Delhi Thinks Pakistan's Nuclear Sites in Radical Hands: Indian PM Tells Obama- "Pakistan is lost."

The important Times of India quotes DEBKA-Net-Weekly's exclusive report of Friday, May 15, which revealed that Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh had warned US president Barack Obama that Pakistan's nuclear sites in North West Frontier Province areas that are Taliban-al Qaeda strongholds are already partly in the hands of Islamic extremists. He told Obama: "Pakistan is lost."

DEBKA listed the locations of those nuclear sites and illustrated them with a special map. Singh's Congress Party has meanwhile won a second term in India's general election, according to exit polls Saturday, May 16.

The Times of India goes on to cite visiting US scholar Robert Windrem as commenting: "It is quite disturbing that the administration is allowing Pakistan to quantitatively and qualitatively step up production of fissile material without as much so a public reproach."

US officials have repeatedly maintained their confidence that the Pakistani nuclear arsenal will not fall into the hands of Islamic extremists and have Islamabad's assurance to this effect. Scholars like Windrem fear this confidence is misplaced because Pakistan's nuclear program "may already be infected with the virus of radicalism from within…"

Remember, it’s DEBKA.... Not reliable in any sense of the word.

If this is true, and I hope it’s not, the US should go in and take control of all the Nukes. Then let them do what they want.

He's a rogue President IMHO.

Getting us killed and bringing the USA into the dark ages is the goal so that we are equal to the rest of the world.

The last I heard about all this was that the warheads and missiles are kept separate. Not saying it’s true, just saying...

Here's what the Delaware senator and vice-presidential running mate to Barack Obama said:

"Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.

"I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate. And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you – not financially to help him – we're gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right."

I will hold your coat while you "go in and take control" of the Nukes. Do you have any idea what it would entail to do that in a country twice the size of California with a population of 176 million and an armed forces of over 600,000 and located half a world away? There is no way we can do that.

If Pakistan is lost, those nukes will turn up in American cities within a year.

Pakistan had been lost ever since the Paki gov’t never (sic) got control of the “tribal” areas.

Perfect, then 0be can take control of them without having to invade Pakistan.

“The last I heard about all this was that the warheads and missiles are kept separate. Not saying it’s true, just saying...”

Not much comfort there. Put the warhead on a fishing boat. Put dirty decay elements around the casing. Sail it 5 miles upwind of NYC offshore. Set it off. EMP fries electronics all over the Eastern seaboard and radiation makes large parts of the Eastern seaboard uninhabitable for centuries. No stock market. No banking records. No world financial center. No one knows who owns what stocks or what they had in bank accounts. Huge death toll. Economic disaster.

911 times 1000. 911 was just two big buildings coming down.

“Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re [BO and Biden] right.”

On this I agree with Biden. The administration so far has seemed wrong initially on almost everything.

Debka isn’t always the most reliable source; however, if the Taliban have obtained Pakistani nukes, we here in the United States will certainly find out about it this summer, in a very big way. The Moslems know that our President Hussein is soft on terror; it’s only a matter of time before they act on that knowledge.

This story is pure nonsense, laughable. Here is a story much closer to the truth:

This sentence spooks me. Its like Biden had something very specific in mind.
