It has been a bad day in the war on terror and this piece of news takes the icing on the cake. Seems like the US thinks it can win the war on terror by feeding of the carcasses of its allies.

How do you figure that? Why wouldn't you want these guys to have an ABM system? Remember even Reagan suggested that SDI could have a peaceful impact if it was shared.

If we are targets of "rogue states" tehn so is Pakistan. And if they only have a few nukes for deterrence, then they're more likely to hav to use them if hit by, say, Iraq. And if they are fully decked out in PAC-3 missiles, if we want to wipe Pakistan out, well, we still could in a heartbeat.

This is a GREAT deal.

Got news for you, for the most part, Pakistan IS a rogue state...just a nuclear tipped one.

As an American taxpayer, I totally agree with Sam Paine, that this is a GREAT DEAL

It's good for America's image in the Islamic World that America has also Muslim allies, eg, Pakistan, which is a very important member of the Islamic World, that is to say to the 1 billion Muslims that the US is NOt anti-Islam per ser

About time, too

Yep, mutually assured protection. ...A helluva lot better than the alternative.

Pakistan is a rogue state.

These guys define the term.
