#1 A slip of the lip?

That's how green glass parking lots get made, genius.

#2 Whew! That's a relief. However, let me play Devil's Advocate and suggest that a theater nuke war might provide just the sort of urban (and political!) renewal Pakistan needs.

Shouldn't you wait, like 48 hours, before making statements like this?

#6 unless they wait for o-bam admin, then a nuke against our troops will result in an apology from our DOS and a trip to the UN for hand wringing and possibly, a strongly worded letter.

#7 Rantburg, keyholder of the US Nuclear Arsenal.
Now there's a scary thought.

Don't lump us all together, dipschidt.

Some of us actually are informed. And some of us do (or did) hold the keys.

Indeed. And others here collected the intel that identified targets.

#11 And the rest of us are just snarky.

Can you show me how? I need some for landscaping, yeah, that's the ticket...

#13 Let's see...
The US has 5000+ nuclear weapons and has ICBMs.
Pakistan has 50-100 nuclear weapons and no ICBMs.
Pakistan "will not demonstrate any irresponsible attitude."
Good thinking, dude. Pretty rational for an Islamic state.

#14 Some of us have tea parties just for fun. On the other hand, I think my rabbi's brother drove nuclear submarines before he got promoted; they have all sorts of cool toys, right?

/No haven't got a tour. I haven't even met him -- he's busy these days, or so she says.

#15 Some of us ran ships that carried them. If we faced down the Soviet Union, we sure as Hell aren't going to be worried about a pack of goatherders who've gotten their butts kicked by India three times.

Those Pak boys better not let their mouths write a check their butt can't cash.
