>> relationship with pakistan already on the rocks, the white house is choosing its words about this carefully. kristen welker is on the north lawn . kristen , what's the administration saying?
>> reporter: good evening, lester. the white house is being quite measured in its response, in part because white house officials don't have all of the facts right now. and also because the u.s. relationship with pakistan is so incredibly complicated. here's what white house officials had to say earlier today in a statement that we have saying "senior u.s. civilian and military officials have been in touch with their pakistani counterparts from islamabad, kabul and washington to express our condolences, our desire to work together to determine what took place, and our commitment to the u.s.- pakistan partnership". now still some analysts say that this whole incident might put is back to square one, back to the days right after osama bin laden was killed. now, secretary of state hillary clinton visited pakistan last month and urged top officials there to get tough on militants. some analysts believe this latest incident could undo any gains that were made during that visit. now, analysts watching this quite closely in fact one telling me that this could be a "catastrophic blow to the u.s. relationship with pakistan " although another expert warns it is still very early and might be too early to know what the full impact of this will be. lester?
>> kristen , thank you.
