IMO, Pervez Musharraf is getting ready to bail. All bets are off.

Pakistan undoubtedly has more Islamist nutballs than any Muslim nation on earth. The fact that the (relatively moderate) Musharraf gov't possesses a nuclear arsenal is barely acceptable. ....and incredibly dangerous. But a likely successor gov't possessing that arsenal is completely unacceptable, and a situation we'd have to deal with both immediately and militarily.

This is a good one too:

"Hundreds of Taliban reinforcements in pick-up trucks who crossed over from Quetta – waved on by Pakistani border guards – were destroyed by Nato air and artillery strikes."

A Muslim controlled Pakistan military would rather use than lose what few nuclear weapons they have. Russia and China need to get on board.

Probably. But how about their nukes that already sit atop ballistic missiles (of which they have dozens)? We'd run the risk of them figuring they better "use them or lose them". ....but it's a risk we'd have to take.

George Soros and Speaker Pelosi might delay things.

We would probably be bombing Indian commandos then.

The Indians must know every detail about those nukes/missiles.

Good point Mr. Mojo, and one that few people consider. We've also a large naval fleet within range of Pakistan's ballistic missiles.

I doubt al Qaeda would want to make an official declaration, but keep things as they are now where they control, but have Musharraf running interference for them.

Yep, our Navy in the Arabian Sea and Persian Gulf, and our bases/troop concentrations in Afghanistan. I'm not sure if their missiles have the range to hit our bases in Iraq, but if not it's pretty darn close.
