admiral michael mullen finally said publicly what insiders have said privately for years. pakistan's army, despite getting over a quarter of its budget from washington, funds and arms the deadliest terrorist group in south asia that kills americans. pakistan's military needs to stop playing games to keep afghanistan weak and india off balance. it needs to start trying to create peace and stability and prosperity for its people. in other words, pakistan needs a civilian conception of its national interest. and it can only get that from a flourishing civilian government. there lies a fundamental tension in u.s. policy toward pakistan. we want the more democratic country, but we also want a government that can deliver anti-terrorism cooperation on the ground. in practice, we always choose the latter. which means we cozy up to the military and overlook its destruction of democracy. but the only way to get real cooperation is by helping pakistan move from being a military state to a more normal country. if washington continues to bolster pakistan's de facto military dictatorshi

security forces, led by united states security coordinator mike mullen , has paid dividends. israel should look for ways to bolster this cooperation. president obama must take the difficult steps to do the same thing. ultimately, the agreement of a secure, prosperous, jewish and democratic israel can only be achieved through two states living side by side in peace and insecurity. with full confidence that the united states is willing and capable of ensuring that israel can safeguard its security as it takes the risks needed to pursue peace. now is the time for israel to take bold action and to move towards a negotiated two-state solution. i recognize that there is a view that this is not the time to pursue peace and that the arab awakening further imperils the dream of a safe and secure jewish and democratic israel. i disagree with that view. i believe that israel will ultimately be safe when other middle eastern states adopt government that responds to their people, promote equal rights, free and fair elections, uphold their international commitments, and it joined the commu

for these reasons admiral mike mullen former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff concluded that our national debt is the -- quote -- "to quote admiral mullen --" the biggest threat we have to our national security" -- unquote. standard & poor's issued an historic downgrade of u.s. treasuries this summer. the impact is more than action deputyic. it will lead to higher interest rates for all americans undermining the ability of people to purchase a home, buy a car or even start a business. and most importantly it will fundamentally alter the relationship of citizens to their government. it will further undermine personal liberty. it will lead to more government control of the economy and it will jeopardize the livelihoods of american business owners and workers as escalating debt and government spending embolden those who seek higher taxes for this liabathon. the solution is the balanced budget amendment reported by every senate republican, all 47 of us. in the time i've been fortunate to serve the people of utah, i have sponsored five balanced budget amendments that hit the floor and

we're also fairly insular, said admiral mullen, speaking our own language of sorts, living within ournique culture. well, there you have it from a fairly authoritative source, i think, is one way to define the issue before us is the relationship of this relatively small and as i'll say in just a moment or explain further in just a moment this relatively incomprehensive force to the larger civil society in whose name it is sent to do battle. now our volume and this discussion this morning tries to keep these sorts of questions in play, while examining many aspects of the current military's nature and characteristics. we're trying to explore what today's military does or is asked to do, who does it? why do they do it. how do they do it? and what challenges does the future hold in all of those

pakistan was a special area responsibility, sometimes a special havoc for your predecessor, admiral mullen -- a special headache. give us your assessment of the military will issue, starting with what ever you can say today about what happened that night up in the mountains along the border that led to the deaths of several dozen pakistanis troops. >> we're the victim of our own success. weeper trade picture to the will have not said this, but the rest of the world sees us as all-knowing, all- seeing, completely precise. workfare is really -- it is just buckley and messy and unpredictable and unpredictable-- to the ugly. there is fog and friction. i don't know what happened. i want this investigation to have the freedom to tell us what happened. here's what i can say. it was also but we did intentionally. regrettably, the pakistan military believes we did. they do, to either discredit them or go for further action. it is incomprehensible to me that they believe that, but they do believe that. we're trying to address each other on the basis. what i can say, which did not attack a border pos

i think we should listen to what admiral mullen said just a couple of weeks before he left office, warning about the risk of an accidental war in the persian gulf because iran and the united states do not communicate. they have not communicated. that lack of communication brings about misperceptions which leads to miscalculations which then leads to escalation, as admiral mullen to put. so that to me is the biggest game changer in the region 12 months. >> with that very happy note, let's end of this meeting. thank you.

admiral mullens said last year the biggest threat to our national security is our debt. erskine bowles the head of the debt commission said the that the most predictable crisis in our history that's coming is going to be a debt crisis. for those who will oppose a balanced budget amendment budget on the other side they will need to explain to the american people when chaotic situations come and we're having trouble paying for those things that come from government, when the value of the money is destroyed and when prices are rising dramatically, they will have to explain to the american people why they thought it wasn't necessary to balance the budget. and i've seen no will power to attack entitlements, i've seen -- there are simple ways. we could gradually raise the age of the entitlement eligibility and means test the benefits. we could fix social security tomorrow. we could fix medicare tomorrow. but the other side is unwilling to talk about entitlement reform unless they feel like they are owed some obligation of raising taxes by a trillion dollars, that would be a di

former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, admiral mullens, said the debt was the single largest threat to our national security. this is the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. you wouldn't think that that was part of his portfolio, but that's what keeps him awake at night and worries him, our debt and the fact that china is the major purchaser of that debt, someone whose interests are not exactly aligned with ours to say the least. and secretary of state hillary clinton has said the debt undermines our capacity to act in our own interests and sends a message of weakness internationally. and then there's a quote from a former colleague of ours, madam president, way back in 2006, who said "increasingly, america's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. he said "it's a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our government's reckless fiscal policies." close quote. and you may have guessed it. yes, that was then-senator barack obama. what i think people find absolutely unnerving, disappointing, and yes, even shocking is the la
