To read the article in TNI by Bruce Riedel, go to http://www.nationalinterest.org/Article.aspx?id=21644. TNI Editor Justine Rosenthal sits down with Bruce Riedel--formerly of the CIA and the point man for Obama's recently completed AfPak policy task force--to discuss why the threat of collapse in Pakistan is more real than ever, what it will take to push the country over the edge and why any obituary of al-Qaeda is premature.

U.S calls Pakistan its closest ally but its a big hypocrite yes its right. U.S foreign policy is designed for its own interest from start to end there are no U.S allies even U.K. Where was U.S in 1965 Indo-Pak war when india attacked Pakistan. In 1971 Indo-Pak war it so called PAK its ally but U.S step back when ever Pakistan needed its help and in 2010 PAK floods it was not U.S really helping PAK people but wining their heart that they are not criminal swhen target most civilian in drones

this old arse feel shame to accept the failures in Afghanistan after 10yrs and trying to put mess on Pakistan actually the truth is U.S has been a threat to all politically militarily. WW2, Vietnam, Fuel Soviet-Afghan war, Iraq-Iran, Iraq war with no evidence able to provide even today, U.S problem is nuclear Pakistan even though PAK is a nuclear power but didn't test one like U.S on Japan did in WW, But Nuclear Israel and India is most welcome by U.S WHY??? Even they have offensive strategies
