Graham Suggests U.S. Military Action Inside Pakistan In Response To ISI Aid To Haqqani Network
Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Adm. Mike Mullen said Thursday that Pakistans spy agency played a direct role in an attack on the U.S. Embassy and NATO headquarters in Kabul last week. With ISI support, Mullen said, referring to Pakistans Inter-Services Intelligence, Haqqani operatives planned and conducted that truck bomb attack, as well as the assault on our embassy. Today on Fox News Sunday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said the United States should put all options on the table in response. Thats a pretty stunning statement, host Chris Wallace said and repeatedly asked Graham to clarify whether he was referring to military action against Pakistan. I will leave it up to the experts, Graham said, adding, but if the experts believe that we need to elevate our response, they will have a lot of bipartisan support on Capitol Hill. Watch the clip:
