The Pakistani government's been pretty **** helpful to us, actually. It's hard to be our ally publicly when about 95% of your population hates us. Being India's BFF doesn't win us a lot of points with those folks either. Throw in the odd drone attack on My Emaciated Arranged Tribal Wedding, and we're about as popular as Osama is here.
So whenever they play ball with us it's risking either electoral death or literal death at the hands of the ISI. I might keep a few chips back in that situation as well. (And before the armchair patriots get their old glory panties in a bunch, explanation is not the same as justification, so don't go all false equivalence sanctimony).
