The Washington Quarterly Vol 31 No 2, Spring 2008, pp.7- 31 (108)Summary: "The growing dissatisfaction in the United States about Pakistani performance in counterterrorism operations is premised largely on the assumption of Islamabad's mendacity, that Musharraf's regime, despite being well compensated and its habitual claims to be performing at par, is willfully neglectful of its commitment to root out al Qaeda and Taliban cadres operating from its territory for a combination of strategic and ideological reasons." Suggests that US inattention contributed to the problem consequently destroying the Taliban will be much more difficult now than it might have been. Identifies some policy options available to the USA which though modest should help to improve the situation.
