As far as i'm concerned Pakistan are the biggest terrorist state in the world.
The biggest mistake the west ever made ,was letting the Pakistan become a nuclear state ,and it may well come back to bite the west in the arse one day.

Also I'm glad Admiral Mullen ,has finally spoken up about the ISI ,and as for Pakistan saying the United States risks losing it as its ally ,Pakistan has never been a real ally.

Plus the ISI is so powerfull and wide reaching in Pakistan there is no way on this earth that the ISI didn't know about the Haqqani attack in advance on the NATO headquarters in afganistan ,and Admiral Mullen knows this.

Maybe they are planning an ambitious raid to take the nukes, I certainly wouldnt be surprised but doubt that it would ever get past the drawing board.

Oh...

It's been discussed here at ATS a few times. This is from 16-1-2010 Elite US troops ready to combat Pakistani nuclear....

The US army is training a crack unit to seal off and snatch back Pakistani nuclear weapons in the event that militants, possibly from inside the country’s security apparatus, get their hands on a nuclear device or materials that could make one.

The specialised unit would be charged with recovering the nuclear materials and securing them.

Why take their nukes when they can just detonate one of them?

They may even get to study the Earth's core after that.


On a serious note, Aren't Iran proposing a gas pipeline across the south of Pakistan that has essentially been chosen over the US's proposed pipeline?

Surely the US is not about to throw it's toys out of the pram?

Since they have nukes... no.

But we should stop funding Pakistan.

Is this post saying Pakistan doesn't have nukes or Afghanistan - because Pakistan sure does...their "God" of the bomb has even tried to spead the good nuke message around the world.

Unfortunately as much as everyone is aware of the double agent mentality of ISI, US needs them in the region to maintain their strategic/economical presence and keep China in check. If we pullout, China is waiting to get in on the game to dominate and project its power in the south east asia and possibly become less dependant on the west for the oil trade/business for which it spends a lot of money to maintain China's growing hunger for oil. Iran is a big vendor for China and there are only 2 small countries seperating China and Iran (Afghanistan and Pakistan). The new 'Silk Road' is very profitable along with pipelines to be built from Iran to other countries as well. China will provide the necessary logistics and equipment if the US pulled out and will perhaps capitalize on the Oil and Energy business in the region which the West (Europe and US) has been dominating in many parts of the world. Russia has its own piece of the pie but surely the new player has to be kept in check although China has already started several collaboration projects with Oil and Natural gas drilling efforts around the world with many countries including Cuba.

When were they friendly to the US?

They helped fund 9/11
They provide intelligence and weapons to the Taliban
They hid bin Laden for ten years.

Yeah...I think they already are an enemy. And the only reason we haven't taken out the Pakistani ISI or it's corrupt military is because they have nukes.

I agree, the Taliban is strong because of Pakistan ISI funding in 1994.
