pakistan's point of view and pakistan concerns and america's views about pakistan had to be put out there. what we need is a honest discussion. for example the pakistanis have a legitimate question when they say why has american policy been so spasmodic? the pakistanis have another question when they say you sometimes give us private assurances that you do not keep. on the nuclear issue let me be very honest when pakistan assumed that line diamond we could go ahead with it, they immediately enforced all the sanctions. many administrations allow congress to regulate the relationship rather than being upfront in saying hey this is not right because the general show the kind of finesse and then in the end afghanistan was over and the congress had to be implemented. have an honest dialogue but then pakistan has to have some honest answers pretty can't say we are not making a bomb and then say by the way we just tested the bomb last weekend. we can't say all some of the blood never heard of him and then have him in pakistan. i think what we need is more candor in their relationship and is in b

pakistan's point of view and pakistan's concerns and american concerns about pakistan had to be put out there. what we need is an honest discussion. for example, pakistanis have a legitimate question when they say why has americans policy toward pakistan been so asthmatic. pakistanis -- so spasmodic. on the nuclear question, let us be very possible -- honest. the reagan administration turned a blind eye to liberally, and then at the end when pakistan knew that that blind i'd meant we could go ahead with it, they immediately put all the sanctions. many of the administrations allow congress to regulate instead of being upfront and say why are you doing this, this is not right. because they needed the general, so they kind of finessed things with him. and in the end, when it was over, the congressional relationship had to be implemented. but then pakistan wanted some honest answers. we cannot say we are not making a bomb, and then by the way we are just testing a bomb that we are not making. i think what we need is more candor in the relationship. it is not that what with those in islam a

pakistan's problem. and why is pakistan a problem? here is the reason, a country that was created with very little pride, discussion, and analysis. people forget, there's been an easy for 5,000 years, iran for several centuries or for millennia. pakistan is only 66 years old. so it has essentially a lot more than it has actual threats and challenges. india, for example. i understand that the pakistanis are concerned, but i like a history. i know that the american relationship to history is very unusual. the only country in the world where when somebody says that's history, he means that's irrelevant. [laughter] but -- [laughter] but in case it is important to understand. yes, india has never philosophically accepted the idea of pakistan, but it has not been responsible for initiating any of the wars in pakistan. let's be real about that. afghanistan is too weak and too poor to attack pakistan, most of the problems that pakistan sees itself and this psychological rather than real. the real problems are, we have not only 180 million peo

two in pakistan and two in yemen. once in pakistan are important to look at because there are elections in pakistan and a new prime minister was elected. number two was to come into that election and there were a lot of campaign programs against the drones. we followed most of the tribal areas where the drones drugs are being used to speak out against them. the fact that he came in number two is very significant and also is the fact that the one who came in number one is his first talk that he was totally against the use of jones and he had been calling up united states to stop using these. the first drone attack after the president's speech is one that was touted in the u.s. since the number two taliban pursuit was killed. the reporting from pakistan is very different than the reporting here. the reporting their says what happens when you killed a number two guy, you kill the number three guy because he becomes number two. so then we are starting to have talks and personnel is much more strenuous and they begin to ta

pakistan is major danger zone for us because of the terrorist presence in pakistan. you're right. the pakistani military, the government there has worked to protect u.s. facilities. the fact that consulate in lahore is essentially being closed, u.s. officials being pulled out is a major concern and one that raised a lot of eyebrows today. >> so, brett, i know you're manning the ship. you have special report at 6 p.m. eastern. we have people, good people, the best over at the white house to ask questions. since you won't be there personally, what would be your question today? >> you know, i was listening earlier, chris wallace i thought had a great question. i don't want to steal his. i would go down that same road, which would be looking at the latest fox news polls where it say as serious situation or phony scandal, 78% say benghazi is serious. 69% say nsa, doj, 59%, irs, 59%. listing these different scandals and then asking the president which one of those is a phony scandal? and to get his reaction to some of that. there are many specifics you can ask about. obama carry, the im

it's really big advantage for pakistan. if they play a positive role in providing all the help it can to stabilize afghanistan, because in the end, both afghanistan and pack tan have to live together. they have to learn to trust each other, and this is the main factor, that they have to live together. it is the most important point to build relationship which on a case to case should not only be discussed, but create a comprehensive study to counter those militants crossing from pakistan and those crossing from afghanistan to pakistan. also, president karzai has a great history, a friendship history with pakistan. i think president karzai still possesses that where he can use previous leverage and try to create a space and trust between two countries, which utilized by nato, united states and all other countries involved and because that have, you know, the 2014 date is approaching. >> indeed. good to get your analysis there. thank you very much indeed for that. national security expert speaking to us from islamabad. >> mor
