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.

What? She will have Bill wag his finger at them?
Obambi will place an embargo on all DIET-PEPSI entering the rogue country!
That will teach THEM a lesson!
It will be a double-secret response.
Stop the Coca-cola and Moon pies. Maybe halt peanut butter for a week.
The Islamists know that no such severe response will ever be undertaken by any western country. We huff, we puff, we might just hyperventilate to hysteria.
You got that right !
Drug tests for Obambi’s and Clintons! Now !
bttt
LOL - be careful he might point the next time!
