President Karzai comparing Pakistan's cooperation with terrorists with "trying to train a snake against somebody else":

"You cannot train a snake. It will come and bite you."

[Omar] is "for sure" in Pakistan. Musharraf "knows it and I know it," Karzai said. "He's truly there."

President Musharraf, responding to President Bush's CNN comments that he would kill or capture Osama bin Laden if he had intelligence that he was in Pakistan:

...and Musharraf's claim (to be aired on 60 Minutes this Sunday) that the US threatened to bomb Pakistan "to the Stone Age" if it did not receive cooperation in the War on Terror:

"The intelligence director told me that (Armitage) said, 'Be prepared to be bombed. Be prepared to go back to the stone age'," Musharraf said.  "I think it was a very rude remark," Musharraf says in the interview. "One has to think and take actions in the interests of the nation, and that's what I did."
