Washington: US Senator Lindsey Graham has said that the drone strikes in Pakistan will continue to deal with the threats in the tribal region of the country.
“This is where al-Qaeda and the Taliban go to seek refuge, and these attacks coming out of Afghanistan are not attacks on the Pakistani people. They are attacks on terrorists who want to undermine us, kill our soldiers, and also undermine Pakistan,” he said in an interview.
Mr. Graham said, Pakistan he thinks is not going to change its behaviour until they believe that the US is going to be successful in Afghanistan.
“The more you talk about leaving Iraq, the more you talk about leaving Afghanistan, the more uncertainty you create in the region,” he said.
“The day that the Pakistani government and army realises that Afghanistan is not going to go back into the hands of the Taliban will be the day that they stop betting on the Taliban,” he said.
