the pakistan tell a ban. it is a frankenstein have the taliban movement that has turned against pakistan. it is very difficult as an outsider, especially one sitting on massachusetts avenue to get much ground troops. my suspicion is that very careful operation that those after parts of the palace of the pakistan have turned on the pakistani state. very carefully it does not go after terrorists and militants in that area which have long connections to the is high, most notably the high connie clan which also operates in this area. i think what we are seeing in pakistan is the gradual realization. i think that at the same time they know better than many of us how big is. and not a reasonable strategy is to -- which means in the in that as mrs. clinton wrote in her book a package and we will continue to encourage poises states on the zero that there will only buy non pakistan the spree do you think that the u.s. special forces szigeti osama bin lot and focused on that problem. >> what is clearly focused the paki

in pakistan there are agencies. so behind that faÇade also are many criminal organizations that are operating. this suits them in a big way. the same in afghanistan. in one case i was told that in one area we realize there were five girls schools it was not the taliban. he was a member of the construction company. a girls school everyone will say taliban has reconstructed. the religious angle is not there or the debtor phenomenon is linked to all these issues in a significant fashion but all the factors the most important one is also a big fashion. it in karachi for example they were able to unearth a training school that is not a suicide bombing training school. in karachi this was meant to teach you how to rob a bank to the seniormost police officer who was able to unearth that was killed in karachi. that is a very critical issue for us to look at. the third one is the whole issue of these two words -- the frontier state of course is this tribal belt farm where they are able to -- there's no international border.

pakistan wants f-16s or pakistan wants modern police stations. you can rather than -- price of one f-16, you build 30 new modern pli stations and not only about salary but a policy choice and those that provide pakistan with the weapons, they have a choice. i think most likely the best chance i will have is to be able at some stage advise the prime minister. i love my job as an academic and love to be a professor and writer so there's no chance that i'll ever become a prom bime minister but if i get a chance to advise and i quote a pakistani friend who served in high positions and i'll actually record him because i'm mentioning him, very bright pakistani foreign service officer who was here on a u.s. scholarship a couple of years ago, went 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
