| 'US trying to capture nuclear assets of Pakistan' says Pak Law Minister |
| 2008-02-15 |
| ISLAMABAD: The Bush Administration is trying to take the custody of the nuclear arsenals of Pakistan, caretaker Law Minister Afzal Haider has said. "By putting fingers on the security of Pakistan's nuclear stockpile, US wants to destabilise the region that is replete with natural resources. America's aggression against Afghanistan and Iraq is part of the same strategy," he told a gathering on the occasion of the 29th anniversary of Iranian revolution. Haider said that the 1979 revolution of Iran had bestowed courage to that country to stand against the biggest "Satan (America) of the time." Haider appealed to the Pakistanis to deeply analyse the Iranian revolution to learn a lesson from it, "as it could help us eradicating our woes." Former Pakistani Foreign Secretary Akram Zakki said that the US had no guts to attack Iran. "US attacked Iraq under pretext of the Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) despite the fact that it had got solid reports that the country has no such kinds of weapons while on the other hand it wants to resolve the nuclear issue with North Korea through talks," The Nation quoted Zakki, as saying. He went on to say that the at last the US would have to negotiate with Iran to settle the issue. |

| #5 A good thought experiment to judge the state of a country is to throw the doors open and observe whether people run in or run out. I don't think you'd be seeing people run into either Iran or Pakistan. |

| #1 Well, whatever the reason, I support the US trying to capture nuclear assets (and a$$hats) in Pakistan. Take care of that problem and who cares what happens to that Islamic Paradise on Earth™. |
