I don't like contributing to your ongoing efforts to sow discord and to undermine support for the Administration's strategy in Pakistan, by adding any post that would bump your thread, but I couldn't leave that foolish statement of yours go unanswered.
Gee. I didn't realize that President Bush appointed you as the Secretary of Amity and I also did not realize that we all have a calling to ignore any news that don't fit the administration's strategy on Pakistan. I'll keep that in mind next time, Mr. Secretary.
Contrary to what you state, the only Pakistani access to nuclear weapons is held by the Military's top leadership
Wow. I see that as a member of the Bush cabinet you have access to top secret material like who has access to Pakistan's nuke warheads. It must have slipped your mind that the people guarding the bunkers, silos and other facilities that house the warheads and weapons grade Uranium are not the Generals but lower level officers and enlisted men. You don't see Pakistani generals doing sentry duty, do you?
So, you're against protecting those nukes from Islamists? Go figure
So you now have the power to read other people's minds? Where did I say that?
Oh, that's right, you've got an agenda you're trying to sell.
ROTFL. And you're here without any agenda?
If you read the report carefully, you'd see that it talks about many Pakistani soldiers participating in training activities with terrorists in training camps that are still open. So why are those facilities still open? Secondly, you'd do well to read about the events in Iran before the Islamic revolution.
Your title was suspect enough, but I'd say your sarcastic response has effectively proven Boot's point. While I strongly disagree that this news is not part of the Administration's strategy in Pakistan, you obviously felt that it was and scrambled to get it posted.
But regardless of your motivation, it is an interesting article, and I'm glad to have read it.

LOL, so Saberwielder, it appears that you are now saying that the PAL's that control the nukes are in the hands of "lower level officers and enlisted men", and not the top generals. After all, wasn't it you who said: "These guys [the lower level officers and enlisted men] hold the keys to about a 100 nuclear warheads!"
