Pakistan is playing safe when it comes to terror and US. On the same issue, US president Mr. Barack Obama wrote a letter to Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, saying – ” The US would no longer tolerate Islamabad’s reluctance to act against Lashkar-e-Taiba and other jihadi groups. ” According to a report in , Obama also warned Pakistan that its use of insurgent groups for policy goals “cannot continue” and called for closer collaboration against all extremist groups.

According to the Post report, US national security advisor Jim Jones recently travelled to Pakistan to deliver a message – ” if Pakistan cannot deliver, the United States may be impelled to use any means at its disposal to rout insurgents based along Pakistan’s western and southern borders with Afghanistan”.

President Barack Obama declared Tuesday, announcing he was ready to spell out war plans virtually sure to include tens of thousands more U.S. troops. It is still in America’s vital national interest to “dismantle and destroy” al-Qaida terrorists and extremist allies. “I intend to finish the job.” he said. He later said, “I can tell you, as I’ve said before, that it is in our strategic interest, in our national security interest to make sure that al-Qaida and its extremist allies cannot operate effectively.We are going to dismantle and degrade their capabilities and ultimately dismantle and destroy their networks. And Afghanistan’s stability is important to that process.”
