If it did it would not have pushed pakistan for a base? I mean in what world, universe or alternate reality would you ask a country to host your military base who has been consistently been accused of playing a double game? Whose government is being ignored, whose arch rival is now your best strategic partner, whose own closet ally happens to be your rival.
The reason US decided to go on with these demands anyway is because it is far from reality. Your president is a guy who happened to hold our embarrassment of a PM by his neck, his president thought the most difficult call would be to president of Pakistan after obl raid. He in his mind and that of his government wants to believe this to be the same Pakistan. This is not reality but what you wish the reality to be. Unfortunately this is not going to work out, not anymore. This is not the same pakistan however i doubt if US will understand. In fact I believe US in its desperation is going to do something stupid, the consequences of which will be far reaching both in terms of the stability of the region and Pakistan.
