Relax people, it's coming from Debka. You know what I think of when I hear Debka? I think of the Levantine dabkeh dance. An intel site with the same name as Arabic line dancing? Yeah that's trustworthy. LOL

All of the above.
I feel a warming trend coming that area!
There is a second question in play - should the Taliban become the legitimate government, we aren't talking in terms of compromise at all, but simple, overt takeover by the new owners. No security system can guard against that.
Could you comment on this report, please. I value your opinions more than comments from Obama.
That’s possible, and it shows why we and they should have supported Musharraf rather than making the same mistake that was made with regard to China, Cuba, Iran,a nd Nicaragua.
no worries
obama will fix it.
>>we and they should have supported Musharraf
India actually was quite reconciled to Musharraf, since the Army wields the real power in Pakistan. May as deal with the real power rather than the figleaf.
And, it’s not Obama who forced out Musharraf, that was Bush by insisting on Benazir’s return.
Anyway, all water now......
Let’s see....

Let the bombing commence!
pakis can’t think of that. They have no real intelligence and cant figure out that India would retaliate with complete and utter force and wipe out Pakistan from the map.
This should be evaluated in conjunction with a story in the WSJ yesterday that two SF teams, size undetermined had been sent to the unnamed frontier and tribal areas, to help train the FrontierCorps, a Sisyphusian exercise in futility if there ever was one, but probably a figleaf for their true purpose, which would be nuclear related.
The Paki military is probably highly split among the upper ranks as well, with pro and anti US camps doing a deadly shadow dance for now.
Do you have the link to the WSJ story with you? I’ll post it as article here, if you are not going to.
Found it...

Hope it works OK, think it’s a freebie....
>>Many people are going to die because of Obama.<<
Thanks for that happy thought for the day. *sigh*
I only hope we get out of this alive
fyi
‘Pakistan Making More N-Weapons’

The chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, has confirmed reports that Pakistan is increasing its nuclear weapons programme. The confirmation came during a Senate Armed Services committee hearing on Thursday when Democrat senator Jim Webb, an expert on defence issues, raised fears that Pakistan is adding to the nuclear weapons it traditionally has pointed toward India, and questioned whether US aid could be funding it.
Noting reports that Pakistan "may be actually adding on their weapon systems and warheads" Webb asked: "Do you have any evidence of that?" "Yes," Mullen answered. The US has urged Pakistan to focus on the extremist threat instead of India. “Historically, they haven't done that,” Mullen said. “So right now, I'm encouraged by what's happened, but I certainly withhold any judgment about where it goes.”
fyi
The Su-30MKI Flankers, sappers and the spy agency have a mission to do:
The Flankers would eliminate any interfering PAF aerial opposition while the sappers go in and seize the nuclear sites.
The spy agency will be concentrated on searching the nuclear football and seizing it before it falls into Taliban hands and the nuclear launch codes are compromised.
