#5 Accounts of the discussions between Mr. Musharraf and the intelligence officials were provided by American and Pakistani officialsofficials

This article seems to be pure speculation

Washington's most important person--the Anonymous Senior Official ("ASO") (from John Bolton) seems to have been very busy briefing the MSM!

#8 No nukes = no need to concern ourselves with those skidmarks ever again.

I wish it were that easy, Bigjim. The problem is, Pakistan is the source of 90% of the cannon fodder in the "War on Terror". It's also a center for the movement of funds, a source of top-notch phony credentials, and a haven for people like Zawahiri and bin Laden. If we're going to be in Afghanistan for the next 20-30 years (a very real possibility, with the stupid way we're fighting), we need better supply lines. Pakiwakiland needs to cease to exist. Utterly destroying Pakistan would serve many functions: it would remove a source of manpower and training; it would remove one set of Islamic nukes from the battlefield; it would secure one set of supply lines for US Forces; it would reunite the Pashtuns into a single country (which would remove most of the reasons for the tribal clashes); and it would solve most of India's problems with its internal muslim population and reunite Jammu & Kashmir - under Indian control. That would allow India to free up several million troops to confront China and Chinese-backed "insurgent" groups. The only losers would be the Pakistani political and religious class, which needs to be slammed up the side of the head with a metal cluebat anyway. It would also put the rest of the world on notice that we will NOT continue to support a status-quo that kills our people - something the Islamists really need to learn.
