Wikileaks ISLAMABAD: Pakistan feared that US will again desert Islamabad after they get Osama Bin Laden due to which Pakistan hesitates to fully cooperate with its key ally, WikiLeaks reveals quoting Anne W Patterson.
Anne W Patterson said that the relationship between the two countrues is one of co-dependency they grudgingly admit--Pakistan knows the U.S. cannot afford to walk away; the U.S. knows Pakistan cannot survive without our support.
She said that militants will exploit either weak civilian government or a return to military rule that lacks popular legitimacy, so we should help the Zardari/Gilani government complete its full five-year term in office. We can work with Nawaz Sharif if he wins the next election, but Zardari is our best ally in Pakistan right now, and U.S. interests are best served by preventing another cycle of military rule.
