Taliban Islamists Nearing Pakistani Nukes - Defense/Middle East - Israel News - Israel National News: "“History indicates that Iran is… a rational nation,” Ellis argues, while “the Taliban and Al Qaida are brutally irrational and will not hesitate to use weapons of mass destruction against Israel. Thus, the Taliban/Al Qaeda nuclear threat dwarfs any imaginary Iranian threat. The international community, including Iran and Israel, must collaborate to reduce this symbolic and real threat, which could affect any nation. The international community cannot afford to commit another Bushism, expending war resources on the wrong threat. The United States needs a coalition of nations to confront the looming potential of a nuclear Taliban/Al Qaida and cannot afford any more distractions in the Middle East.”"
“The immediate danger is heightened exponentially by Pakistan being one of the world’s eight nuclear powers,” columnist Joel Hilliker writes, “possessing between 60 and 100 nukes, scattered throughout the country. Amid escalating chaos, some of those bombs are sure to slip into extremist Muslim hands. Though the United States and others talk about preventing this scenario, they simply aren’t willing to take measures forceful enough. Signs are, in fact, that the Obama administration is beginning to realize this is a losing cause.”
Pakistan's Taliban terrorists have, in fact, advanced beyond their stronghold in the Swat district and along the border with Afghanistan to within 100 kilometers northwest of the Pakistani capital, Islamabad.
To think that the nuclear arsenal of Pakistan is secure is reckless at the least.
