Former Bush Administration, and current Obama Administration, Aussie terror consultant David Kilcullen says we should be very, very afraid of the government in Islamabad collapsing, then followed by a possible al-Qaeda takeover.
To use a British English word, “tosh.”
First, al Qaeda is NOT the Taliban.
Second, while Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence does support the Taliban, it also has plenty of hardware to keep the Taliban on about the length of leash it wants.
Yes, the ISI may screw that up at some point.
But, that’s much less likely than, if push comes to shove, a military coup.
