00:04:23 Al qaeda is in pakistan.

Gen. Clark -

00:04:26 They are in yemen.

00:04:27 They are being supported.

00:04:29 , I think by sum elements.

00:04:32 Maybe rogue elements in the pakistani government.

00:04:34 Maybe there is communications with them.

00:04:35 And meanwhile the taliban are kind of pakistan's tool against the indians in afghanistan.

00:04:43 And our troops are in the middle of what what some people would say is a proxy war on the ground in afghanistan between india and pakistan.

Gen. Clark

00:05:33 There are two main efforts going on the counter insurgency is the main effort.

00:05:38 The first severity to go after al qaeda.

00:05:40 That is what we are doing with drone attacks and other work with pakistanis and doing it not only in pakistan but worldwide.

00:05:48 Secondly, what we are trying to do is get a resolution to the continuing struggle and sometimes armed conflict between india and pakistan.

00:05:57 And that needs more attention from the united states.

00:06:00 If we can work those two issues, I think afghanistan will eventually take care of itself.

00:06:05 The solution there has got to look at the larger issues, not just the taliban.
