he was ambassador to pakistan a close friend of pakistan. you can read the book and see the distaste he has for pakistan because he thinks the pakistanis -- there are simply no doubt about it. that is why have some doubts about the nomenclature. but still we know for a fact from various studies that the majority of taliban either had moved to pakistan with their families. recently there was a mullah who was killed who was the taliban leader who was killed most likely by pakistani taliban because military intelligence is now pushing them. that is the commitment they have given to the united states. however in the initial years they ignored the option to come to pakistan from their point of view. in afghanistan they would have been killed. pakistan gave him space and it's my guess and estimate without any direct source in this case, i think maybe now 100 afghan taliban leaders are around that number came to pakistan and brought their families. at that time they talk to pakistan that pakistan should have stood by them but despite that they save

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

his ideals are of pakistan based on progressive pakistan. pakistan gone very far from the ideals. i think those in the position of power can do small things through which to take pakistan back towards some ofy(](mhkr @r% issues will be related to policy issues, but others will be linked to education ensuring that your textbook and that point any prime minister can do. to ensure, review the curriculum and take out some of the words and the bigotry and part andlv parcel of the pakistani textbook. that a prime minister can do. second thing would be after accountability and corruption would be these education reforms and the third thing i think will be a larger issue, which is a peace process with india. i am convinced and i think pakistani leadership is also convinced you'll not be able to get rid of pakistani militant groups or tackle some of the radicalization unless pakistan and india both come towards sustainable peace process. there are signs of that. i think it is a pakistani security establishment which also has to be convinced. not only the pakistani political leadership can

pakistan is the only country in the world where polio infections increased last year and according to the world health organization that's a direct result of president obama bragging all over the place for political gain here's the story remember when the obama administration gave their spiel about how they killed osama bin laden in pakistan and of course you do president obama was all over the t.v. bragging about it hollywood even made a movie about it which come on is free to kill this white house officials really give information about how they got bin laden to every media outlet they came across they leaked so much information that dianne feinstein even called for a criminal investigation into the leaks but of course they were bragging all over the place with all the bad news about the economy and a crappy foreign policy everyone in the obama administration was incredibly thrilled to have this blockbuster story to make them look like heroes again the problem is that a lot of the leaked information gave the taliban and pakistan a lot of pluto's as to how the cia operates over there
