re: #58 Kenneth

When we read about the “Taliban” today, bear in mind, this is not the Taliban of 10 years ago. Then, the Taliban were a bunch of ignorant Pashtoon tribesmen. Today, a large number of the fighters, including most of the senior commanders are Al Qaeda. These are Arabs, Chechens, Uzbeks and others.

If Pakistan falls and the “Taliban” get hold of the nuclear arsenal, then Al Qaeda will have nuclear weapons.

Bingo… So we really want ALQ to have nukes? Hell no… Will we pre-emtively attack them to prevent it? Hmmmm….
