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.

I think at this very moment it can be overrun by Islamic militants. 5 minutes from right now, Musharraf could be dead.

Here's your option stated rather simply....

In any case it is not outlandish to believe that a Western man such as Musharif would do the right thing and let the US know how, where and when to get the nukes if he is killed, overthrown etc.

Put some meat on that option, sic detail. Do you think that Musharaff is going to pick up the phone while the Islamic fundamentalists are coming through the front door of his palace with RPGs and AK-47s?

How is this notification going to occur? A personal phone call from Musharaff to Bush. ... Dubya, you have a pen and paper handy? He has a draft e-mail in his Outlook drafts folder with all the details? How is this "do the right thing" going to happen?
