"This is an example of America’s strong ties to Pakistan,” US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Richard Boucher told Dawn. “These are very important meetings for both our countries. Our interest in the region has a key focus on Pakistan, which is an important nation at the core of the region.”

Pakistan’s Ambassador General (retd) Jehangir Karamat, who will also attend the meetings, described the talks as “an over-arching dialogue which brings everything under its ambit.”

The dialogue acquires special significance against the backdrop of Islamabad’s demand for a ‘package approach’ on the US civilian nuclear technology deal with India and Iran’s declaration about having successfully enriched uranium to make nuclear fuel.

Recent media reports have suggested that the Bush administration has been irked by Pakistan making ‘noises’ about the Indo-US deal that is already facing stiff opposition in the US Congress.

glad to see monkey boy's ill thought out plan is meeting opposition in Congress. * is such a fool. Everyday I am amazed anew at his stupidity.

1. I saw an article the other day saying that Pakistan is on the list

I can't remember where I saw it, but it said that Bush plans invasions of Iran, Syria, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. But I can't believe they would actually do anything to their buddies in Saudi Arabia.
