Here is an encouraging report from the bbc.

This is exactly the kind of determination that we must not only have, but the kind of determination that we must shout to the world, esp. the world of terrorists and the nations that support them. They must know that we will not surrender to their murderous efforts of terrorism against the democracies of the world.

Now... I'll be waiting for the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the pacifist left... and the indignant MSM at this blood thirsty rhetoric from our White House...

We are waiting...

US President Barack Obama has said after meeting his Afghan and Pakistani counterparts that they are united in the goal of defeating al-Qaeda.

Speaking "extraordinarily constructive" talks, Mr Obama said the goal was to "defeat al-Qaeda" and its allies.... We have learned time and again that our security is shared....

The bottom line at the summit was more American troops for Afghanistan and more aid for Pakistan, with the Obama administration deepening its involvement in the search for stability, the BBC's Kevin Connolly reports from Washington.

Mr Obama said Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari fully appreciated the gravity of the security threats posed by militants... America, he said, was on the side of people in Pakistan and Afghanistan and had a comprehensive strategy for the region, with civilian and military components....

President Obama said he expected more setbacks and violence to come, but there was a lasting commitment to defeat al-Qaeda. The US would, he added, offer unwavering support to the governments of both Pakistan and Afghanistan.

"We have learned time and again that our security is shared," Mr Obama added. "It is a lesson that we learned most painfully on 9/11, and it is a lesson that we will not forget."

...Speaking earlier after talks with Mrs Clinton, President Asif Ali Zardari said Pakistan would help Afghanistan and the US to fight the threat posed by the Taleban and al-Qaeda.

"For no matter how long it takes and what it takes, democracies will deliver, my democracy will deliver," he told reporters. "People of Pakistan stand with the people of the United States and the people of Afghanistan."
