Ok. What about Pakistan? Oh shit, did I just blow your argument to hell? So sorry!

Aw, downvoted, for pointing out that the US carries out drone assaults in sovereign territories without consent.

Well, bury your head in the sand all you like.

Come on. The PK government is perfectly happy to say one thing to its population, another to the US and a third to the Talibans. It's just like European governments acting incensed at the notion of extraordinary renditions (like they didn't know about before) or at NSA spying (like they don't do the same thing). It's called "hypocrisy" and it's a common policy tool.
Downvoted for being wrong. Pakistan works with the US -- they don't want to appear to be working with the US.
I am not aware about now, but there was a while when Pakistan authorities denied US land crossing its territory in its way to supply Afghanistan. That divergence seemed pretty real.
