And Pakistan, our ally, just pardoned the sell-out scientist. We haven't said a word of objection to their harboring and pardoning of a known arms proliferator to the officially declared terrorist states of Iran, Libya, and North Korea.

Oh, come now. Surely it's clear what's going on here. A deal was made, and doubtless we (The United States) signed off on it: Pardon of Khan, and coverup of Paki government involvement, in exchange for full disclosure of the nuclear poliferation network. An very good deal, IMHO, and probably necessary to acheive full cooperation from those involved and get the most detailed intelligence.

Are you telling me you would NOT have agreed to this deal if you were POTUS?

You guys just make this stuff up out of some fantasy world. Not a shred of evidence, just some dream of us swaggering about the world, people bowing down to us and following our every wish.

I don't imagine for a second that we were consulted on this. We need fully Paki cooperation to hunt Osama and al-Qaeda so they just did exactly what they wanted. And once the pardon was issued, it can't be rescinded. Fait accompli.
