Obama’s Foreign Policy Points On Pakistan

Lets get straight down to Obama’s Foreign Policy Points on Pakistan:

• I’m confident that we can make sure that Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal is secure. Primarily, initially, because the Pakistani Army recognizes the hazards of those weapons falling into the wrong hands.
• I am gravely concerned about the situation in Pakistan, not because I think that they are immediately going to be overrun and the Taliban would take over in Pakistan.
• I’m more concerned that the civilian government there right now is very fragile and don’t seem to have the capacity to deliver basic services: schools, healthcare, rule of law, a judicial system that works for the majority of the people.
• As a consequence, it is very difficult for them (the government) to gain the support and the loyalty of their people.
• We need to help Pakistan, help Pakistanis.
• There is a recognition increasingly on the part of both the civilian government and the Army that this is their biggest weakness.
• On the military side, we are starting to see some recognition, just in the last few days, that the obsession with India as the mortal threat to Pakistan has been misguided and their biggest threat right now comes internally.
• Pakistani military is taking much more seriously the armed threat from militant extremists.
• We want to continue to encourage Pakistan to move in that direction. And we will provide them all of the cooperation that we can. We want to respect their sovereignty, but we also recognise that we have huge strategic interests, huge national security interests in making sure that Pakistan is stable and that you don’t end up having a nuclear-armed militant state.
• I feel confident that that nuclear arsenal will remain out of militant hands.
