but mullen put in the time and believed he was making progress. >> holman: admiral mullen's tenure atentagon may be best remembered for his strong advocacy for ending the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. for 18 years, it barred homosexuals from serving openly. it ended last week, 18 months after mullen spoke out. >> no matter how i look at this issue, i cannot escape being troubled by the fact that we have in place a policy which forces young men and women to lie about who they are in order to defend their fellow citizens. >> holman: mark thompson is "time" magazine's defense reporter. >> mullen gave the president and secretary of defense robert gates all the four-star coverage they needed to push ahead with this, knowing that the nation's top military officer was in their camp. >> holman: today, at a time- honored ceremony at joint base myer in virginia, the chairman handed over his duties to army general martin dempsey. mullen began his military service at the u.s. naval academy in 1964. president obama honored that long service, in particular mullen's dedication to men an

mullen's statement was based on classified intelligence, including cell phones taken from the bodies of insurgents killed in the embassy attack. vahid brown, author of an unclassified report on the haqqani network, said not all of its operations are at the hand of pakistani intelligence. >> in so far as there is in specific attacks carried out by the haqqani network we could call them an occasional arm of the i.s.i. >> reporter: mullen's testimony was another setback to the already-rocky relationship with pakistan. >> pelley: david, i wonder, why did the white house reel this back in today? >> reporter: the white house and state department were unhappy mullen had been so blunt, so today they played the good cop to his bad cop which is ironic, because mullen has spent the past four years acting as pakistan's best friend in washington. >> pelley: david, thank you. polls show that a lot of republican voters are not satisfied with their choices for a presidential nominee and some are turning up the pressure on freshman governor chris christie of new jersey to get into the race. he heard

admiral mullen, i will start with you. what concrete steps are we taking to counter that maligned iranian influence in iraq? i know we have made it clear verbally that it is not acceptable, both of you have, but what are we doing about it? what can we do about it? >> i talked about the political channel for temporary effect. that temporary effect is still in place, shut it down significantly from where it was back in the summer. general austin is not sitting back at all in terms of his operations, and actually our support for iraqi security forces in these operations. along the lines of what you talk about, sadr and his group are not insignificant, but they are out liars. this is something from the standpoint of this is an area you wanti think the political leadership, and i know the prime minister understands this. i get the vacuum peace, but at some point in time, iraq has got to take charge of its own. iran is not going away. they have had influence there forever. over the course of my time in the region, which started

embassy in kabul mullen prompted many. here both of them actually prompting many to say that the pentagon is upping the ante with pakistan meanwhile right wing writers and pundits are openly calling for attacks on pakistan or for us to abandon our balance of support for both india and pakistan in their disputes as rick perry soham and at least suggested in the last republican debate. the economy network for one acts as a veritable arm of pakistan's internal services intelligence agency with i.s.i. support conny operatives planning the conduct of that truck bomb attack as well as the assault on our embassy we also have credible intelligence that they were behind the june twenty eighth attack on the intercontinental hotel in kabul and a host of other smaller but effective operations for more on this i'm joined by tom hayden former california state senator author educator one of the early co-founders of s.t.s. lifeline that activist welcome back thanks tom nice to be here thank you great to have you here with us excuse me jus

admiral mullen. the joint ied organization was created in 2006 to reduce or eliminate the effects of all forms of improvised explosive devices used against the u.s. and coalition forces. what is your overall assessment of how the organization is achieving its three-prong commission to attack this network and defeat the device and train the force? >> i think the joint ied force has been a tremendous success. i am not aware of the investment it has taken. when it was heavily focused although not exclusively on iraq, it had an enormous impact across all three of those missions sets. it is currently led by somebody who is -- who has been in the fight. it is still extremely difficult yet the enemy is shifting more and more to these spectacular attacks on the one hand and a very focused on ied implants. it is a -- it is a different ied said. we need to this organization to be in touch with the fight and to be able to respond as rapidly as we can. i appreciate the efforts on the part of many here in the sen

why did admiral mullen come out and say this publicly. >> first of all what admiral mullen said was only the latest of a number of public complaints by the united states about pakistan's alleged support for extremist groups. >> warner: blunter than anything. >> blunter and at a hard level in front of the u.s. senate. it has a lot more weight associated with it. this is a major shift in u.s. policy because as you mentioned none of this is is new. we knew it all along but we always calculated that you have to deal with this issue privately on the assumption that we need certain basic stability in pakistan-u.s. relations if we are to achieve even the minimal goal that we have in afghanistan. now the united states has decided to actually shift its calculus and deal with this issue publicly. therefore you have these public statements by high-level american officials. >> warner: so what, general, can the u.s. do about it? the one, what do you think of admiral mullen saying this publicly? where does this lead? two, the u.s. has been saying for a long time pakistan has to do more. what can actua

god bless them for that. >> and another shout out, we played a clip just a bit ago of mike mullen.o me at that armed services committee hearing, that mike mullen saying that this was just a matter of integrity, you could not ask people to lie about themselves and still meet the standards of the military code. but that was a signature moment, it took a year and a half for the pentagon to come along, but the chairman of the joint chiefs made a difference, i think. >> no. i can't agree with you more. that was a turning point moment when the chairman of the joint chiefs, admiral mike mullen, he's a very eloquent man, and a lot of credibility with members of congress, just said, this is wrong. we teach one of the central values of our military and the military is one of the few institutions left in america that still lives by values, is integrity and here we're asking people to lie about themselves. that i think affected a lot of people in both houses and both parties. so this is an unusual star. maybe a fifth star, to give to admiral mike mullen. >> indeed. joe lieberman, thank you ver

after leading the charge against "don't ask, don't tell," admiral mike mullen hands over the reins to army chief of staff today with an unusual and heartfelt thank you to his wife. >> you've always been my angel, always on my shoulder and i love you more than you can know. >>> and after months of insisting that he is not running for president, is chris christie having a change of heart? plus, the 2012 wives club. ann romney and anita perry taking on new roles in the campaign trail. will they be able to change the course of their husbands' campaigns? and good day, i'm andrea mitchell live in washington. a big day. we begin with the death of american-born al qaeda leader anwar awlaki, a man considered the single greatest threat to u.s. -- to the u.s. homeland. an inspirational leader, he was killed around 3:00 this morning eastern time, when an american drone fired on his convoy in yemen, killing him and another american-born terrorist sammer kahn. jim miklaszewski is live at the pentagon with the latest. this is a very big deal. they must be celebrating at the pentagon and the white ho

mullen said the u.s. has credible evidence that the pakistani agency is connected to that and to a number of other attacks against american troops. david martin has our story. >> reporter: the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff said it as bluntly as it's ever been said: terrorist groups which are killing americans operate with impunity from pakistani soil and with help from pakistani intelligence. >> the haqqani network, for one, acts as a veritable arm of pakistan's internal services intelligence agency. >> reporter: the haqqani network is perhaps the most violent enemy faction in afghanistan. according to admiral mullen, it is responsible for last week's attack on the u.s. embassy in kabul in which 16 people were killed, and just before that, a powerful truck bomb on the anniversary of 9/11 which wounded scores of american soldiers. >> with i.s.i. support, haqqani operatives planned and conducted that truck bomb attack, as well as the assaults on our embassy. >> reporter: mullen said the haqqani netw

admiral mullen the testimony he's testing the water allegedly don't have troops in pakistan although everybody knows there's some secret ops in the now but this would be a play on for american troops to go into the tribal areas on the ground and attack it would be similar i think. on a lesser scale but exactly the same as richard nixon invaded in cambodia. in order to find the vietcong headquarters in the jungle and you know what happened to nixon so it's a it's a very dangerous situation in pakistan. pakistan is a nuclear armed nation and correct certainly. past behavior would probably love to have another fight with. with india i mean they if they still have a lot of border disputes going on kashmir being the least of them are america's right regulators who are calling for more conflict in that area or for that matter this administration with the situation that you just described playing with nuclear fire in that region these are both nuclear equipped nations and i'm frankly i to the best my knowledge we don't know the throw power of the nuclear capability of either nation could st

(laughing) we begin tonight with the obviously the big story from this weekend. obviously what everyone was talking and thinking about: president obama's jobs bill. a bill so important that its unveiling last thursday night preempted the packers'-saints game pre-game through. two teams with high expectations for the coming season. i'm sorry. what were we talking about? jobs bill. what is so great about this that it preempted my pre-game show? >> it will create more jobs for construction workers, more jobs for teachers, more jobs for veterans and more jobs for long-term unemployed. repair and modernize at least 35,000 schools. it will provide a tax break for companies who hire new workers and cut payroll taxes in half for every working american and every small business. >> jon: it will triple guarantee that all children get to be the thing they wanted to be when they grow up, including ast

i think what admiral mullen is doing is something good at this point.istan and call the isi and what they are doing and, you know, tell them that this is not acceptable. >> you know, okay, i've got to move ahead of you. the american people are most concerned, like all countries are, with our self-interest. our self-interest is at least concerned, to put it lightly, about the possibility that the pakistan nuclear arsenal falls into the hands of people directly aimed at us, for example, the taliban. what can we do to best ensure, in a dangerous situation, that those arms will not fall in the hands of terrorists or friends of terrorists? >> i like to believe that there are elements in the army, in the military, and elements in the isi probably working with us, and i would like to believe, at least that we have that situation under control, and we have safeguards in place to prevent this kind of -- >> do we? >> i would love to believe that. at least, we've been told that we have that. >> well, we hope we do too. thank you very much. ali soufan for coming on

that's the story of mike mullen. it's the story of america.nd it's the spirit that we celebrate today. indeed, if there's a thread that runs through his illustrious career, it's mike's sense of stewardship, the understanding that as leaders our time at the helm is but a moment in the life of our nation. the humility which says, the institutions and people entrusted to our care look to us. yet, they do not belong to us. and the sense of responsibility we have to pass them safer and stronger to those who follow. mike, as you look back as your four consequential years as chairman and your four decades in uniform, be assured our military is stronger and our nation is more secure because of the service that you have rendered.

arm of the pakistani intelligence services this is resulted in pakistani officials saying admiral mullen it's resulted in pakistani talk shows discussing how to react if the united states were to attack but why would they were think that the u.s. would attack is that just more anti-american media bias well maybe it's because a u.s. lawmakers have begun beating their chests and suggested doing just that. the idea of pakistani intelligence agencies supporting terrorism as a national strategy needs to come to me and it destabilizes afghanistan they're killing american soldiers if they continue to embrace terrorism as part of their national strategy we're going to have to put all options on the table including defending our troops. so are the u.s. and pakistan really on the brink of some kind of war or is this just how the game between the two will always be played when we discuss this is robert farley assistant professor at the university of kentucky patterson school blogger lawyers guns and money robert thanks so much for joining us tonight now you and i have discussed the u.s. pakistan re
