NEW YORK (Reuters) – The United States has warned of "severe consequences" if a successful extremist attack in America were traced back to Pakistan, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Friday in an interview with CBS' "60 Minutes."
The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for a failed bid to bomb New York's Times Square last Saturday. If proven, it would be the group's first act in the United States.
Pakistani-American Faisal Shahzad has been charged with driving the crude homemade bomb into Midtown Manhattan and said he acted alone, according to authorities. But investigators have uncovered possible links to the Pakistani Taliban and a Kashmiri Islamist group.
"We've gotten more cooperation. It's been a real sea change in the commitment we have seen from the Pakistani government. We want more, we expect more," Clinton said in the interview to be aired on Sunday. Excerpts were released on Friday.
"We've made it very clear that if -- heaven-forbid -- an attack like this that we can trace back to Pakistan were to have been successful, there would be very severe consequences," she said, without elaborating.

HeLLFiRe production is up.. fwiw. :-}
Hillary and Obummer threatning the bad guys really scare them.
She should be quiet as we don’t need to bait them.
Obama and Clinton cant do a thing and Pakistan knows it.

So, we’re just gonna sit back and wait for them to be successful before doing anything. The Girly-Man strategy via Hilly and Obie.
Never happen. Zero would rather go after white Christians here in the USA than send boots into Paki.
hasan was successful...........
Good point.
I feel your pain.
Yeah, the anti-semite Hildebeast will be real tough on terrorists. I bet she is still seeing Suha Arafat.
“We’ll have Michelle Obama GLARE at you sternly!”
Nonsense. Zero’s already said if the US is attacked, we’ll do nothing, so Jihadists can rest easy.
"The system worked!" /s
I wonder if hillary’s consequences might include wringing the very skin off her hands, a la jimmearl carter?
Game over man!!!!
Oh no, it’ll be more fearsome than that...she’ll bring in the Spanish Inquisition and the dread Comfty Chair.
Good idea. Let’s just wait until what happened the LAST two times fails (lucky breaks...) and a device goes off killing hundreds or thousands of Americans.
Yeah. Then we will strike back at someone.
This is like watching kids juggling M-80s...we won’t do anything till one of them blows his hand off.
