RealPlayer |  | Clarke: Negotiate With Pakistan To Staunch al-Qaida Twenty-eight American soldiers were killed in Afghanistan in June, making it the deadliest month for U.S. troops since the war in Afghanistan began in 2001. Much of the spike in violence is attributed to a resurgent Taliban and al-Qaida, both in Afghanistan, and in neighboring Pakistan. Richard Clarke, who has served as a top counterterrorism adviser to every president since George H.W. Bush, tells Linda Wertheimer about steps the United States could take to reduce the threat from these groups. According to Clarke, the U.S. should strike a new deal with the Pakistani, telling them if "they cooperate with ending this sanctuary with the Taliban, we will help you
but we cannot have a sanctuary for al-Qaida again."
