WASHINGTON: US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen has said that the presence of the Haqqani sanctuaries potentially jeopardised the outcome of the war. “Without that (Pakistani action), we can’t succeed in the overall effort,”
He further said that Pakistan’s ISI intelligence agency had to sever all ties with the Haqqani militants, who allegedly operate out of sanctuaries in the country’s northwest. “I think that the ISI has to make the decision to strategically disengage.The ISI has been doing this, supporting proxies for an extended period of time,” he told an audience at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
