Islamabad dismayed by 'dithering' US

Islamabad dismayed by 'dithering' US
The view that the United States will eventually abandon Pakistan, leaving it alone to fend off insurgent groups and suicide bombers, is pervasive in Islamabad. And when US President Barack Obama appears perplexed over questions on Afghanistan such as "How many troops?" and "For what purpose?", it does nothing to instill confidence in a besieged ally. The fine line between "rethinking" and "dithering" is fast fading. - Zahid U Kramet (Oct 22, '09)
