Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the US has invested in an effort to keep Pakistan’s nuclear weapons secure and that Pakistan has “taken significant steps in recent years, so I’m comfortable.”
“My biggest concern is that if Pakistan gets to a point where it implodes, you’ve got a country that could be an Islamist, theocratic country with nuclear weapons which could both use them and proliferate them. One of our goals is to make sure that doesn’t happen.”
What price will the people of Pakistan have to pay for Mullen’s “comfort?”
