Pakistan resists US push to expand terror fight
2010-10-25
[Dawn] Pakistain's foreign minister said Sunday that his country will deal with a key Taliban sanctuary along the Afghan border on its own timeline despite increasing US pressure to move swiftly to help turn around the war in Afghanistan.

Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Wormtongue Qureshi spoke after returning from Washington for the latest round of high-level strategic talks with the B.O. regime.

His comments indicated a new $2 billion military aid package offered by the US did little change Pakistain's strategic calculus.

''We have our own priorities. We have our own sense of timing,'' said Qureshi when asked by news hounds about US pressure to launch an offensive against Talibs in the North Wazoo tribal area.

''When you do an operation, you have to consolidate your position,'' Qureshi told news hounds during a news conference in the city of Lahore.

''If you do an operation without consolidating, what will happen is that you leave the place and they (the beturbanned goons) will fill the gap again.''
