not been mentioned is that of pakistan. we talk about iran getting the bomb. pakistan already has the bomb and who can be 100% sure the fundamentalists in that country have not infiltrated the army, maybe infiltrated the units guarding the nuclear stores. the prospect of an al qaeda-type group getting control of a nuclear weapon is very unsettling. >> well, that's a cheery note to begin the q & a on. we have just a few few minutes for questions. given the shortage of time with questions, those of you who have a question, you can state it in 15 seconds or less, i will give you your first opportunities. then those that with a 30-second question then we'll work up to those who have minute questions and for those of you who have a four-hour statement, we'll see if we can get to that. 15-second questions. this gentleman here. >> if iran gets a nuclear bomb, do you believe it would use it against israel or some of its leaders? i'm not i'm. >> i'm not aware of any of its leaders announcing they will use nuclear weapons. they were squabbling for power. they sent other people out to do the hum

criminal groups in north pakistan. who is the beneficiary? pakistani taliban. something has to be done about the analytic cold capability of the pakistani government. >> but the absence of the capture or killing of any of these big leaders still remains a very open question. nassari. e to dr. no practices a unique learning experience to hear these three it distinguished experts talking about that area which has been affecting us all this time. -- i am a pakistan american league. the comments about the army and the area of disconnect. thently, in pakistan, entire higher echelon of the army, i found them converging with total consensus. they were really speaking with one voice. sometimes, -- that is because of the politicians statements and other things that irritate them. other than that, they're working together in an army unit. they were working closely with this administration. he might be -- which we don't. reward to terrorism. the enemy is faceless. even the superpowers have generally failed in this territory. given a timeline or a timeframe, our closure of this war is very difficu

in pakistan. >> can i add to that? >> sure. >> the real problem -- there's the problem what they can do under a -- with a nuclear threat that is credible, which gives them a great deal of freedom, which is one of the reasons that if they actually get it, you can expect the saudis to have one, we now have the saudis so scared they're cooperating with israel. because they don't want these other lunatics to be armed in ways they aren't, because while they dislike us, we're down the road enemy. we're an enemy right now because we're there. but they've got plenty of other muslims to kill before they get around to us. >> yes, sir, right here.

primarily for us at the time india and pakistan, two countries that have intense interest in afghanistan which is the subject of his new book. and bruce and i came to brookings around the same time. he is a 30 year -- 29 year i guess, better and of the intelligence community, not just cia, but he also did significant stands at the national security council staff in the white house working both on the middle east and on south asia. and he's not only a superb analyst, but i can attest that he is a very good diplomat policymaker as well. and he runs our intelligence project your in the foreign policy program. so let's get started just with bruce giving you the short version of what is a book much meatier than the thinness of it would suggest. it's packed with information, a lot of which was new to me, and it has a very powerful thesis, which bruce, if you would share with the group and then we will take it from there. >> thank you for being here. thank you for that very kind introduction. thank all of you for coming. "what we won" is a book about a successful intelligence operation. the war

, "pakistan's raise." so with those records i will not stand between you and the speaker, and i'm pleased to come -- and ask him to please come up and present your book. >> thank you very much. thank you very much. it's a great privilege and honor to be here and to see many friends and for so many of to us be able to find time. in the beginning i also mention i'm not -- i'm really thankful to carnegie and frederick, an old friend and his words have been guiding many of us. his courageous writings were a source of inspiration for scholar, and i'm thankful to the organization here. this is a newer organization, a think tank, advocacy group, and the one group -- one different thing about this organization primarily pakistani americans and benefiting from the guidance of many scholars of south asia descent. many of the scholars and they are -- they believe in making pakistan a progressive state and also building the u.s., pakistan relations. so thank you very much and i wish you best of luck in your endeavours. to first give you a gist of the main arguments of my book, if i may call i

the cases in pakistan the prime ministers became prime minister after an accident. if you become prime minister and if you are asked to make the recommendation of the prime minister pragmatically what a something specifically the three or four steps you will do to bring this kind of terrorism and instability to a close? thank you. >> thank you very much. you are right it is an issue but the reason i would really like pakistan to thoroughly investigate and figure out who killed benazir bhutto because in the absence of a very clear answer it continues to become more popular and is those who are behind the killings think they can continue to kill and get away with it. we have seen in the recent past many of the politicians were killed. people of the national party the pashtun in that area, many of the leaders, there was a very well-known member of the pakistani parliament a christian leader who was a member of the cabinet also in the case of benazir bhutto we don't know who killed her. he was killed by his own guard. he said he were supporting a hindu girl who had committed blasphem

black men in prison, that is white supremacy. >> next a discussion about pakistan's efforts in combating terrorism in north waziristan. this area has been a safe haven for militants goods. posted by the atlantic council, this is 19 minutes. -- posted by the atlantic council, this is 90 minutes. sorry about that. >> good morning everyone. i am the director of the south asia center at the atlantic council, and on behalf of my colleagues at the center and on behalf of our president, i would like to welcome all of you to this very interesting session on the situation in north waziristan. it is entitled on waziristan. i also want to welcome part of our audience that is not in the same room, in another room, and we will be taking questions from them, and i would like to welcome the c-span audience, watching us at home or in the office or whatever they are watching from. so thank you all for being here. to be aonly supposed quite season in washington in august, but that is one of those washington myths about like the 30-minute commute everyone has. i am delighted that we are looking a

back. he had mentioned in his experience working in the prime minister's office that pakistan's 50% of all the problems can be resolved if you get an honest and an efficient and a competent prime minister. because some of the things are very, very basic. for instance, and that's my idea, the first and foremost will be rooting out corruption. and that can only happen if you instill a form of accountability. this cannot happen overnight, but some of the things are very basic. as soon as the north, a major case of corruption, there's no dearth of those in the political arena, in the civilian arena. they go after them in a very strong fashion. that's the first thing. the second thing would be, which i mentioned, of keeping pakistan's religious identity intact but taking pakistan towards what we call -- where we had in the most famous speech saying whether you go to a mosque or a church or to a hindu temple, state has nothing to do with it. this was 1946 and not a small intellectual thinking in the corner of a dream world. he was the most popular leader that pakistan produced. people lo

bookkeeping. nobody had any idea who the enemy was. no one realized that pakistan was playing both sides of the fence and still are. you start from that base, of course, you are not going to know how many arms are in the hands of the afghan army at this stage. we didn't do our homework for seven years. it is a little hard in the conflict to start catching up in the ninth conflicts. >> why is it so hard to build an army in a country like afghanistan? >> that is a good question. the soviets in the 1980's actually built an afghan air force which is three or four times larger than what we built in afghanistan over the last decade. that is amazing to me. why could the soviets train afghans the fly airplanes and not us? couldn't we get russian manuals and teach them in russian or something like that? it comes down to a question of resources. for the longest time, no resources went to afghanistan. it went to iraq. we started flowing the resources in 2009 and 2010, we impose a timeline of how long that was going to be. we can still pull this out. all along the way, the day we went into afg

much as i remember there was a long discussion and a lot of talk on building pakistan and there were efforts to spread the sufi tradition. i'm not really sure what exactly are the concrete steps that states can take in terms of changing their societal outlook and the nomenclature of the society. we talk about spreading sufi tradition and there are efforts there is an equal amount of resistance to that. a progressive society probably is sometimes a national consequence of a lot of other steps you have taken that he would have mentioned it in terms of education reform and all that stuff. however efforts can bring much benefit. taliban and pakistan's zone of comfort as opposed to the pakistani taliban. i'm still wondering what exactly was the reaction of taliban on pakistan's decision to site where the united states post 11 -- post-9/11? if they felt that kind of betrayal than i would assume that their reaction should have been, there should have been some sort of position within them and wouldn't that create attention against the state of pakistan? >> both very good questions. they fel
