Since 1954, when Pakistan formally joined the American camp at the height of the Cold War, the lynchpin of the relationship was that between the Pentagon and the Pakistan Army, with military hardware, role in U.S.-led pacts and the American base in Peshawar serving as its mainstay. www.gulf-news.com /Articles/opinion.asp?ArticleID=88182   (2722 words)
