Nuclear Fission I.

This is coolbert:

We have all heard by now the hysteria [?] and fear-mongering [?]?

Pakistan is fast becoming a failed state. The place is going under, the central government is coming apart and the center will not hold.

The Taliban, after being given autonomy for Sharia law in the Swat valley, now aspire to much, much more! Want the whole enchilada as they say.

The Taliban are now moving toward the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, Mullah Omar and his fellow semi-literate madrassa graduates seeking to impose their rule and dominion over 175 million Pakistanis.

AND IN THE PROCESS, ACQUIRE NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND THE DELIVERY SYSTEMS FOR SAME!!!

American and Indian government strategic planners are right now biting their nails over this one.

It will be touch and go, so goes the consensus, no less authority than General Petraeus giving the central government in Islamabad about two weeks to straighten things out!!

Especially the great fear of nuclear weapons falling into the hands of the Taliban, the association, the almost "hand in glove" friendship between Mullah Omar and Osama being of particular worry!!

To prevent Pakistani "nukes" from falling into the hands of Al Qaeda, it has been suggested that eventual American military intervention maybe required! Rangers, paratroopers, special operations troops of all shape and form, conducting missions to find and secure the atomic arsenal of a nation purportedly friendly to the U.S.

COMPROMISE OF THOSE NUCLEAR WEAPONS CANNOT BE TOLERATED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!

So goes the drumbeat of war!!

AND WE CANNOT ALSO PRECLUDE THE POSSIBILITY OF INDIAN INTERVENTION EITHER!! EVEN MORE SO, THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA SURELY FEARS NUCLEAR WEAPONRY AND DELIVERY SYSTEMS FOR SAME FALLING INTO THE HANDS OF THE TALIBAN/AL QAEDA EVEN MORE SO THAN U.S. AUTHORITIES!!??

American military units seeking out Pakistani "nukes" to prevent compromise will not find themselves alone in the "hunt"?

The thought regarding Iran and even more so the Taliban is that nuclear deterrence as generally, commonly, and ordinarily understood will not work with these folks. Again, even more so with the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Osama in particular would relish the thought and not hesitate for a second to use atomic weapons on an American target.

NORMAL DETERRENCE WILL NOT WORK WITH MADMEN SUCH AS OMAR AND OSAMA!? THEY DO NOT FEAR A RETALIATORY ATOMIC STRIKE BY THE AMERICAN MILITARY?

ON THE CONTRARY, THEY WOULD WELCOME A RETALIATORY RESPONSE, HOPING TO FURTHER ALIENATE THE
UMMA [Islamic world-wide community]?

It is even reputed that Osama personally asked the ulema [Islamic legal scholars] if it was permissible under Muslim law to use nuclear fission as a weapon.

AND THE ANSWER WAS - - YES!!

Bite your nails, and bite them hard??!!

More to follow!
