[Skeptic]

Hillary Clinton says the U.S. has gotten more cooperation from Pakistan in the war on terror, but warns that if a successful terror attack would be traced back to that country there would be "severe consequences."

Clinton on War on Terror, Pakistan - 60 Minutes - CBS News

(CBS) Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the Pakistani government has been warned that if a terror operation like the failed Times Square bombing were to be successful and found to be originated in their country, "there would be very severe consequences."

Clinton also acknowledged Pakistan's increased cooperation in the war on terror, but said the U.S. wants and expects even more from the Muslim nation.

The interview was conducted in Washington Friday by "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley for a report to be broadcast this Sunday, May 9, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

"We've made it very clear that if, heaven-forbid, an attack like this that we can trace back to Pakistan were to have been successful, there would be very severe consequences," Clinton tells Pelley. The car bomb that fizzled out in Time Square last week was planted by Faisal Shahzad, a naturalized American citizen who was born in Pakistan and says he had terrorist training there.

Clinton says Pakistan's attitude toward fighting Islamic terrorists has changed remarkably. "We've gotten more cooperation and it's been a real sea change in the commitment we've seen from the Pakistan Government. [But] We want more. We expect more," says Clinton.

I appreciate this warning to the Pakistani Government. This should force Zardari to everything in his power to eliminate these terrorists. It will be good for Pakistan and the U.S.A.

Hope that day does not arise, although major attacks have gone down but real test will be when army moves out.

Good that it is being taken in the right spirit. Yes Pakistan is expected to do more and act on terrorists on Pak soil.

one of billion reasons, why pakistanis hate americans, nuf said..

attitdue like this, like warning, threatening selling junk at high price, bad mouthing pakistan and pakistanis, pakistan being their most important ally will not help

the man was not even a pakistani, he was american with pak origin, so responsibility goes to them not us. next time a saudi does that, please do put pressure on saudi arab by putting oil embargo and by not purchasing their oil. please do it..

The world is a much more dangerous place after 9/11. There was nothing like this before 9/11. This war OF terror that clinton and the rest of american politicians are supporting are creating more and more terrorists. Washington is the creator of all this terror.

Times like this make me miss Musharraf so so much. He would have responded in an intelligent way to this. Stupid fool Zardari can't communicate well and this rhetoric keeps happening and Pakistan's name is being destroyed.

I think Pakistan needs to take drastic action and kill all those known terrorists and those suspected of terrorism and those who assoicate with terrorism and those support terrorism.

Sure innocent lives will be lost but something major needs to be done. This must not continue any longer. This needs to be done for the survival of Pakistan. Pakistan will not become a Somalia, Iraq or Afghanistan.

You cant just go into an area and start killing. That will just anger the local population and create more terrorists.

Why do you think US and 7 nations can not win in Afghanistan.

We have to understand why are terrorists born? Why now and not before 9/11? US needs to get out of Afghanistan for there to be peace in the world.

You have to have the support from the local population. Without that you cant win.

this war on terror is itself endangering the survival of pakistan. look at the ethnic differences emerging nowadays.

They simply cannot do that as they need US for access to Market, influence in IMF. To fund development and projects in Pakistan, the famous Kerry Luke bill, etc.

If Pakistan could do that, it would have done that long back.
