Jokes aside, the only real "joke" is that the US is only now making such open accusations...as if they did not know this already..at least for the past decade. Maybe this shows the sheer frustration evident amongst even the most ardent supporters of the Pakistani military(as Admin Mullen was till a while back)
Correspondents say that during his tenure, Adm Mullen has been a forceful advocate for maintaining dialogue with Pakistan and with its military establishment.
He was said to be close to the Pakistani army's chief of staff, Gen Ashfaq Kayani. Indeed, Adm Mullen is thought to have made more visits to Pakistan than any other senior US official or chief of staff in recent times.
But, correspondents say, the latest comments are yet more evidence of his patience wearing thin, and suggest he is prepared to be more outspoken as his term in office draws to a close.
The funny thing is that Kayani was the Ex-Head of the ISI, now he is the Chief of staff of the entire Pakistani army. The ISI (unlike other nation's intelligence agencies) is part of the Pakistani Army and officers gravitate back and forth. Most of Pakistani military head honchos were ex heads of the ISI. Often western journalists make the mistake of thinking that the ISI and the Army are two separate entities...while they are not.
"With ISI support, Haqqani operatives planned and conducted a truck bomb attack , as well as the assault on our embassy," said Adm Mullen.
"We also have credible intelligence that they were behind the 28 June attack against the Inter-Continental Hotel in Kabul and a host of other smaller but effective operations."
In other words, Mullen is probably pissed at Kayani and is having his last say now that his(Mullen's) tenure is coming to an end.
