#2 Small units could seize them, disable them and then centralize them in a secure location

Or we could just nuke the nukes. Don't even need to exit the aircraft. Of course, since we don't know *exactly* where the Pak nukes are, we would have to be very thorough in our anti-nuke nuking. Happy coincidence, we have all those warheads that need to be used up before their expiration date.

#4 Hold on now, did anyone really think we didn't have a plan (or two) to grab or disable Pakistan's nukes?

To not have such a plan would have been criminally irresponsible.

#5 To not have such a plan would have been criminally irresponsible.

To not have such a plan would not be a first.

#6 Back in the 'old days' when they first deployed the Nike Hercules system [which had both a air defense and surface to surface capability] in Germany the op manual for dealing with a sister site being overrun was to use max ordnance [of which the Secretary neither acknowledged or denied] on it. Let's just say, it wasn't a reenlistment booster. Then there's the issue of sympathetic detonation when you bust one on top of another.

#12 I have no doubt we have a plan.

Too bad we will not use it for fear of offending someone.

I still say that at the end of the day the Taliban will have the nukes.
