#1 "These [IRan]Missles cannot do substantial damage" > Read, NOT YET = NOT AT THIS TIME.

OTOH PAKISTANI DEFENCE FORUM > PAKISTAN NUCLEAR CABLE [Cables]. Fear by the US + UK that PAK is on the path towards National Collapse = Anarchy, + that its NUCWEAPS + TECHS WILL FALL INTO THE MILITANTS' HANDS, EITHER IN AFTERMATH OF NATIONAL GOVT-ECON COLLAPSE ANDOR BY INTERNAL GOVT. CORRUPTION [MilTerrs have the $$$, Corrupt Paki Politicos, etc. have the Nukulaar Honey]. US-NATO SUPPORT VITAL TO PREVENT PAK = AFPAK COLLAPSE + FUTURE NUC TERROR.

RUSSIA = broadly agrees wid US, UK ASSESSMENT. LEGALLY ANDOR VIOLENTLY, RADICAL ISLAM = MILITANTS ARE TRYING TO TAKE POWER IN PAKISTAN + TRYING TO GO NUKULAAR = GET HOLD OF FISSLE NUCMATS FOR MIL WEAPONS.

IOW, RUSSIA = "DA TIME IS NOW" TO SAVE THE BORSCH FROM THE HARD BOYZ.

* SAME > WIKILEAKS: US: IRAN THREATENS MIDDLE EAST, GLOBAL SECURITY, via illicit = covert NucProgs, i.e. disguising its desire for NucWeaps as simple NucEnergy.

ARTIC also read, NUCTECHS PROLIFERATION to MILTERRS.

* Also from WIKILEAKS DOCS = seems EGYPT PREZ MUBARAK wanted the US to impose a STRONGMAN TO RULE IRAQ AFTER US WITHDRAWAL, since Hosni believed that US DEPARTURE FROM IRAQ = same as the US INDIR GIVING DE FACTO CONTROL OF IRAQ TO IRAN???

* SAME WIKI > CHINA VIEWS NORTH KOREA'S NUCPROGS AS "TROUBLESOME", espec as PYONGYANG HAD IGNORED BEIJING"S DEMAND THAT NOKOR RETURN TO SIX-PARTY TALKS.
