Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Event | Pakistan

The Carnegie Endowment South Asia Program invites you to attend: Pakistan-Conflicted Ally in the War on Terror In a new Policy Brief, Pakistan-Conflicted Ally in the War on Terror, Ashley Tellis contends that if the United States wants a stronger Pakistani commitment to the "War on Terror," it must first recognize that Pakistan's poor performance cannot be attributed simply to malfeasance by Pakistan's military elite. Tellis argues that Pakistani counterterrorism efforts have been impeded by Islamabad's military ineptitude, Pakistan's political deterioration, a lack of public support for "Washington's war," and the ineffective Afghan government. He says that the majority of Pakistani military officials, despite fears over domestic repercussions and long-term U.S. interests in the region, support operations aimed at defeating terrorism.
