"At the end of the day, we hope that they continue to work with us as partners in counterterrorism," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino told reporters aboard Air Force One during President George W. Bush's Africa tour.

"The threat from extremists is just as grave and very immediate for the people of Pakistan as evidenced by the violence there recently," she added.
