Abstract:

To garner the full counterterrorism cooperation the U.S. requires from Islamabad, Washington must develop a realistic and hard-nosed policy that takes on Pakistan's ambivalence toward going head-to-head with terrorists. Washington must be diligent in pursuing policies that promote the safety and security of Islamabad's nuclear assets.
