Couple days ago I blogged on what the India PM said regarding Pakistan’s nukes:
India’s Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has told President Obama that nuclear sites in Pakistan’s restive frontier province are “already partly” in the hands of Islamic extremists, an Israeli journal has said, amid considerable anxiety among US pundits here over Washington’s confidence in the security of the troubled nation’s nuclear arsenal.
Pakistan has responded:
Pakistan’s Interior Minister Rahman Malik has claimed that at least 1,000 Taliban have been killed during the ongoing military operation against the militants in Swat and its neighboring districts, according to a report in an Urdu daily.
The Pakistani Army launched the operation against the Taliban militants on May 5 in Swat and neighboring districts of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP).
Describing the Taliban as ‘‘enemies of Pakistan,’’ Rahman Malik added: ‘‘The Taliban is eyeing Pakistan’s nuclear weapons. However, if we can make nuclear weapons, we also know how to secure them.’’
Great to hear their confidence, don’t know if I believe him tho. At this point it appears they have allowed the Taliban and other fanatical Islamic organizations to fester for far too long in their country, that’s a scary thought with the country holding nuclear weapons.
Just because they aren’t in the hands of the taliban doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t in the hands of fanatical muslims.
When you get right down to it, it isn’t the Taliban in Pakistan that are causing all the trouble, it’s the Movement for Sharia Law, who happen to be friends of the Taliban.
Given this ambigouity, you can say virtually anything and be correct (or incorrect).
