"the Bush administration has failed to effectively dismantle a terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan, and that it may have missed signals of possible attacks in the United Kingdom."

Last time I looked we were not in Pakistan.
I would also note that the Brits "failed" to catch those same signals.

Some people demand miracles the whine like little kittens when they are not forth coming.
Given the circumstances we are operating under with Pakistan, unless we are willing to get in Mushareff's face and advise him that we are coming in NOW, it won't change.
The odds of that happening are pretty much nil.
Does any one really believe it could be done much differently?

That's not the official line. The line we hear is: "Musharraf is doing all he can. We have our FBI and snoops on the ground and they are working with the Paks to thwart attacks." There are some 45 FBI offices in Pakistan today when I alst checked. Not to mention that numerous NSA listening posts, CIA field offices, DEA outposts etc. We have atleast a couple of facilities in Lahore where one bomber was trained.

The Brits don't have that many people in Pakistan.

We need to give Musharraf an ultimatum to close down all terror camps that he is using to pressure India and Afghanistan. The report says that these "camps" are not in the tribal zones but in Lahore, the second largest city in Pakistan. The camps in question run with Pakistan military support.

If Musharraf is so weak that he cannot even close down camps inside cities, then what good is the alliance? Are we willing to sacrifice a few dozen of our civilians every now and then to avoid "destabilizing" Musharraf?
