Graham Suggests U.S. Military Action Inside Pakistan In Response To ISI Aid To Haqqani Network

Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Adm. Mike Mullen said Thursday that Pakistan’s spy agency played a direct role in an attack on the U.S. Embassy and NATO headquarters in Kabul last week. “With ISI support,” Mullen said, referring to Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence, “Haqqani operatives planned and conducted that truck bomb attack, as well as the assault on our embassy.” Today on Fox News Sunday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said the United States should “put all options on the table” in response. “That’s a pretty stunning statement,” host Chris Wallace said and repeatedly asked Graham to clarify whether he was referring to military action against Pakistan. “I will leave it up to the experts,” Graham said, adding, “but if the experts believe that we need to elevate our response, they will have a lot of bipartisan support on Capitol Hill.” Watch the clip:
