ISLAMABAD: Solving the Palestinian dispute must be the
top priority of US President George W Bush's second
term, if terrorism is to be defeated, Pakistani
President Pervez Musharraf told AFP. 

"Wherever there's a political dispute, they form the
breeding grounds for militancy and extremism," General
Musharraf, one of Bush's closest allies in
Washington's war on terrorism, said in an exclusive
interview late on Thursday. 

"Therefore you must fight at the root, and that is the
resolution of the political disputes, and the root of
the root is the Palestinian dispute. 

"We look forward in his second tenure to his closing
fronts, starting with the Palestine dispute, because
that is the core of the core." 

"I expect President Bush and the US to play a much
more proactive role and a just role to resolve
disputes, political disputes." 

Musharraf has won Bush's firm alliance since he sided
with Washington to oust Afghanistan's Taliban rulers,
originally backed by Pakistan, after the September 11,
2001 terror attacks and sent tens of thousands of
troops on a hunt for Al-Qaeda fugitives. 

"He must work out an exit strategy, for both Iraq and
Afghanistan. Having said that, it's easier said than
done," Musharraf said. 

"He must bring stability, he must ensure the
territorial integrity of both Iraq and Afghanistan.
They must bring stability there before they leave."
