Pakistan a strong ally of U.S. in fighting Taliban

U.S. President Bush said in a speech that Pakistan is a strong ally of White house as it is extending its support towards fighting Taliban and Al Qaeda militants. President Bush praised Pakistan Prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani.

American President spoke about Pakistan, just before the attacks that were carried out on militant outposts in the region. Just three days back, U.S. secretary of state, Rice scolded publicly Pakistan for not helping troops in attacks like in the Azam Warsak, a village in South Waziristan.
