WASHINGTON: The Pentagon has declared that it had “seen some success” as a result of the ongoing military operation in North Waziristan.
The department’s spokesperson, Rear Admiral John Kirby, said that Pakistan’s military had the right and responsibility to defend its people and its borders. “They have been taking the fight to the enemy inside the country,” Kirby said in a favorable statement.
He added that the two countries shared a common threat, and resultantly the US continued to pursue a constructive relationship with Pakistan.The US had pressurised Pakistan to take actions against the militants, especially the notorious Haqqani Network. The Pentagon had earlier announced that there was a constant communication between the Isaf forces and Pakistani counterparts on various levels. Without going into the details, the department spokesperson said both the countries would maintain their communication.
The spokesperson said that the operation that the Pakistani military was conducting was theirs to conduct, and that the Pentagon would not “prejudge how they are doing that in this particular case.”
