Summary US officials believe the country's relationship with Pakistan has been seriously damaged.
After a year of deteriorating relations between US and Pakistan, American officials are gearing up for a limited. counter-terrorism alliance with Islamabad that will include restricted drone strikes against militants and a reduced aid, a media report reported today.With the US facing the reality that its broad security partnership with Pakistan is over, American officials are seeking to salvage a more limited counter-terrorism alliance that they acknowledge will complicate their ability to launch attacks against extremists and move supplies into Afghanistan, the New York Times reported quoting American and Pakistani officials.Under this limited alliance, America will be forced to restrict drone strikes, limit the number of its spies and soldiers on the ground and dish out more to move supplies through Pakistan to allied troops in Afghanistan.
