#1 Bush administration officials have touted the snowballing of arrests as proof of the presidentâs success in the war against terror. But Pakistani police give the credit to the botched bombing, the cell phone discovery and, more broadly, to Pakistanâs own, internal war against extremists.

The Pakis wouldn't have done a damn thing without the pressure from the President. The WOT uses all kinds of tools and methods, including putting pressure on "allies" to clean up their act. Unilateral and preemtpive military force is an option that the President wants, but which Kerry/Edwards/LLLs want to summarily declare as verboten.
