He's not right though. While Pakistan may turn a blind eye to some terrorist organizations (Haqqani), almost every terrorist attack in Pakistan has been orchestrated in Afghanistan where the US has spent a trillion $ and has not succeeded at all. There are numerous reports of Indian RAW funding in Afghanistan as well - and contrary to popular belief, the USA doesn't want stability in this region at all.
The problem now is that Pakistan has controlled terrorism in the past few years, fenced its borders and has decided to move towards China (and Russia) instead of relying on US. This is irking the U.S a great deal and it will try to put pressure by one way or another.
I think the general in charge of middle east operations put it perfectly when they captured Bin Laden. When you have the most wanted terrorist in the world living within miles of a military compound of an ally you have to question if they are playing you for money while hiding terrorists or they are plain incompetent. Neither is worth the money in foreign aid being given to them. Internal terrorism in Pakistan is its own issue.
