Islamabad, July 20: On Pakistan”s cooperation in the hunt, Clinton said, “I think that”s because if I put myself into a position of leadership in our own government, and if there were a terrorist network operating somewhere, even in the most remote place in the United States, some sheriff, some local state policeman, somebody in our collective government would probably know that there was something suspicious going on,” she said.”So that”s why I assume somebody, somebody in this government, from top to bottom, does know where bin Laden is.
And I”d like to know too,” Clinton said.”Top levels of the government say they don”t know, to be fair to them. It would similar, again, if somebody walked into my office and said do you know where bad guy in the Mexican cartel is on our side of the border? I would say I don”t know, but I assume somebody knows.So I think we”ve got to keep pressure on, which we are doing,” she argued.At the same time, she acknowledged that the relationship with Pakistan has not been at its best.
“We inherited a situation with such mistrust between the United States and Pakistan that it takes day-by-day confidence-building. And we”ve been doing that,” she said.”It is not to get just a good relationship at the top.You have to go through the bureaucracy. So to go back to my example about if I said who is it who knows where the Mexican cartel leader is? Somebody must know. It is somebody in the bowels of the bureaucracy. You have to set a new tone, you have to set a new sense of direction and authority. And I think that is happening,” Clinton argued.
