“The Times quotes General Petraeus as acknowledging ``longstanding ties between Pakistan's Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence'' and what he calls the ``bad guys.'' And the Times goes on to say in this editorial, ``The Times's report of the new documents suggests the collusion goes even deeper, that representatives of the ISI''--that's their spy agency in Pakistan-- ``have worked with the Taliban to organize networks of militants to fight American soldiers in Afghanistan and hatch plots to assassinate Afghan leaders.'' I'm saying, do we want these people to be our partners, people who are playing a double game with us? This is why we've got to get out of Pakistan. We have to take a different approach here, and in the debate that will ensue in the next, you know, few hours, whenever it's scheduled, I hope to be able to get to some of the specifics of why this resolution is important at this time. Thank you, Mr. McGovern. Thank you, Mr. Dreier, for the opportunity.”
