Re: Pakistan Nuclear Proliferation - 31 Jan 2004

The same old dance that Mushy/pak army did with Omar Saeed Sheikh. 0) Internally "brief" AQ Khan on what his response should be to external scrutiny on his persona, for purposes of future debriefing 1) Arrest AQ Khan and make him the scapegoat for all ills. 2) Make a show of Debriefing AQ ...

Originally posted by Sriman: Now, what are the odds that there will soon be "discovery of Pakistani nuclear hardware" from the cargo load that was brought by a couple of C-130s from Libya to McGhee airport near Oakridge, TN? It would depend on whether Mushy cooperates or not, I believe.

Re: Pakistan Nuclear Proliferation - 22 Jan 2004

It seems to me that the US allowing the perception that pakistan is a nuclear weapons state to persist is purely so that it can continue to work on "denuclearizing the region". If pakistan is publicly known to be nuke nude, then the non prolif jihadis in the US SD have no excuse for de-nuk...

Re: Saudi Arabia's nuclear ambitions

Another plausible reason is that the paks lose their value to the Ummah if they hand over the bomb to KSA. They are no longer the only ones in the Ummah with the bomb.
