And this comes as a surprise? They're saving face in order to be spared from AQ retribution.
I think cutting back aid should be our first move.

I would like to formally invite Pakistan to kiss my ass.

...But the United States is reliant on Pakistan to apply pressure on Taliban leaders, over whom they have historically had great influence...

Seems that the flow of influence has been reversed, given their recent actions.

We give then X number or better X amount of USD yearly for their support on WOT. I say F-them and tell them; look we know X,Y& Z and we are giving you x number weeks to get our boys into the TTP, TB and AQ areas. Your PAKMIL will lead the way (not) but our guys will be there with your PAKMIL, SSG, and Commandos.
PAKMIL and ISI is killing our guys in Afghanistana and we can't do a thing.
ISI is trying to figure out how a US Agency got into their counrty and got under their nose so far and they didn't know X,Y & Z was happening. SO now, they are playing catch up games. Torturing their own people to get to the answers they want.

But we need that money to help secure our nuclear weapons from people who would want to steal them from us . . . .
In other words: This is a nice little store you've got here, it'd be a shame if anything were to happen to it, you give us a hundred bucks a week and we'll make sure you stay safe . . .

Better yet, tell them we are giving their aid money to India to buy American weapons with.

Whatever...
If our good buddies the Israelis had launched a raid outside of west point without informing us or asking us permission to kill the last remaining Nazi, and then bragged about US nationals assisting the Mossad in surveilling him... the FBI would round up every one of those good samaritans they could get their hands on and attempt to charge them with espionage. US - Israeli relationship be damned.
Not defending the Pakistanis generally. I'm just sayin'.

But that's not what happened, is it?
Not so many years ago, (post WWII), we assisted Israeli Intelligence to round up Nazis and watch public shootings in Germany while we sat side-lined eating popcorn.
---------BT------------
Who saw on the news today, Pakistan denied CIA agents VISA access to country to begin joint service with ISI teams? Really, just two weeks after Pakistan announces "we are willing to work with American intelligence service depts."

Talk about apples and oranges! Pakistan, according to some of the talking heads in D.C., is supposed to be "one of our greatest allies in the area." These are not the actions of a great ally.
