US cant live with or without us, says PM
KARACHI: Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Friday said that the United States could not effectively fight the ongoing war in Afghanistan without Pakistans assistance, DawnNews reported.
They cant live with us. They cant live without us, Gilani told reporters in Karachi.
So, I would say to them that if they cant live without us, they should increase contacts with us to remove misunderstandings.
The prime minister also emphasised that the US should avoid issuing statements unacceptable to the Pakistani public.
No compromise would be acceptable on Pakistans sovereignty, he said, adding that, a stable Afghanistan was in the interests of Pakistan.
Gilani was responding to Senate testimony by the outgoing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, who said Pakistans Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI) was closely tied to the Haqqani network.
Mullen said on Thursday that the ISI played a role in the September 13 attack on the US embassy in Kabul, supporting militants known as the Haqqani network.
That network, Mullen said, is a veritable arm of the ISI.
