Obama's Pakistan gamble falls flat Empty Obama's Pakistan gamble falls flat

Obama invited the president of the "Major Non-NATO Ally" to the NATO summit, hoping that would induce said Ally to reopen supply routes to Afghanistan. But Pakistan is playing hardball, and Obama is now openly talking about tensions between the US and Pakistan. The uneasy marriage is fast heading towards divorce. The US has no prenup either -- Pakistan's ISI will likely use the American money and weapons it has against American forces as they prepare to leave Afghanistan in Vietnam-like imminent collapse.
