^ difference being Pakistan’s interest in such dealings have been to extend the conflict while the US interest is to end it.

No, Pakistan wants a resolution that involves a govt that isnt a threat to Pakistan. Americans want a govt that isnt a threat to American interests. Both want the same thing. Why would Pakistan want to prolong a war? That makes no sense. Pakistan’s interest is in seeing an Afghanistan that is relatively stable and not a threat to Pakistan.
