Who is Loosing Patience, Pakistan or US


US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta has said that US has reached its limits with Pakistan, he repeated criticism of Pakistan's inaction, which he appeared to signal a somewhat tougher stance and a suggestion that the U.S. is becoming even more willing and quick to strike terrorist targets inside Pakistan. 

A senior U.S. official acknowledged Thursday that the recent increase in drone strikes on insurgents in Pakistan is due in part to frustration with Islamabad. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive operations.

Despite repeated drone attacks, which Pakistan sees as a violation of a sovereign country, US continue blaming Pakistan of its inaction against safe heavens. US has also stopped Pakistan's coalition support fund which Pakistan has consumed. 

US frustration seems to be on Pakistan's not opening Nato supply route through Pakistan, which is most shortest and economical. Pakistan has blocked the supply route six month ago when, Pakistan thought, US attacked a well known Pakistani check post on Afghan border killing 27 Pakistani soldiers, which was established to stop terrorist crossing the Pak-Afghan border. Since than Pakistan has asked US to apologize Pakistan and assure that such deliberated incident would not happen once again for which US clearly said that he will neither apologize nor grantee the occurrence of such an incident in future.

Pakistan was frustrated once again when US started drone attacks in Pakistani areas including mosques, houses and funerals on daily basis killing more than 60 persons in a week.

Pakistan immediately called on US to stop such an attacks and called US ambassador in Foreign office and recorded her protest.

Pakistan is also frustrated over activities of the US embassy in Pakistan, few days ago two embassy persons along with two Pakistanis were caught  with a large cache of weapons while they were coming from Pakistani tribal areas.

Pakistani authorities are also frustrated on the illegal activities of US persons in Pakistan, last year Davis Raymond was caught by police after he killed two persons in Lahore and while running killed third person. 

Pakistani People are once again feeling betrayed by US, as they were first betrayed during Soviet-Afghan war in 80s. US sought help from Pakistan with a promise to help it in any distress but now when Pakistani economy has sunk deep and facing crisis of fuel and energy crisis, US is dictating its terms and conditions over Pakistan by forcing him not to get any gas or electricity from Iran.
