WASHINGTON — The two top U.S. officials in Afghanistan have repeatedly visited Pakistan in recent weeks to ensure that the Pakistani army is prepared for any Taliban insurgents retreating from a new coalition military offensive, the Obama administration special envoy to the region said Wednesday. Richard Holbrooke, the administration’s chief coordinator for Afghanistan and Pakistan, said that Karl Eikenberry, the U.S. ambassador in Kabul, and his military counterpart, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, have consulted “fairly regularly” with Pakistani officials.
