understanding. it is not a lateral action on the part of pakistan. there are operational reasons for these that i can't go into but the fact remains pakistan and the united states continue to remain in robust intelligence cooperation, we want to improve the relationship between our mill taerz in terms of going after the terrorists but we also have a case here, and that case is that there is too much mistrust of pakistan. yes, there is a history to it and we understand, for example under the musharraf regime, there wasn't cooperation. but the democratic government of pakistan has fully cooperated with the united states and secretary clinton being a nonled that. it is a process in which we need to overcome the burden of history, move forward. so there will be certain occasions when we will be taking a step back. but there will be many occasions when we will move forward together to eliminate terrorism which is the common enemy of both the united states and pakistan. >> all right, mr. ambassador. thank you so much for joining us here. >> always a pleasure being with you, suzanne.
