US to be firm but cooperative with Pakistan: Obama

[Xracer]

WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama said on Friday the United States will continue to push Pakistan to do more to curb militants based in its border regions while maintaining intelligence cooperation with Islamabad.

"We've been very firm with them about needing to go after safe havens inside of Pakistan, but we've tried to also preserve the intelligence cooperation that we've obtained that's allowed us to go after al Qaeda in a very effective way," he told a radio interview.

"There's no doubt that the relationship is not where it needs to be and we are going to keep on pressing them to recognize that it is in their interest -- not just ours – to make sure that extremists are not operating within their borders," added Obama. (Reuters)

Americans never seem to tire. Endlessly, trying to the same thing in different words & from different mouths. I am getting sick of these. They look so desperate & frustated.

Read carefully

"We've been very firm with them about needing to go after safe havens inside of Pakistan, but we've tried to also preserve the intelligence cooperation that we've obtained that's allowed us to go after al Qaeda in a very effective way,"

Not really firm way. How many times US says "but", but, but, etc ?

I think, United Pakistan including everyone of 180 million scared him.
