Cool Faustian deal

(1) What is the meaning of "Faustian deal" in the following paragraph which I picked up from newspaper: "On the subject of Osama, he is so slippery you want to lock him in a room with the muscle-bound Armitage," Dowd wrote. The Paks..... are at the heart of the Faustian deal the Bush administration has made. The justification for invading Iraq was that they couldn't allow a dictator who might be harbouring terrorists to stay in power. But their great ally in the war on terro is Musharraf , a dictator who appears to be harbouring terrorists, including the one we ( Indians) want most. "

(2) What is a "Vacuum cleaner approach"

(3) " To raise the bogey"
