Asia Times -- Fissures in an unnatural alliance

America winks continuously at the sustained support to international Islamist radicalism and terrorism by Pakistan, as well as at the persistence of a vast terrorist infrastructure on Pakistani soil, as long as these are not seen to be directed against American targets, or to be currently engaged with the al-Qaeda-Taliban combine.

The rising anti-US public demonstrations and protests mirror a mounting hostility within the Pakistan army to the American war against terror agenda.

It is clear, moreover, that US troops on the ground are getting impatient with Pakistan's duplicity, and are increasingly resentful of the visible support and accommodation that the al-Qaeda and Taliban survivors are receiving on Pakistani soil.
