Pakistani Terrorist Groups

The Washington Times says, "The Haqqani Network, the terrorist group that the U.S. command in Afghanistan says is its most formidable enemy — worse than the Taliban or al Qaeda — has operated for a dozen years across the border in Pakistan’s North Waziristan tribal area with little to fear other than sporadic drone strikes.
We have been giving the Pakistani government $1 billion per year on average for many years.
We should now be saying to the Pakistanis, "if you want to continue receiving your billion dollars per year, we insist that you get the terrorist groups in your country under control, meaning eliminate any terrorist operations originating in your country, which jeopardize our operations anywhere in the world. However you do it is okay with us. You can put them all in jail, or kill them all, but we need proof that you have them under control, if you want your billion dollars per year. In the absence of any progress on your control of terrorist organizations in your country, we will be cutting the billion dollar contribution substantially, depending upon how much cooperation we see from you."
