Obama rules out U.S. troops in Pakistan (Obama to talk Al-Qaeda to death)

As he carries out a retooled strategy in Afghanistan, President Barack Obama says he will consult with Pakistan's leaders before pursuing terrorist hideouts in that country.

Obama said U.S. ally Pakistan needs to be more accountable, but ruled out deploying U.S. troops there. "Our plan does not change the recognition of Pakistan as a sovereign government," the president told CBS television's "Face the Nation" in an interview broadcast Sunday.

The president also bemoaned the tenuous security situation in Afghanistan, saying, "Unless we get a handle on it now, we're gonna be in trouble." He made clear that his new strategy for the long war is "not going to be an open-ended commitment of infinite resources" from the United States.

Obama to talk Al-Qaeda to death

Since I want to shove a hot poker in my ear everytime I hear him speak, this just might work.

Great sub-title. Our fearless cinc is gonna lay-off the most effective dealer of death & destruction in Paki, in favor of the chit-chat.

I'm shocked I tell ya, truly shocked.

Mr. 'I'm gonna go after 'em wherever they hide, even if that means invading Pakistan', Mr. 'we took our eye off the ball in Afghanistan and went to Iraq' is a worthless POSPOTUS.
