Currently Anne Patterson, the U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan is the chief U.S. diplomat in Islamabad. Since the Afghanistan War (1978-1992), the Ambassador, along with other personnel such as the Central Intelligence Agency station chief, has also been involved with the situation in Afghanistan. Since the 9/11 attack, the relationship has become even more challenging.

Ambassador Patterson said, in September 2008, that Pakistan has, in the context of counterterrorism, "different priorities" than the U.S., is "certainly reluctant to take action" against the leadership of the Afghan insurgency.^[1]
