good analysis.
given the most obvious primary concern from our point of view is security of the nukes, how do you think the Indians are going to play this if they even get a whiff that Paki nuke security is in question.
It makes sense that we view this thru the lense of the WOT, however, i think it is equally important to give this a look from the view point of Paki-India relations
Between the 18Oct07 attempt and this attack, IMHO, I’d be more worried regarding the security of Pakistani WMD if it really was an AQ hit, than if they were simply being used as a scapegoat by others. Not because of looming actions by AQ, but by the capabilities of orchestrating a coordinated attack from within on such short notice without telegraphing that internal threat, IMHO would indicate the security around any existing strategic systems have probably already been compromised far beyond our ability to perceive it.
