Forget about war in Iran; Pakistan is the next battleground

Remember when the great Barack suggested that US may have to dive into Pakistan to get Osama, with or without permission? Considering Osama is no longer Musharraf's priority, the Bush Administration agreed to go in, if asked. I think with a successful 9/11 style attack there, a takeover of a nuke silo or an assassination of Musharraf, the US may dive in without stopping and asking.

The point, in my own weird way, is that Dubya keeps turning countr[i]es to shit to find one guy, and after 9/11, all OBL has done, AFAIK, is make threatening videos.

Next thing ya' know, the big cheese 'ill say there WMDs in Pakistan.

I'm most likely being nievee But I think unless there can be absolute proof as to Benny's location, forget about invasion.

Well, there ARE WMDs in Pakistan. They have The Bomb, and have done multiple successful tests.

Pakistan has conducted two nuclear tests, the first of which was claimed to be the simultaneous detonation of five nuclear devices and the second a single, smaller device.
These were on 28th and 30th of May 1998, and were in response to tests by India a week previously.
See : http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Pakistan/PakTests.html
http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/pakistan/nuke/index.html (the Federation of American Scientists)
or any of the other 2,400,000 google hits for "Pakistan nuclear tests"...

India is taking the fact Pakistan have nukes seriously. Why don't you think India isn't attacking Pakistan now, while India has the nuke?

And it's no coincidence that al-Qaeda is cozying up in Waziristan. Now US would have to ask nicely to invade another territory.

Hey if we can get the Paki's and the Ijuns to have a little nuclear exchange maybe we could get some of those outsourced jobs back! Not a bad idea.

India pledged not to attack with a nuke first. Pakistan, population being outnumbered 7 to 1 vis a vis India, currently does not pledge to so refrain.

Frontline did a great show on PBS last night on the resurgence of the Taliban and the role of Pakistan. It was very good.

McCain was on the tube tonight, promising to go after Bin Laden. I guess that means Pakistan.
