Secretary of State Clinton said yesterday that it's personal between her and the Al Qaeda terror gang, and Pakistan should give up intel on where they are.

"I want those guys," she said. "I assume somebody in this (Pakistani)government, from top to bottom, does know where (Osama) Bin Laden is, and I'd like to know too," Clinton told Fox News Channel's "On the Record" with Greta van Susteren.

Clinton was speaking from Kabul, where she was convening an international donors conference on Afghanistan under tight security, after spending the weekend in Pakistan shoring up frayed relations.

"It's not yet what I want to be," Clinton said of U.S.-Pakistani cooperation against Al Qaeda. "Having been a senator from New York on 9/11, I want those guys -- I mean, I will not be satisfied until we get them," Clinton said.

Clinton also noted Pakistan's internal political problems in moving against Pakistani elements of the Taliban who are believed to be sheltering Al Qaeda. But she added that the U.S. would stay in the region for the long-term to provide support.

"This is tough," Clinton said. "I'm not going to sit here and tell you that it's not, but boy, do I think it would be a mistake to walk away."

Clinton added that "We've done that. We have walked away from both Pakistan and Afghanistan in the past, with all the consequences we're well aware of."

I love her comments. Not only do they show how strongly she hates what happened on 9/11, it reflects her personal and professional outlooks very well. She's passionate about getting the terrorists and recognizes that Pakistan is not helping us as they should, yet she's also pragmatic enough to deal with the reality of the situation.
