows that Cheney and the rest of the Administration haven’t been too concerned about finding Bin Laden. He also knows that Al Qaeda’s resurgence in North Waziristan came about as a direct result of <A href="http://www.realcities.com/mld/krwashington/news/world/15419933.htm" set="yes">the treaties with local tribal leaders that Cheney and Bush encouraged Musharraf to do</A>. Yet you wouldn’t have known this from reading the NYT account or the AP account of this visit.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/49622132-1A4D-4E3F-822B-6E502C9603CF/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
