Bush would send troops into Pakistan to get Osama

"What [Gen. Musharraf] is doing is entering agreements with governors in the regions of the country, in the hopes that there would be an economic vitality, there will be alternatives to violence and terror," Mr. Bush told ABC News in a recent interview.
"We have made it clear that he should not provide an environment that enables people to go from his country into Afghanistan," Mr. Bush said.
In a conversation with CNN's Wolf Blitzer yesterday, Mr. Bush insisted that he would send forces into Pakistan to capture or kill al Qaeda leaders if solid intelligence information pinpointed them in that country, according to Cox News Service.
"Absolutely," Mr. Bush said when asked whether he would give the order under those circumstances.

"We would take the action necessary to bring them to justice," the president replied.

It appears that what is missing is actionable intelligence on Osama's location. This should make for an interesting meeting with Musharraf, today. Bush will also want to discuss the recent agreement between Pakistan and the governors of the region that has been offereing sanctuary to the Taliban. At best that agreeemnt is a political ploy to gain support for future operations when the Taliban and the governors do not live up to it. At worst, it is a capitualation that may lead to a NATO invasion of the area to clear out the infestation.
