Mon, Jul 6 09:19 AMWashington, July 6 (IANS) After months of trying to persuade Islamabad to shift its focus
from India, the US now says Pakistan has done 'pretty well' in meeting the twin threats from
India and the growing threat from insurgency.
'They're actually doing pretty well,' Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs
of Staff told CBS channel?s 'Face the Nation' programme Sunday when asked how
Pakistan?s efforts against the Taliban had picked up at US behest over the last couple of
months.
'In fact, they've actually made a lot of progress, taken significant military steps, had a
significant impact and moved in a positive direction.'
Basically Pakistan Chief of Army Staff, General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, is 'doing what he
told me he would do,' he said noting he had engaged the Pakistani general many times.
