#3 In separate news, DD Sec. Rumsfeld has "hectically" pulled back US troops from the border region of Pak/Afghan. Boys, if you think MOABs/bunker busters were bad, wait til the border goons get a load of a Pak/NKor/Iran nuke.

#4 Clarification, it's a missle test: Pakistan will not roll back its nuclear weapons program and plans to carry out another missile test within two months, President Pervez Musharraf has said.
In remarks to local journalists on Wednesday, General Musharraf said there was no pressure on Pakistan from the United States to slow atomic arms development, despite a damaging proliferation scandal involving one of its top nuclear scientists. "It is a joke," General Musharraf said, responding to a question about possible US pressure. "We are taking our nuclear program forward. "We will continue to manufacture nuclear (capable) missiles and it will be a madman who accuses me of rolling back the nuclear missile program."
A local news agency admitted Thursday that misinterpretation led to its incorrect report that Pakistan planned to conduct a bomb test. That's why the original story was confused.

#9 Jeeze Louise! The Paks have a death wish. Let's build more dangerous weapons in the middle of seething, eye-rolling, and run-amuk Islamic nutcase types. Yeah, that's the ticket!

#10 Pakistan was nearly bankrupt on Sept. 11, 2001, and the Islamofascists were discredited to the point that Seculars were in a position to move against them. So what happened? Billions of US tax dollars were shifted to the terror entity, in exchange for an occasional al-Qaeda arrest. Politically, an Islamofascist political movement - Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal - is a heart beat away from power, and US aid is trickling into the pockets of the jihadis who are attacking American troops in Afghanistan.If Bush had half a brain, he would be working against the Saud/Pak terrorist entities, instead of jumping hoops for America's enemies.
