Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Michael Mullen, commenting on the situation Afghanistan:
We’re seeing a greater number of insurgents and foreign fighters flowing across the border with Pakistan, unmolested and unhindered… We simply must all do a better job of policing the border region and eliminating the safe havens, which serve today as launching pads for attacks on coalition forces… The group that launched the attack trained in safe havens in Pakistan… We see this threat accelerating, almost becoming a syndicate of different groups who heretofore had not worked closely together… [See Financial Times, The Peninsula]
We should probably remind him they are freedom fighters… At least that’s what Pakistan told India… What goes around comes around!
