Washington: Robert Gates, the former US Defence Secretary who was the strongest supporter of Pakistan, believes that Islamabad is not an ally of America and it will not give up its policy of supporting terrorists.
“Although I would defend them in front of Congress and to the press to keep the relationship from getting worse — and endangering our supply line from Karachi — I knew they were really no ally at all,” Gates writes in his forthcoming book titled ‘Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War’. Referring to his visit in January 2010 – his second and the last one to Pakistan – wherein he met the then President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and Army Chief Gen Ashfaq Pervez Kayani, Gates writes that he returned convinced that Islamabad would not give up its policy of supporting terrorists.
