I have always thought that the US-Pakistan partnership could be useful if the US stopped its propaganda campaign against Pakistan. Looks like some kind of understanding has been reached. With the US intensifying its operations in Eastern Afghanistan & its drone strikes in North/South Waziristan, Pakistan has intensified its operations in Kurram Agency, Khyber Agency, Orakzai Agency & elsewhere (thereby 'squeezing the terrorists' as Clinton wanted), the results are there for everyone to see in Pakistan & Afghanistan. More & more terrorists are getting killed by the day, the Pakistani tribals & the rest of the nation is rallying their troops against the militants, & a similar situation is transpiring in Afghanistan too.
