If this article ever gets it way to Pakistan, Musharraf will have so many problems from the moderates that he may have to step down, if this cant that US is secretly trying to attack Pakistan nuclear weapons with Israeli help is known by my country, you will see the tinder box Pakistan is sitting on. The entire nation is behind the president solidly on this issue of getting the Taliban and Osama out but on any thing else they will go berserk, the national interests will not be allowed to be compromised.
I hope that this shameless, blatant one sided blind attempt to drive a wedge between Us and its allies is treated as a single point streak of propaganda and is dismissed as ‘wish list’ that could have been not what it is. You exactly know who is behind it and what is the whole intention, to get US against the world and beast the hell out of the world and reach to end of the day, the biblical prophesy of some that until Messiah will not come until the end of the day, this can be a pretty nice script to achieve. What a baloney!!
<A senior military officer, after confirming that intense planning for the possible "exfiltration" of Pakistani warheads was under way, said that he had been concerned not about a military coup but about a localized insurrection by a clique of I.S.I. officers in the field who had access to a nuclear storage facility. "The Pakistanis have just as much of a vested interest as we do in making sure that that stuff is looked after, because if they"—I.S.I. dissidents—"throw one at India, they're all cooked meat." He was referring to the certainty of Indian nuclear retaliation: India's nuclear warheads are more numerous, more sophisticated, and more powerful than Pakistan's; its Army is twice as large; and its population is more than seven times as large.>
Are nuclear weapons pop corns that a field officer can do what he wants, if that was the case we would have had that incident by now, if the Pakistan Army was so much infiltrated by ‘Islam’ as it is made out to be we would be dead cooked meat by now any way. The author wants to drive a huge wedge, what is the intention of this article, does the author wants this article to start a war between US and Pakistan? Of course this being given that Pakistan will crippled in no time. So are the plans are to take over the entire world against US, break any kind of logic and reason in this war so as to ensure self interest and motivation of ideology that these planted people have? This is blatant half-truths based very myopic interest. Driven by ‘fear projections’, I find this article foolish and unprofessionally written, in search of vain glorification of some hidden hands who can ruin everything but cannot make peace in their own backyard, who are we trying to glorify here, a nation who has greatest of handle on terrorism and trains US but runs tanks funnily enough in their own back yard.
As if Afghanistan bombing is not enough, is that is what intended as next step, is this how the policy is being driven, if anything else would not de-stabilise Musharraf this will, a master piece written by propagandist with their objectives to see to it that war goes out of control. This is a clear effort to derail this present coalition, sow the seeds of doubt and make this war impossible and than after failure a new bigger coalition that may include the bigger players like India- Israel and a bigger conflict of civilisations. That is what I have made of this article, getting hostages out of a plane is a great achievement to destroy a country with nuclear weapons a different category of risk and would involve far more discretion and careful management. This is just propaganda and nothing more. Yes US can do without any problem what ever it wants, as it can decimate every living being in no time but are we really talking here of contained response or assumptions based response, are we talking of declared enemies or talking about allies who can be enemies if they are toppled, are we talking about solving present problems or creating bigger ones as warmongers find new hard targets that may look good on sensational filled 24 hours live coverage of war, is war becoming so much a fun that new vistas and perceptions are being discovered, I think this is baloney of highest order and anyone who think and believes in it is little plain. This is story telling at its best and unfortunately if anyone believes in this bed time stories they can, the actual facts are far from these very destructive thinking.
<Some of the government's most experienced South Asia experts have doubts about Musharraf's ability to maintain control over the military and its nuclear arsenal in the event of a coup; >
Who will bring this coup? I just see how much viciousness has gone in this article.
<Pakistan now has at least twenty-four warheads, which can be delivered by intermediate-range missiles and a fleet of F-16 aircraft.>
Please don’t buy this underestimation. No Pakistan may have more than 100 and F-16's has the capability to deliver, it has got 7800 Nuclear Scientists and accepts 500 graduates each year in this expansion of indigenous training to produce reactors, one in Kushab is on line 300 MGW capacity with a small reprocessing plant and that can help the plutonium grade weapon. The cadre has become huge and the training of scientist continue unimpeded but so does the resolve that assets are not for trading and despite of acute financials difficulties and greatest interest of Indian allies like Iran, Iraq’s Saddam where India sided with no one and was neutral, and Yaser Arafat we don’t let anyone come even near to our research facilities as Dr. Kadeer once quoted that only ‘one Arab man has entered the plant’ and that was Crown Price Abdullah.
Until 1998, May 11 all this was hidden but after India came out with 11th May 1998 Thermo Nuclear devices and neutron bomb efforts and crowed about achieving a full manhood (George Fernandez) the Pakistanis came with a little –ick of theirs the rejoinder that called their bluff, that little rejoinder has made India a 'major power' belittled to a fiddle with a much less insignificant 'power' like Pakistan, when nuclear equation is in play conventional superiority is wiped clear, that error of judgement on part of India to call Pakistani bluff on Nuclear device was the blackest day of our history and our region. Our installations are based on 1 minute flight as you leave Islamabad airport in Kahuta these are centrifuge enrichment of uranium to weapon grade, they were constructed after brazen display of Indian might of so-called ‘peaceful nuclear detonations’ we had a commitment as a nation since than that we will not be a second fiddle to the Indians ever, like US did not liked to become a second fiddle to USSR or Israel does not like a second fiddle to Arabs. The nations respond to quality of threat as they are faced with changed dynamic of threat perception, the country responsible for making Pakistan a heavily armed nuclear state is Indian no one else, Dr. Kadeer Oppenheirmer of Pakistan nuclear programme said that it was soon after 1972 that he decided to leave the Netherlands Metallurgical Labs to start Uranium enrichment based on centrifugal technology, a very sophisticated system that was only possible once Indians dared the region with their mighty display, the roots are tragic and the region today is stuck up with all this nuclear baggage. Had these 1972 explosions not taken place this scientist would not have established his Labs in Pakistan and reprocessing route had total domination so Pakistan could have had technology but no Uranium or plutonium to make anything, it was quid-pro-quo and it have very calming results, from 1947-1971 we had three wars with India every 8 years one, since 1971 our conventional levels were lop sided but after 1987 once ‘nuclear parity’ was achieved it should have not been made open, but research demanded Indian to explode and get out of cold testing to a hot one, so once the Pandora box was opened the other side responded within 15 days as they had the Chagai establishment ready for years.
I can see that despite of multi layered and complete respect of norms like all Nuclear Powers have this bomb with Pakistan is a major problem, first because by thinking that a coup will be initiated second that assets will be taken by fundos, both very amazingly childish assumptions, as article itself refers to highly disciplined nuclear scientist in next few lines forgets that Pakistan four bases and territorial waters are being used for this war going into Afghanistan, even a friends of US like me feel like saying ‘enough is enough’ if that is what you are going to do us lets forget about this phase an start the next phase of decimating Pakistan, luckily the ‘Zionist- Extremists Hindu’ plot that writes such scripts finds not much of a ear in Washington, that was the script that was foreseen but not followed by the US post 11th of Sept.
Without Pakistan’s support US efforts would be brought to still, by the way this is a typical propaganda that the word has been led to believe, and I am sure that this blind sided hatred will never finish because the interested parties with greater vested interests have great curiosity to see that if Pakistan nuclear assets can be taken out this time, I think that Pakistan has been responsible to hold and control the assets well, Indians who are now brought to earth by dealing with a less significant player on basis of ‘nuclear parity’ knows that well, first we have fought wars without collateral damage, we will never be the first to introduce nuclear weapons and since 1988 the bomb in the basement has never been used as ‘element of compounded threat perspective’ only it was taken out after May 11 when India dangled their rude power and declared a new relationship with us based on their superiority that we never accept, we brought them to our level of strategy by letting them know on 28th May that please take due note of your bluff. I assure you that those who are prisoners of this kind of vicious propaganda will only see that despite of huge openness and as BBC said today the most vibrant and open press in Asia, our society has the ability to contain this very nicely.
<One U.S. intelligence officer expressed particular alarm late last week over the questioning in Pakistan of two retired Pakistani nuclear scientists, who were reported by authorities to have connections to the Taliban. Both men, Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood and Chaudry Abdul Majid, had spent their careers at the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission, working on weapons-related projects. The intelligence officer, who is a specialist in nuclear proliferation in South Asia, depicted this latest revelation as "the tip of a very serious iceberg," and told me that it shows that pro-Taliban feelings extend beyond the Pakistani Army into the country's supposedly highly disciplined nuclear-weapons laboratories. Pakistan's nuclear researchers are known for their nationalism and their fierce patriotism. If two of the most senior scientists are found to have been involved in unsanctioned dealings with the Taliban, it would suggest that the lure of fundamentalism has, in some cases, overcome state loyalty. "They're retired, but they have friends on the inside," the intelligence officer said.>
None of these are material players, enrichment of Uranium needs to be done in centrifuges that have rpms of in excess of 90,000 per minute for weeks that is how enriched Uranium is obtained with a dedicated 120 MGW plant for each installation, the cores are transferred to Army who have huge control over the operations, most of these scientists like Russian scientist who are retired are paid nothing but have shown no interest immigrate or accept offers from any other country to migrate but any way as far as west keeps a complete control of proliferation related exports I see no problems of any kind. Are these scientests as it is assumed has connections with Osama going to enrich Uranium in micro oven? The whole of Afghanistan has no electricity lest the 120 MGW for chruners, forget about htat enriched Unranium does not make a bomb it has to be tranferred to different unit, all these unit protected by a Brigade, the command and control structure well diversified and the delivery systems are with the Air chief again a ferociously independent Air Force that refused on points of strattegy to take the war with ndia in Kargil beyond land incursions... , F-16's or Mirages are with Air Force and each base has base commander with 28 years experience and recipient of War Course, has Israeli Army only learned the theory of war, every modern Army is very academic ours is far too much to the extent that war games are more often than not a trough of officer pride games too.
General Javed Nasir as CO of Brig Mussharraf had once thrown his war games on his face as they were not very competently written, no officer moves up from Major until General he has to go through 7 courses equivalent of 6 years of post graduation. I feel safe with all that, this is the reason we are not being bombed despite of best efforts of our neighbours. |
