Speaking at a White House press conference, Bush also said the United States would investigate charges by Afghan President Hamid Karzai that elements of the Pakistani intelligence services had been involved in attacks in Afghanistan.
"We'll investigate his charge and we'll work with his service to get to the bottom of his allegation," the president said. "No question, however, that some extremists are coming out of parts of Pakistan into Afghanistan," Bush said. "And that's troubling to us, it's troubling to Afghanistan, and it should be troubling to Pakistan.
"I certainly hope that the government understands the dangers of extremists moving in their country," the president said. "I think they do." "As a matter of fact, we'll have an opportunity to explore that further" with Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, Bush said.
"Pakistan is an ally. Pakistan is a friend," he said. "And I repeat, all three countries -- the United States, Pakistan and Afghanistan -- share a common enemy." "We will continue to keep the pressure on al-Qaeda with our Pakistan friends," Bush said.
