Pakistan and Afghanistan are tied together like Siamese twins, and any action against either has to be considered in its effect on the other.
Piss off Pakistan badly enough, and you lose the only seaport through which passes 90% of all supplies heading to our troops in Afghanistan.
You close that port, you better have almost all of the troops out first, or a Plan B for an air bridge that would put the Berlin Airlift to shame.
Or just pay the Chinese to supply us.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
