IT'S TIME TO MOUNT A MASSIVE AIR ATTACK ON PAKISTAN'S LAWLESS REGIONS

Bush is finally getting tougher on the Pakis.

Bush couldn't do it before - with Musharraf in titular "total" control, because that would have destabilized him and our alliance. But Bush can do it now because it would destabilize Sharif and Bhutto - and they are part of the problem: their appeasement of the Taliban has made things worse.

All Bush has to do is call Musharraf on a secure line the moment the bombings begin.

We should pound them for three days with everything we've got in the region.

Then Musharraf can take to his airwaves and say it was a allied mission.
