Yeah but we have 14 Ohio class subs with 24 Tridents each, for a total of 288 missiles with 1152 warheads total.

"He says Musharef is our friend and Butto is a fraud"

I totally agree. Musharraf and the Pakistani military needs to keep control there at all costs. If Pakistan, and its nuclear arsenal falls into the Islamists hands, all hell will break loose.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

All I can say is : FUBAR

The GIs would say this during WWII and it meant:

FUC&*@ up beyond all recognition.

With this situation in Pakistan getting out of hand, and the Democrats screwing things up with Turkey, I tell ya, it's a powder keg for a recipe of worse things to come.

My understanding is that we (The US) hold the codes to launch Pak nukes, they can’t do it alone.

If the Islamists ever reach that position,which they most probably will-they will have control of N-armed “Nation-STATES”-the Islamists in Pakistan are spread across the countries & have significant sectarian/ethnic differences.Don’t expect them to bid for a united Pakistan.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

I am sure President Bush is supporting Musharef unofficially and off the record ( back door diplomacy ) however ?
The Democrats and MSM are not making things easy for us with their endorsement of the fraud ABOTO or whatever her name is and the possible political overthrow of Musharef with Islamic radicals who could get hold of those nukes.
With the way the Democrats screwed things up for us with Turkey, I have a feeling the Democrats want this to happen in Pakistan,,,,, in their hatred of President Bush and to seize more power in next year election.

Pakistan is in the mess that it is & is heading for untold catastrophe because of the Pakistani army’s ways.The P-A has always acted to maintain it’s own vested interests-if that mean’t creating the Taliban,then ditching it & then supporting it-So be it.The P-A’s stranglehold on power ensured that Pakistan imploded once before in 1971-into 2 pieces.Their actions now will ensure it will do so again-into several more pieces-with all wanting a nuke or 2 from the treasury.

[txhurl]

From whom did Pak buy her Nukes? Do you know?

[edsheppa]

Thanks again President Clinton for letting Pakistan get nukes on your watch. That was almost as helpful as Jimmy Carter letting the mullahs take over Iran.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Other than Iran possibly getting Nukes, Pakistan was only the other Nation of Islamic radicals who has nukes ?
And now ? soon ? we could possibly have 2 radical Islamic nations possessing nukes ? not good, not good at all.

[sukhoi-30mki]

Musharraf is anyone’s friend as long as it suits the Pakistani army.He is friends with the US,China,Saudi Arabia,North Korea,Britain & terrorists-all at once,irrespective of what Michael Savage says.

[sukhoi-30mki]

From the People’s Republic of China-which still remains Pakistan’s guardian angel.Which will also ensure that India & the US can’t be upto much mischief.

[sukhoi-30mki]

Pakistan got nukes before 1990 & Clinton was not president then-

‘India, Israel planned to hit Kahuta in 1980s’

LAHORE: India and Israel had secretly planned to hit Pakistan’s nuclear facility in Kahuta in 1983-84, but backed off when the CIA tipped off then president General Ziaul Haq.

According to APP, The Asian Age reported this in a report published on Sunday. The report states that a new book, “Deception: Pakistan, the United States and the Global Nuclear Conspiracy” by Adrian Levy and Catherine Scott-Clark, reveals details about India’s secret intelligence links with Israel. It claims that Indian military officials secretly travelled to Israel in February 1983 to buy electronic warfare equipment to neutralise Kahuta’s air defences.

According to the book, India put its plans on hold when the chairman of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission warned the director of the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre that Islamabad would attack Mumbai if Kahuta were attacked.

It states that at this juncture, Israel suggested that it would attack Kahuta from Indian bases, adding that former premier Indira Gandhi signed off on the Israeli-led operation in March 1984. However, India and Israel backed off after the US state department warned India “the US will be responsive if India persists”.

The book also claims that Pakistan was preparing to use nuclear missiles against India during the Kargil war, citing a conversation between former US president Bill Clinton and former premier Nawaz Sharif from 1999.

According to a report released on the Times of India website, the book states that Sharif was unable to inform Clinton of his military’s moves. The president then warned Sharif that he would release a statement pinning all blame for Kargil on Pakistan if Sharif refused to pull his forces back. agencies

I wouldn't put it passed the Chicoms in stealing those codes from us and sell it to the highest bidder.
