Pakistan will not nuke US for incursions Sun, 02 Nov 2008 22:22:44 GMT Pakistani Premier Yousuf Raza Gilani says Islamabad will not use its nuclear arsenal against the US to stop its incursions inside the country.
“We are a nuclear power but we will not demonstrate any irresponsible attitude,” he told a press conference in Islamabad, Daily Times reported on Sunday.
“But we will take measures for protection of the integrity of Pakistan,” Gilani added.
Gilani's remarks come after two deadly US air strikes in two Waziristan villages Friday that killed 32 people, raising tensions between Washington and Islamabad.
The incident in the lawless province is the latest in a string of attacks on Pakistani soil that have raised tensions between Islamabad and Washington.
Gilani urged the International community to stop the United States' incursions into Pakistan's tribal belt near the Afghan border.
The prime minister said that he would raise the issue in a meeting with the US ambassador to Islamabad. Also last week on Wednesday, the Pakistani government had summoned the US ambassador to protest over the issue.
Gilani noted that the Afghan President Hamid Karzai would also take the matter up with the US-led NATO forces based in Afghanistan.
Pakistan has frequently protested over the US incursions into Pakistan's tribal region, with Prime Minister Gilani earlier terming the attacks as 'acts of terrorism'. President Asif Ali Zardari on Saturday also strongly condemned the recent US air raid inside Pakistani territory and termed the strikes as attacks on the sovereignty and autonomy of Pakistan.

(because the US would turn us into a smoking crater)
Someone should inform Yousuf that Pakistan doesn’t have ICBMs.
i’m really relieved!
/s
To use teen-eze:
OMG, like, wut?
But maybe we should just use ours instead....
That’s wise considering we likely have boomers in the area targeting every important target in Pakistan. They are always just a few moments from annihilation.
“ICBM”
Idiot’s camel borne missiles?
fine w me.
just shake those mountains until
obama bin laden comes out!
and his buddies.
> We will not use our nukes against US aggression.(because the US would turn us into a smoking crater)
That pretty much explains it LOL!
lol....I sit corrected. I’m sure they have plenty of those.
It would be the last mistake they would ever make as we would turn their country into a huge smoking pile of radioactive ashes.
“ICBM”
Idiot’s camel borne missiles?
Silly me - I always thought that meant “Islamo-whacko camel borne missile”.
;-)
Yes, I guess that our Virginia-Class Subs, “in the ME geographic theater”, should *stand-down*, and not open the launch hatch doors, right? What a freaking joke. The Pakis are a turd-world hellhole, and rightly know *what could happen* inside of 1-4 minutes, but won’t. They’re lucky, so far...
Oh so you don’t want to glow in the dark?
Not only that, we would give India the right to take over what is left of Pakistan (And help them do it)...
After we nuke it, India may not want it. It could be unihabitable for 50-100 years.
