WSJ op-ed: Breaking the Pakistan-Taliban Alliance by ZALMAY KHALILZAD
KHALILZAD notes:
“My view was that
Pakistan was playing a perfidious and dangerous double game and needed to be
called on it. But because of factors such as the (actual or supposed) important
Pakistani contribution to the fight against al Qaeda, Pakistan’s role as
transit route for supplies to our troops in Afghanistan, and its own (however
halfhearted) campaign against Pakistani Islamist extremists—senior U.S.
officials either ignored evidence of Pakistani support for the Afghan Taliban
or treated it as a cost worth tolerating. One result: Senior Taliban leaders
were soon living openly in Pakistani cities like Peshawar, Karachi and Quetta….
The U.S. currently
designates Pakistan as a “major non-NATO ally”—a status wholly inappropriate
given that its current policy and conduct would better merit its inclusion on
the State Department’s list of state-sponsors of terrorism.”
