Calling it "targeting" doesn't mean there won't be Pakistan casualties. The most important point though, is made by Biden at the end of this video. Now that he's told Pakistan that he will take military actions in their country, if they give him actionable intelligence, and they don't act according to his wishes, why would they give him that intelligence? He's crippled his ability to get things done in that region with one stupid remark.

U.S. soldiers have joined Pakistani troops on raids in the tribal border regions, and the FBI is contributing information and agents to the pursuit of al-Qaeda holdouts.

He has decided to monitor hate sermons from mosques; require that all madrassas be registered and foreign students expelled; clamp down on inflammatory material; and prohibit militant groups from collecting funds. Pakistan also responded to the bombing by detaining more than 200 suspected Islamist militants.

After the July 2005 London bombings, in which the bombers were of Pakistani decent—and at least one of the suspects visited a Pakistani madrassa—Musharaff outlined a new approach for cracking down on extremism.

• Musharraf says Pakistani troops had their best chance of capturing bin Laden from May-July 2004, after the army launched an offensive along the border with Afghanistan. But he says the trail has now gone cold.

According to the State Department's 2004 Country Report, "Pakistan continues to pursue al-Qaeda and its allies aggressively through counterterrorist police measures and large-scale military operations." Osama bin Laden is widely believed to be hiding in the remote tribal region along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border with his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri.

Thanks for saying what I have been saying for a while, that BO neded to "out-hawk" his opponents, now that he's president let's see if he'll followup on his threat if he not too much of a pussy.

Obama is a naive twit, he uses very poor judgment, would be willing to meet with Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez and Amadinijad (Iran Pres) also goes to a church for 20 years that has a pastor (Rev. Wright) who goes to enemy country Libya with Louis Farrakhan. Obama is a total moron and dangerous for America.

I've read about the Waziristan war. Al-Qaeda gangsters are terrorizing the tribesman. The Taliban is making a comeback. The US has been good about staying on the Afghan side of the border. BUT if we get intelligence that one of the most wanted men in the world is hiding out in some cave/camp, wouldn't we want to do SOMETHING?

this is a case of selective hearing. obama is not talking about walking our troops into Islamabad. Rather he has advocated targeting guerrillas hiding in the vast expanse of Northern Pakistan/Waziristan/Talibanist­an whatever you want to call it.
