Osama is in Pakistan: Mullen
2010-07-26
Autoedited by Rantburg
[Tolo News] The US Joint Chiefs of Staff told reporters in a press conference held in Kabul on Sunday that Osama bin Laden is in safe havens in Pakistain.

US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen said that bad boyz have sanctuaries on Pakistain's soil and Pakistain's intelligence organisation in some cases helps them carry out attacks.

Pakistain is the main haven for the bad boyz and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) provides them with aid to carry out attacks in other countries, he said.

The US is in an effort to launch attacks against rebels in Pakistain, he added. "They have havens that still exist in Pakistain, not for the leaders of these organisations, but also many others, and it is the focus of this overall mission to eliminate those safe havens.

"And we do it in support of those who are executing the mission in Pakistain as obviously as well as with the continued efforts here in Afghanistan. But it is our intent and I believe that we will eliminate those safe havens as we execute this mission," he said.

While saying that Pakistain is not fighting honestly against the bad boyz, Admiral Mullen highlighted that the US will act seriously against sources backing insurgency.

The United States of America has done many things in the fight against terrorism in Pakistain and further improvements take time, he said.

#4  When you're the Chairman, what you know isn't necessarily what you say in public.

Unless of course you are sending a serious message on behalf of the administration. Note that Mullen is speaking in Kabul, after a few months during which the Karzai government and Pakistan were flirting with one another.

Mind like a steel trap that Mullen. After nine years, virtually NOTHING escapes him, NOTHING!

#2  Turning a 'haven' to glass may not have an immediate effect, but it is a lot like terminex.
Fewer pilgrims go to the gravesite.
