BBC News - Pakistan snubs US over new Taliban offensive: "Pakistan's army has said it will launch no new offensives on militants in 2010, as the US defence secretary arrived for talks on combating Taliban fighters.
Army spokesman Athar Abbas told the BBC the 'overstretched' military had no plans for any fresh anti-militant operations over the next 12 months. "
The BBC correspondent says the comments are a clear snub to Washington.
