The Rainbow Tour continues! Bushes arrive in Pakistan, 'security heavy'


...The security precautions underscored the continuing terrorist threat in this poor, conservative Muslim country where a U.S. diplomat was killed a day earlier in a bomb attack.

"I will meet with President Musharraf to discuss Pakistan's vital cooperation in the war on terror and our efforts to foster economic and political development so that we can reduce the appeal of radical Islam," Bush said shortly before arriving in Pakistan. "I believe that a prosperous, democratic Pakistan will be a steadfast partner for America, a peaceful neighbor for India and a force for freedom and moderation in the Arab world."

Later, White House press secretary Scott McClellan told reporters that Bush meant to say Pakistan would be a force in the Muslim world. Pakistan is not an Arab country.
