Its a hot topic between many analysts of Pakistan, US and other nations in war that whether or not Haqqani Network (which is claimed to be responsible for holding attacks against US and NATO forces in Afghanistan) is being supported by Pakistan's ISI or not. However, we need to go very optimistic here by only considering that they are supported by Pakistan.
To analyze we just need to go back in the history at the time of Jihad against Soviet Union. Leader of the Haqqani Network, Jalaluddin Haqqani was cultivated as a unilateral asset by CIA at that time to war against Soviet Union. He is being funded with millions of dollars to fight against the soviets by USA. He was considered as the most closest partner to USA among the sub-groups of Mujahideen in Afghanistan.
However, after 9/11 the table has turned the table around and now Haqqani network is considered as the most dangerous to US Armed Forces in Afghanistan and currently it is being said that Pakistan is using Haqqani Network as its proxy army in Afghanistan to conduct attack against US arm forces.
If we analyze few recent discussions we can see that there is no chit chat about al-Qaeda but the pro-taliban Haqqani Network, who fights for independence against alien forces only in Afghanistan. On the contrary, it is said al-Qaeda is an international organization conducting attacks in different countries specially in western countries.
The thing to note is, after the death of Osama bin Laden and capturing and death of many other important commanders of al-qaeda with the help of Pakistan, al-qaeda is said to be broken and weaker than ever before. But now pro-taliban Haqqani network, is left in front of US carrying attacks against US forces in Afghanistan. Hence, pressurizing Pakistan to act against the Haqqani Network for Afghanistan.
But for Pakistan which is already in trouble with internal and external militant groups carrying terrorist attacks in Pakistan which includes the TTP, all the Laskhars, BLA, even the political parties' militant wing. How can Pakistan act against Haqqani's on US demand and add one more in their enemy's list. This is just not possible and feasible. However, a peaceful solution could be for US to deal with Haqqanis is to just get out the Afghanistan, as Haqqanis are only fighting for their freedom. Thats it
