Pakistan
The recent crises in Pakistan are a very serious threat to America’s national security. Pakistan has a strategic geographic importance in the war against Islamic terrorism and a nuclear arsenal which cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of Al Qaeda and the Taliban. That is why I am strongly supporting President Obama’s efforts to stabilize Pakistan and defeat the Taliban and Al Qaeda, which are not only threatening Pakistan’s survival but carrying out attacks across the border into Afghanistan. I am also supporting legislation such as the United States-Pakistan Security and Stability Act (H.R. 2481) which would require the President to develop a comprehensive strategy and implementation plan for long-term security and stability in Pakistan.
