I don't like contributing to your ongoing efforts to sow discord and to undermine support for the Administration's strategy in Pakistan, by adding any post that would bump your thread, but I couldn't leave that foolish statement of yours go unanswered.
Contrary to what you state, the only Pakistani access to nuclear weapons is held by the Military's top leadership, and they are the very ones that prosecuted these Islamists dogs. These trials and executions are a perfect example of the wisdom and success of Bush's policy in Pakistan and of Mushi's resolve in fighting these Islamist scum.
So, you're against protecting those nukes from Islamists? Go figure!

You do know that it is against Free Republic rules to post imaginary titles, don't you? And you do know that the word "mutiny" is not part of the original title, nor does it even occur in the story text, don't you?
Why do you make up stuff like that? Oh, that's right, you've got an agenda you're trying to sell.
--Boot Hill
The ISI was completely controlled by them prior to 9/11, and certainly the population was becoming even more extremist thanks largely to the Saudi-funded madrassas.
It is impossible to change all this overnight, but Musharraf has made progress far beyond my expectations. He's survived assassination attempts while conducting purges of the ISI and the army. He's defused tensions in Kashmir and conducted sweeps of the unconquered tribal areas.
He's done everything we've asked at great personal and political peril.
Some would like him to wave a magic wand and turn Pakistan into some sort of nirvana. But the truth is that Pakistan is a far better ally than Turkey and far more helpful in the war on terrorists than our neighbors to the north.

Gee. I didn't realize that President Bush appointed you as the Secretary of Amity and I also did not realize that we all have a calling to ignore any news that don't fit the administration's strategy on Pakistan. I'll keep that in mind next time, Mr. Secretary.

Wow. I see that as a member of the Bush cabinet you have access to top secret material like who has access to Pakistan's nuke warheads. It must have slipped your mind that the people guarding the bunkers, silos and other facilities that house the warheads and weapons grade Uranium are not the Generals but lower level officers and enlisted men. You don't see Pakistani generals doing sentry duty, do you?
So, you're against protecting those nukes from Islamists? Go figure
So you now have the power to read other people's minds? Where did I say that?
Oh, that's right, you've got an agenda you're trying to sell.
ROTFL. And you're here without any agenda?
If you read the report carefully, you'd see that it talks about many Pakistani soldiers participating in training activities with terrorists in training camps that are still open. So why are those facilities still open? Secondly, you'd do well to read about the events in Iran before the Islamic revolution.
