India-Pakistan
Musharraf says N Korea links over
2003-11-08
Pakistan’s president says his country did obtain missiles from North Korea but all defence contacts are now over. General Pervez Musharraf, ending a three-day visit to South Korea, said Pakistan had not handed over any nuclear technology in return. He said: "There is absolutely no interaction with North Korea whatsoever on any defence related matters."
"No, no! Certainly not!"
President Musharraf said in Seoul on Friday that his country had obtained short-range missiles and technology from Pyongyang but that now it could make the missiles itself. Pakistan has been suspected of supplying uranium-enrichment technology in return for missiles but President Musharraf said there had been "no transfer and no proliferation" of such technology. He also said that visits to North Korea by the father of the Pakistani nuclear weapons industry, Abdul Qadeer Khan, were related only to the purchase of conventional missiles.
"Well, yeah, she was nekkid and I was nekkid, and we wuz on the bed, but, honest, honey! Nothin' happened!"

#1  LOL!

1. "on any defence related matters"

2. "no transfer and no proliferation"

3. "visits to North Korea by the father of the Pakistani nuclear weapons industry, Abdul Qadeer Khan, were related only to the purchase of conventional missiles"

Anybody believe ANY of these assertions?

1. Why qualify the statement with this? Who has any other kind of connection to Nork, other than MommaSan China?

2. Right. Norks developed everything else they have (exactly what they have seems to be in dispute if the CIA has recovered and is providing intelligent intelligence -- is that still an oxymoron?) all on their own. Sure thing. They can't feed themselves, but they are nuke whizzes. Yep. You betcha.

3. Why send the "father" of Pakiwacki's Nuke Pgm to buy conventional missiles? Isn't this guy a tad important, perhaps too important, to send off to see the looney Dear Leader for something less than vital? Since Pakiland measures the size of its National DICK by its nuke deterrence to Indian nukes, does anyone with 2 neurons to rub together buy this?

Even one "coincidence" makes a good detective nervous. Three? Naw, he'd never buy it - and neither do I. Smoke? Does anyone smell smoke?
