'Pakistan A Battleground For War on Terror'


'The US President says Pakistan is a major battleground like Iraq and Afghanistan for the war on terror, urging Islamabad to fight extremists. George W. Bush, in remarks prepared for delivery on Tuesday to the US National Defense University and released by the White House late Monday, was to say all three countries "pose unique challenges for our country" in the worldwide conflict. "They are all theaters in the same overall struggle. In all three places, extremists are using violence and terror in an attempt to impose their ideology on whole populations," Bush said in the advance text. "Defeating these terrorist and extremists is in Pakistan's interest because they pose a mortal threat to Pakistan's future as a free and democratic nation," Bush added in the prepared remarks. "Defeating these terrorist and extremists is also Pakistan's responsibility because every nation has an obligation to govern its own territory and make certain that it does not become a safe haven for terror," he reiterated. His remarks came after US forces launched cross-border attacks in tribal areas in Pakistan's North Waziristan, killing at least 21 civilians and wounding 25 others on Monday. It was the fourth such strike in the rugged tribal region in almost a week.'
So i guess this means if you (Pakistan ) won't do something about it Bush will
