Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, leader of the opposition in National Assembly, said that the present war on terror Pakistan was a result of U.S. using Pakistan in the most abominable manner and weakened it to the extent that almost all institutions are facing crises. He further says Pakistan's pro-U.S. policies have destroyed the economy, the living, and peace. "It will not be far from truth to say that America has incapacitated us by injecting the sweet poison of aid."

There has been disquiet about Pakistan's role in Afghanistan for several years now. After the attack on the Indian Embassy in Kabul in 2008, Washington had pointed to ISI complicity in the incident. But American unhappiness with Pakistan has never been so directly expressed as now. Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar went a step further and warned the US that if such allegations continue, it "will lose an ally". And Interior Minister Rehman Malik specifically warned the US against taking any unilateral action against the Haqqanis in Pakistani territory. Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani remarked last week, the U.S. needed Pakistan in Afghanistan, observing that the Americans "can't live with us. They can't live without us."
