WASHINGTON - Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz said Tuesday he expressed concerns to President Bush about a deadly U.S. missile attack that has increased tensions between the two countries.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Aziz said he and Bush agreed that better communication between the allies was necessary, though they didn't agree on specifics.

"We leave it to our officials," he said, adding that representatives of the United States, Afghanistan and Pakistan would meet to discuss the attack in the next few days. "That's the appropriate forum to discuss those issues."

Bush has not said anything about the missile strike in a remote area near the Afghan border, which the Americans say was aimed at Osama bin Laden's second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahri. He did not take questions when appearing before reporters at the end of their private meeting and ignored shouted inquiries about whether they had discussed the attack.

I get the feeling that this is not over. Did Smirky try to take their earthquake aid away if they fussed? Why was Poppy really there a day after the strike? Poppy says he was just there for quake aid, but I don't think so. So many questions.

1. I'm sure they wish airstrike meant that their airlines workers went

chimpy, I mean awol rather than the fact that there is a big hole in the ground where almost 20 civilians once were.

2. This is definitely not a discussion between equals.

I'm thinking if Pakistan had made a missile strike on Oconomowoc Wisconsin killing a bunch of innocent US citizens, Bush would have had more to say than "we need to improve communication."

3. Of course, and then helped him think of bogus OBL stories to con the

stupid Americans with. OBL has been dead since 2001 folks. In exchange for the use of his name for the neocon crime of 9-11, we removed the troops from Saudi Arabia.

Grow up America.
