The U.S. isn't going into Pakistan because they are our allies. Their challenge is that the ISI is full of AQ/Taliban sympathizers, and the northwest tribal regions are not under the control of the government.
The Pakistani government wants to fight terrorism, but they are challenged by a vocal and violent minority that could destabilize the government. They can't openly ask us to come into their territory for fear of provoking a coup or a civil war. But don't worry, you are not alone in misunderstanding this problem. Obama doesn't get it either.
