AT ISSUE HERE:

February 12 -- CIA Director George Tenet travels to Islamabad for secret talks with Musharraf.

March 6-8 -- Musharraf travels to Saudi Arabia for discussions with the Crown Prince, and the heads of Saudi defense and intelligence, regarding, among other things, nuclear weapons. While there, the Saudi government awards Musharraf with a very rare Islamic honor at the Holy Ka'aba.

March 17-18 -- Secretary of State Colin Powell travels to Islamabad for further discussions with Musharraf about the status of Pakistan's clandestine nuclear proliferation.

Unmentioned in the public press regarding the AQ Kahn affair, are the persistent rumors that Pakistan has also been fronting a nuclear weapons development program on behalf of Saudi Arabia. If there is any substance to these rumors, this would mean that (a.)Saudi Arabia currently is in possession of nuclear weapons and that (b.)the U.S. is aware of the details and now has the proof.

This could explain this ongoing series of visits and counter visits between the U.S., Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

For those who want to see a little more, GWB also sent an arms control expert, Steve Rademaker to Pakistan for a couple of days:

I am amused by the way that the article says that he will "camp" there for a couple of days.

I have a question also. How long will it be before all of Pakistan's nuclear weapons fall into the hands of an radical fundamentalist government?

How long after this occurence will we be forced to destroy them?
