I think you are wrong. He got the weapons to defend against India and they are a deterrent. But if pakistan is about to be overrun by islamic militants, Musharraf knows damn well what will happen to those weapons. And i think at that point what i suggest can may come to pass. This is only an educated guess on my part. Another poster alluded to chatter about this in the region so i am not alone in my speculation. But admittedly it is just that.

It's much more realistic to think that whoever implements the coup that unseats Musharraf will also immediately seize control of the nuclear assets. The idea that WE could quickly move in and secure them is ludicrous - just use our intelligence as to Iraq's WMD's as a reference point. The only comfort is that the next leader of Pakistan will probably be another high ranking member of the current military. We can only hope he's as sane or saner than Musharraf, who after all, did allow (or encourage) AQ Khan to proliferate nuclear technology.
