ADM Mullen recent visit to Pakistan highlights one of the most important policy challenges for the next president. It is rumored he proposed sending American advisers to train local forces on counterinsurgency. Instability is on the rise in Pakistan as evidenced by the truck bomb at the Marriot. The new president is accused of being mentally ill. What's more a friend of mine has heard him openly talking about stealing money when you are in a position of power an encouraging a friend to do so.
Advisers on Pakistani soil will certainly be a political bomb shell. Will it be an effective strategy? What else is needed in order to shore up the nuclear armed country?
