Ralph Peters: AFGHAN REALITY: PAKISTAN'S DOUBLE GAME

So Pakistan is playing both a short game and a long one. It cooperates with us against al Qaeda - and doesn't want to take the rap for another major terror attack in the West. At the same time, it makes sure that the Taliban has "survival rations."
