If you got your news from somewhere besides Salon.
You'd know that we HAVE struck inside the Pakistani tribal regions, using unmanned drones. And the CIA is pretty active in that area, probably conducting those fancy "black ops".
But here's the deal:
Pakistan will NEVER allow the US to send troops in there to search for Bin Laden. There would be a nationwide revolt (even worse than what's going on right now) and Musharraf knows it. Instead of pissing another Muslim country off, particularly one with nuclear weapons, the US has the Pakistani army conduct the raids, and the US does its stuff under the radar.
If Barack thinks he's just going to march the Army in there and find Bin Laden, he is mistaken. Good luck with that.
