Pakistan working against U.S. in Afghanistan

In the United State’s war in Afghanistan one of the allies in the region is Pakistan but only in name. The Pakistani government is realistically trying to do as much as they can to prevent any creation of a strong Afghani government , which could then in the coming years ally them selves with Pakistan’s nemesis in the region, India. So while the U.S. government and the President are hoping that Pakistan will help the U.S. in the fight to rid Afghanistan of the Taliban, and al-Qaeda, they have no interest in doing so, and have in fact worked against a U.S. victory. The policy in the region is to have as much allied support as possible, but looking into the ties of the Pakistani government to the radical Afghani terrorist organizations suggests that the U.S. rid themselves of this impediment on the road to achieving the goal of the insurgence in Afghanistan.
