WHAT nuclear weapons? You mean the same ones which the US accuses IRAN of having right at this very moment--but doesn't have any solid evidence of their existance?
It's funny how Bush also thought that Iraq had nuclear weapons. But he also thought the country had WMDs as well.

What does that have to do witht he article. Pakistan lack teh rocket technology to deliver a nuke into the US. As for Mussaraf, it's Our faul as well as the English that AL Qaia is in Pakistan. This comes from British intelligetns. Al Qaida was able to regroup becasue we were too distracted with Iraq. Secretary of Defense even admits that we created some problems because we ignored Pakistan. We need to build a contingency program to prop up Mussaraff if the rebels get to strong and pressure Mussaraff to give up it's NUkes. Mussaraff is reasonable , atleast compared to the alternative.

From what I know, Pakistan does not have a Nuke that is capable of reaching American soil. They would perhaps nuke Israel, as that is the reason we are so involved in the middle east, but not America. I say attack, there are SO MANY terrorists there, lets take them out. Just be sure we bomb the hell out of the nuclear facilities first.

If you read that very carefully
The US is going to give them money for tribal stuff
And it is thinking aout sending their military in to Pakistan to attack Alquiada
Pakistan hasn't been able to do it themselves - So America is thinkg about going in and doing what they can't
It isn't an attack on Pakistan it is an attack in Pakistan
Subtle difference but - a big one

The US won't attack Pakistan and the Pakistan won't be using it's nuclear capability any time soon.
President Musharaf of Pakistan is an ally of US and the west.

Who knows? We are getting closer and closer to it anyway as countries like North Korea, and Iran (when it does) have it.....we cannot just sit and let the terrorists wipe us out...and they brag they are aiming for here eventually. At least the government in control so far has been working with the U.S.....they say they want to get rid of the terrorists too, which is why we are watching what they do right now very closely.
It is not unfeasible to think that government might ask for our help to get rid of them.....then we would not be attacking them....but the common enemy. It would be taken wrong though by the extreme islamists....it is hard to day what the decision will be.
The liberals are right that President Bush and Vice President Cheney will do what they need to do to protect our country, popular or not. That's why they don't like them....they are not
able to manipulate them. And that's why I like them....even though I don't agree with every single opinion....I still trust them. The liberals have no answers....they just want to get re-elected. It's all they think about.
But this world isn't getting safer, that's for sure.

If frogs had shotguns snakes wouldn't mess with them! If we attacked Pakistan proper, yup you bet ya, but we won't we are considering assisting their government attack the AL Qaeda and Taliban forces in the areas they can't control, that's different although the article gives other implications.

If you were more aware of the meaning of language, you might rephrase your question. Perhaps:
"If the US attacks terrorist bases in Pakistan..."
Because, after all, we would not be attacking the government of Pakistan. It's a much more dicey problem than your mind comprehends.

hope and pray no one uses nukes ever again.
But I wouldn't think they would do something so foolish as nuke. It would be devastating to that region of the USA if it wasnt intercepted and well Pakistan would pretty well be a wasteland after that I would guess.
