Yet we are more angry that N.Korea MIGHT put nuke technology in the hands of terrorists and Pakistan has already has done this, including giving it to N. Korea.

2. Well silly, that's because Pakistan is part of the Coalition of the
Willing or we will bomb you back to the stone age club.

3. Uhh...
We were none too happy about Mr. Khan doing what he did. Pakistan didn't give the technology to anybody. Their fucking Dr. Strangelove is the one who helped North Korea get the bomb, but it wasn't the government of Pakistan's doing. They were probably less happy about it than anyone.

5. this is the nice official version
Of course Musharraf was aware of what was going on. His intelligence agency knows everything (even where OBL is hiding). In reality what Pakistan did was swapping the nuclear technology against missile technology. But I think that North Korea has been the loser on that one. Pakistan has functioning missiles while it's very probable that NK packed a tunnel with 500 tons of TNT and blew it. Former big explosions in NK those last years indicate that it could be the case. In the worst case they have a poor nuclear fission technology that doesn't allow to create sufficient supercritical mass to trigger a basic nuke.

4. PAKISTAN-THE SWEPT SECRET
Edited on Wed Oct-11-06 07:09 AM by luckyleftyme2
The "Bush" administration has continually kissed Pakistan's ass,while sweeping under the rug the fact that it's president helped form the taliban. Yes he's ex-military
and yes the taliban was formed in Pakistan and imported to Afghanistan.
The proliferation of nuclear technology continues to spread through out the world.
Both the benifical like cheaper electric power and the bad,the bomb. Prehaps if we published all the people worldwide who are aiding in this spread of technology both good and bad we the people could find a solution.
How many americans know that "Rumsfeld" was on a board of directors whose company had a 200 million contract to provide nuclear reactors to "North korea".
How did this guy get his position?

7. How many American even know that US companies had a contract
with N.Korea. Isn't it time for the Americans to find out. What campaining Dem will hold up a picture of Rumsfeld shaking hands with Saddam in one hand and a picture of Rumsfeld sitting at a board meeting with the company holding this contract? It would be a real winner if someone had the guts.

What company was it.

6. Actually Pakistan and NK swapped nuclear and missle technology
Pakistan is only "with us" because we blackmailed Musharaff. I have no doubt that given half a chance Pakistan will dump US and slide back into alliance with the Taliban.
