I guess it's too early, and they've got other small skirmishes to clean up.
Especially now that the Europeans are fully starting to eat their children.
The Amerks tried to use the freeze-dried Osama trick to try to get
Pakistan to grovel, but they done went to the Chinese, who
dutifully wrote out and sent a statement saying: "whenever you're ready"
and, hold on now, the blink heard around the world. and I was hedging for
a proxy war.
Drones vs. 20 million Chinese soldiers

I know I said that the US would be rattling China's cage in a couple of years,
but they gotta lose money on Libya and Iran first.

Instead of meekly turning on the Pashtuns as requested, the Punjabi Pakistan elites have begun to turn to China in a refusal to do Washington's bidding. In a panic, US powers-that-be dispatched Senator John Kerry to perform a calibrated climb-down. Not good enough. Thus Hillary Clinton now performs her Pakistan pilgrimage, arriving on an "unannounced visit." Extraordinarily, she was accompanied by the most powerful military man in the world, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen.
And what did Ms. Clinton say when she got to Pakistan? According to the BBC, "US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said there is no evidence senior people in Pakistan knew that Osama Bin Laden lived so close to Islamabad. But she said that the US and Pakistan needed to do more to battle Islamist militancy and that bilateral relations had reached a turning point. Mrs Clinton said any peace deal in Afghanistan would not succeed unless Pakistan was part of the process. She expressed Washington's 'strong commitment' to relations with Pakistan."
It is funny in a sad way. Pakistan gets very bad press in the West as an ignorant, uncultured place that needs US aid to stay afloat. But here we have the spectacle of two of the most important officials in the Western world basically pleading with the ISI and Pakistan's inept political leadership. Will it work? And if not, can we expect President Barack Obama to arrive next?
