These statement are meant for internal consumption in Pakistan and don’t reflect the reality of Pakistan’s positions. The US has paid for the Paki military for at least a decade - we know it, they know it - the last thing they want to see is for that source of funding to dry up, especially in light of a significant insurgency movement in Pakistan. No question that there are bad guys in their military, but the ones that don’t want to lose their jobs or see their country even more overrun by knuckleheads out number them. They’ve got a good reason to worry, so playing “good cop/bad cop” is an important strategy.
