    Noting that al-Qaeda and the Taliban have now large presence in Pakistan, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that in the last nine months Islamabad has increased its commitment in the fight against terrorism, but the Obama Administration is not "satisfied".

    "Well, look at, again, what has happened in the last nine months. Pakistan has increased its commitment in the fight against the Taliban and al-Qaeda," Clinton told the CBS news channel in an interview.

    Clinton said that the Pakistan has been "absolutely successful" in the Swat Valley, despite the fact that a lot of people thought that they would never happen.

    "I believed that if we engaged very intensively with our Pakistani friends - and we did, through meetings in Washington and in Islamabad - if we shared information, we listened to each other, that there would be a decision by the civilian and military leadership that the threat was directed at them, that it could undermine their government," she said.

    So, yes, have they taken action? Absolutely," Clinton said. "In fact, it will lead to very dangerous consequences, in terms of the survivability of the state in many parts of the country," she said.

    "Have they done enough is the question?" she was asked. "Well, you know, we are always working for more. As I just finished saying, we are not satisfied with anything. This is not a check box kind of experience where "we're done with that, we're done with that," she said.

    "But look at what has been accomplished, and I think that we will continue to see a very close coordination," Clinton said.

    Hillary Clinton imaginationBy: kk | 29-Sep-2009 Reply | Forward Americans/Clinton believe that Pakis have done a good job and are committed to fight terrorism. But the Americans don't want to see the other wicked side of the Pakis. They are screwing dollars from US and that is not to fight terrorism but to sponsor terrorism to fight NATO/Americans in Afghanistan. You will soon find out if Americans stop giving them any more aid. The truth will come out as they are no friend of US. The impression they have given to the US that they are sincere in fighting Taliban but the Pakis/ ISI are the one who are providing them the safe heaven. Musharaaf cheated them and the rest are waiting for American bounty. Sooner or later the American tax payers will learn that the Pakis are not trustable and will never be their friend.
    Reminiscences of Great Lady! By: SVS Subrahmaniam | 29-Sep-2009 Reply | Forward Stop aiding Pakistan dear Lady! Money makes may things and Pakistan is doing this thing. Pakistan is fooling US in the name of “fight against terror”. It is not doing, on the contrary your aid will hit back on you only. Because it is not using those funds for your purpose but using to build up forces to attack India. You are not understanding. The AL Quaida which is posing a threat to you in your dreams is not being contained by Pakistan with your aid you are giving to Pakistan; on the contrary it is taking inroads in to Pak Nuke arsenals. One day it will fulfill its “life time achievement”. Even now also it is not late. Put up a moratorium for some years to aid Pakistan, automatically it will fall in line. But you do not do it, because you have been living on “fishing in trouble waters”.
    Dollars down the drainBy: Hero Vaz | 29-Sep-2009 Reply | Forward America's trust and confidence in the Pakis is pathetic. They have been double-crossed by the Pakis many times but they have learnt no lessons. The fools are throwing good money at the crooks and scoundrels - who will pocket most of it - instead of looking at their own poor and jobless who need help. This is, both, a sin and a crime against the people of the US.
    Double GameBy: NP Singh | 28-Sep-2009 Reply | Forward Terror has been Pakistan's State Policy right from the very beginning.When they are under pressure,they run with the hound and the hare as well.Terror has become an integral part of the Pakistani Establishment.Hence they can not live with out Terror,Terrorism and the Terror Infrastructure.How come there could be any Serious Commitment to fight Terrorism to the FINISH.The only thing which interests them is Milking the US and the friends of democratic Pakistan.By now they have become an Expert in Milking the above said friends.In our Opinion the US is stuck for ever as Pakistan is NOT Interested to eliminate Terrorism and its infrastructure from its soil.Well many people must be wondering if Terrorism has become well paying business for them.Wishing the US ALL THE LUCK.
