World The newspaper said senior U.S. military officials stressed a possible strike would only be considered under extreme circumstances such as a catastrophic attack that convinced President Barack Obama that the campaign using CIA drone strikes is not working. The officials said airstrikes would be the most effective option in reducing the threat posed by al-Qaeda and other groups, but the United States must be careful not to damage its military relationship with Pakistan to a point where it cannot be repaired. CIA-operated drones have targeted Taliban figures in Pakistan's tribal areas and the group has vowed to avenge missile strikes that have killed some of its leaders. The failed Times Square bombing on May 1 has revived international fears about Pakistan, a U.S. ally in the campaign against militancy. It also has forced the Obama administration to review how it would respond to a successful attack on U.S. soil. U.S. authorities say Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani-American, has admitted to the Times Square bomb attempt and has been cooperating with investigators since his arrest on May 3. American and Pakistani authorities are likely scrambling for clues on whether those detained have ties to militants in Pakistan, who are bent on toppling the state and are violently opposed to the U.S. presence. World Comments See All Comments (1) | Post Comment May 29, 2010 3:33am EDT I can’t believe the U.S. is thinking even remotely of attacking Pakistan. For all practical purposes, Pakistan should be attacking the U. S. for sending missile strikes into THEIR territory and killing woman and children from a blockhouse in the Nevada desert. The U.N. or somebody needs to reign-in America for running amok in other countries, destroying and killing a perceived and phantom group that has NO end in sight, 9 yrs. and counting. The death, destruction and maiming is insane and intolerable. America picks on lesser countries to intimidate and invade. People in mud and brick houses, and no socks to boot. What if clues turned up a trail to Russia or China, would we have boots on the ground there? Of course not. America only does what it wants, only if it can. America is definitely NOT the America we all KNEW. Pity. daniwitz13 Report As Abusive See All Comments (1) Add a Comment *We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.
