Only time can say if the US made another mistake in Pakistan by supporting the dictatorship in Pakistan. ''Musharraf is a strong ally in the war against these extremists. I like him and I appreciate him,'' Bush said.

US President George W Bush patted Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf for checking extremism calling the General a "strong ally" in the war against terror after the country's military stormed a Islamabad mosque where militants were holding hostages.

Bush also called Musharraf a partner in the promotion of democracy. "I''m of course, constantly working with him to make sure that democracy continues to advance in Pakistan. He's been a valuable ally in rejecting extremists. And that's important, to cultivate those allies," he said.

Bush's remarks followed an expression of approval by the US State Department of Pakistan's decision to storm the Lal Masjid mosque in Islamabad where scores of hardcore militants were holed up for eight days.
