following the welcome to cross talk i'm peter lavelle destined to be from the me again pakistan u.s. relations face a breaking point the u.s. says pakistan is hedging its bets by maintaining ties to militant groups that are trying to undermine the government in neighboring afghanistan and pakistan replies that washington's rhetoric is counterproductive and would only play into the hands of militant groups how long can this deadly embrace continue. to cross-talk u.s. pakistan relations i'm joined by stephen cohen in washington he's a senior fellow at the brookings institution also in washington we have jacob hornberger he's founder and president of the future of freedom foundation and in islamabad we cross to ayesha siddiqa she's a pakistani political commentator and author of the book military incorporated inside pakistan's military economy all right folks cross talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want hear a different point of view and i want my viewers to see it but first tell us about the arab in this key strategic relationship where relations between the u.

u.s. and pakistan have never been smooth after the fallout from the u.s. assassination of osama bin laden the state of the alliance has gone from bad to worse admiral mike mullen one of the most pro pakistan officials in washington has referred to the country as the epicenter of world terrorism but his most recent remarks have added fuel to the fire. choosing to use violent extremism as an instrument of policy the government of pakistan and most especially the pakistani army and. jeopardizes not only the prospect of our strategic partnership but pakistan's opportunity to be a respected nation with legitimate regional in floor in his speech to the senate mullen accused pakistan's intelligence agency isiah of colluding with the kani insurgent group the u.s. has long been aware of the fact that pakistan may be assisting insurgents but mall in statement is the first of its kind it's cost furious reactions in pakistan where authorities have denounced the claims and pointed to the country's own bosses and the war on terror thirty thousand pakistanis it is well kn

u.s. was funneling money into pakistan finally money and they had konnie supporting people like osama bin laden who are all trying to end the foreign occupation of this country now that it's the u.s. government that's doing the occupying the tables are turned but the economy and those people in pakistan and afghanistan that are trying to rid this country of foreign occupation are operating entirely consistently and say us empower that saying hey now that we're in the occupiers instead of the suv union we want you to start killing your own people we want you to start destabilizing things it's the hypocrisy right here in washington what do you think about that stephen because i read the pakistani government's really put into type position here because its own people being killed by american drones as america goes over the sovereign border of pakistan on a daily basis going ahead. in the long run i am sure is correct because i think what could happen is one of several possible futures and said because american and pakistani interests are so different you know afghanistan with regard to suppor

u.s. pakistan relations. and. if i can go to you considering the conversation we heard between jacob in steven before we went to the break it sounds like an a.o.l. exaggerate a little bit just for discussion's sake here is that the u.s. has to actually destroy pakistan to win in afghanistan. well i don't think i mean that superficially looks like that but no not just to not only destroy it maybe even invaded it one point ok because regime change seems to be a popular flavor of this year go ahead i don't think that you know the rebels that they should have my view at all either like i said i we did for exact even used a word for exaggeration exaggeration for a conversation think general yes go ahead are you saying is i'm going to exaggeration and misrepresented misrepresentation i should go right ahead. right i don't think that you know u.s. can despite what it wants despite the divergence i don't think that that should be on the cards that ought to be in the cards or it is on the cards it would be far too risky a

u.s. and pakistan relationship. because american and pakistani interests are so different you know afghanistan and with regard to support for these terrorist groups we could see the move of american policy from alliance with pakistan which is a normal alliance or it's annoyance of which both sides lie to each other it's like a very bad marriage where both sides are unfaithful to the other two containment we could see america moving towards a continuing continue but i don't think that's going to happen i think it's most doctors don't need to understand they need a miracle a very good relationship with we culturally politically there's no imperial ambitions there are we trying to get out we're trying to punish the people who attacked the united states we've done some most of that and there's a lot of arguing for getting out very quickly certainly obama and much of the right ministry you know the republicans want to get out of office or very quickly jake if you want to jump in there. steven the government's been killin

in pakistan a dozen al qaeda linked suspects have been arrested after afghanistan demanded the u.s. put more pressure on islamabad to fight terrorism but it's not enough to eliminate thoughts in america that pakistan's government is sheltering terrorists some in washington are even ready to support action against islamabad as can reports. the drums of war beating loud and clear washington calls pakistan a safe haven for terrorists we cannot hear the news coming across the border attacking our forces attacking afghanistan afghanistan east and then disappearing back into a safe haven. economy network for one acts as a veritable arm of pakistan's internal services intelligence agency pakistan is furious over the accusations calling them unsubstantiated and saying that washington came very close to losing a major ally in its war on terror if you talk about links i'm quite sure c.e.o. says things that many terrorist organizations around the world which by which we mean intelligence things over the last ten years pakistan has repeatedly compromised its own sovereignty to help the americans
