Omar, without first understanding why Pakistan behaves the way it does, your question may not be answered.
The policy-makers have to rely on political scientists such as the likes of Christine Fair. Not to be so hard on Fair, quite frankly, no one has yet to figure out the conundrum called Pakistan. Hence, circumstances and our belief that our Pakistani specialists are credible forced us into foolish policies initially.
Now, at least the policy-makers know that they can't trust our Pakistan experts, as a result the U.S. has no Pakistan policy
