"... We have discussed OTHER forms of acting!"

"... But her comments here were much less definitive, suggesting she had not won Pakistani agreement for tougher action....
Pakistani officials have complained for some time that the American approach to the Afghan insurgency is contradictory, that the Pakistanis cannot be expected both to crack down on insurgents who've sought shelter in Pakistan and at the same time persuade them to negotiate.
At a news conference with her Pakistani counterpart, Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar, Clinton said the U.S. delegation had asked "very specifically for greater cooperation from the Pakistan side to squeeze the Haqqani network and other terrorists because we know that trying to eliminate terrorists and safe havens from one side of the border is not going to work."
But Rabbani Khar left no reason to expect a step-up in military activity aimed at the Haqqanis. Citing a recent meeting of Pakistani political leaders, Rabbani Khar said Pakistan had decided "to give peace a chance."
Washington has long believed that the leadership of the insurgency in Afghanistan is based in Pakistan, where it enjoys protection from the country's security establishment, which sees it as a proxy for its interests in Afghanistan. The Haqqani network uses North Waziristan as a safe haven.
Pakistan has said that its soldiers are stretched too thin elsewhere to take action against the Haqqani, while also saying that the country cannot afford to make an enemy of yet another violent group.
Clinton .. cautioned against Pakistani policy that sees some jihadist groups, including the Haqqani network, as so-called "good Taliban" who can help the country pursue its foreign policy goals in Afghanistan without risking peace and security inside Pakistan. "It's like that old story: You can't keep snakes in your backyard and expect them only to bite your neighbors," she said. "No policy that draws distinctions between good terrorists and bad terrorists can provide long-term security."
