Next week, Pervez Musharraf is coming to the White House to visit our President. They'll probably talk about this:
The United States would not hesitate to send troops into Pakistan to hunt for Osama Bin Laden if there was credible intelligence about his location, President George W Bush said in an interview.
Responding to a question if US forces would track down bin Laden if it meant hunting him down on Pakistani soil, Bush, in an interview to CNN yesterday, replied, "Absolutely".
"We would take action necessary to bring him (bin Laden) to justice," Bush said.
Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf, however, made it clear that he would not allow the sovereignty of his country to be breached by the US.
"We wouldn't like to allow that at all," he told reporters in New York.
"We will do it ourselves. We are able to do everything, wherever we locate anybody. There have been many such occasions where we have located al Qaeda or Taliban activity, and we have struck with full force very successfully," Musharraf told repoerters when asked about Bush's comment.
Go get 'em, boys.
