#1 I think that cracking down on Pak is a question of timing. We had to make a deal with the devil to get into Afghanistan. Once we deal with Iraq, then we can readjust and get the hell out of this hell hole and dry it up. Follow the money...who is propping up Pak? The US and Sauid Arabia.

#2 Pakistan's contribution to the anti-Taliban war was almost worthless. All of the B-52 attacks had to be made from bases on American soil, half the world away. The terror state of Pakistan also convinced the Bush government to offer a Taliban presence in a nominal "broad based government," during the war. Then there was the humiliating armistice agreements forced by Bush-Mushareff on the NA. American troops in Afghanistan, are fighting the very same jihadis that Bush protected.
