Administration split over intel on Pakistan ties to Haqqani Network
The Obama administration is sharply divided over U.S. policy toward Pakistan with a faction emerging that wants to sharply curtail U.S. drone strokes as a way to coax Pakistan into greater anti-terrorism cooperation.
A second faction led by outgoing Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Adm. Mike Mullen and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, favor keeping up the relentless drone attacks on Al Qaida leaders and members that have been the centerpiece of the administration's war on terrorism.
