By Diane Barnes Texas Governor Rick Perry charged on Thursday that President Obama has failed to build a U.S.-Indian alliance strong enough to mount an adequate response should Pakistani nuclear weapons fall into the hands of regional extremists (see GSN, Sept. 19).Islamabad maintains that its atomic assets are secure and has played down international fears that militants might steal a warhead or weapon-grade material from its nuclear stockpile. The United States, though, has reportedly discussed and possibly drilled on a contingency plan to forcibly secure Pakistan's nuclear stockpile during a crisis (see GSN, Aug. 4).
Asked during a Republican presidential debate to describe his "first move" in the event that he learns as commander in chief that Pakistani nuclear weapons had been seized by Taliban militants, the leading GOP contender stressed the importance of establishing strong regional alliances prior to any such development.
"Before you ever get to that point, you have to build a relationship in that region. And that's one of the things that this administration has not done," Perry said at the evening debate in Orlando, Fla.
The United States has funneled billions of dollars in assistance to Pakistan, aimed in part at shoring up the security of the nation's sensitive nuclear sites. Perry hinted at Islamabad's unreliability as an ally, though, referring to Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Michael Mullen's assertion this week that the Haqqani terrorist network is essentially an extension of the nation's intelligence service.

I think some of the pundits were disappointed.
Will Indians be getting in-state tuition, too?
How will being friends with Pakistan’s hated enemy make it easier to get nukes out of the hands of extremists in Pakistan?

============================================
It is true that the nation has elected incoherent Texans to the White House, but Perry alone has come up with THE dumbest non-sequiturs.
Perry’s most embarrassing debate answer responded to what he’d do if the WH phone rang at 3 AM informing him that the Taliban had gotten control of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons.....(then suddenly remembering he was supposed to mention India).
PERRY “Well, obviously, before you ever get to that point, you have to build a relationship in that region. And that’s one of the things that this administration has not done. Just yesterday we found out through Admiral Mullen that Haqqani has been involved with — and that’s the terrorist group directly associated with the Pakistani country —-----"
-----"so to have a relationship with India, to make sure that India knows that they are an ally of the United States”.......
Perry went on to tell a story about how the Obama administration wouldn’t sell upgraded F-16 fighters to India....which n-e-v-e-r happened.
=================================
Apparently, Ricky had pre-arranged with Indian officials to raise these issues....in exchange for PR statements flogging his candidacy (and votes, campaign contributions and other gratuities?)
Chalk it all up to a-n-o-t-h-e-r Ricky flopola.
Which country would that be Rick?
Oh, Slick Rick meant "directly associated with Pakistan."
Hee hee. His tongue is a lot faster than his brain.
LOL-—nice catch. Another Ricky-ism.
He’s a legend in his own mind. LOL.
It reminded me of some BS letters I had to write years ago as a Project Manager when we were waaay behind on a Hi-Rise Building project and being threatened with 'nasty stuff' (legal term) (/s).
In short: It has a lot of words but doesn't really say anything. It's a non-answer answer.

If Perry and Romney are the last two standing, I vote for Perry, period. My personal favorite is Cain, who I contribute to. I don’t think he has much of a chance, but we will see.
Yep. But that Offensive Line better show up.
If not, Cutler should just walk off and tell Lovie to stick it and get some players who know what 'Block' means.
That guy is gonna get killed otherwise.
Me too. Perry is my ‘solid C’ candidate. Doesn’t excite me, hit-and-miss conservative, but he’s not the Establishment’s candidate either. Better than Romney, slightly better than Christie if he jumps in, better than Johnson, Paul, and Huntsman. If the choice is between him and one of those he’s the candidate of last resort.
Well put. I don't know how Cutler gets up the courage to go out on the field.
