"So, bb, are you suggesting that Pakistan could pull off an nuclear attack on the US???"

No, I was not- although they COULD.



"BTW, keep in mind that Pakistan's rocket techmology was sold to North Korea and look what happened when North Korea shot off one of their Pakistani designed missles..."

Sorry, it was N. Korea that sold the rocket technology to Pakistan...
AND Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, et al.

And what did happen? they went over Japan and into the Pacific Ocean.



"You are giving way too much credit to folks who are clueless.."

You are giving way too little credit to people who have shown they can develop what the US had 30 years ago.


"You also fail to recognize the reality that the US can wipe out anyone who is stupid enough to attack us with missels... :

Only if we

1. had the will/ public acceptance
2. knew who it was that launched the attack
3. had the capability to wipe them out- Were you one of those that stated it was impossible to eliminate Iran's nuclear program because we could not destroy the whole country?


"T^his is the deterrent factor that folks who think we need more nukes can't get their minds wrapped around..."

** I ** have never stated we need MORE nuclear bombs- I would prefer to see the effort used for defensive systems like ABMs.

"As for India attackin' US with subs??? Is this a reason to put ABMs on Russia's doorstep???"

No, it was a negation of your statements, showing them to be false.

The reason to put ABMs " On Russia's Doorstep" is to intercept the Iranian missles ( which they already have) IF they are launched against US ALLIES ( Those we have treaty obligations to protect) with the nuclear warheads that IRAN is capable of developing in the near future ( 2009? 2012?) and which they have a demonstrated capability to produce fissionable material for.

Or do you WANTY to wait until they are used, so you can destroy the entire country with our retaliation? I would far rather stop them ( by destroying those missles before they impact) before they kill millions than kill tens of millions more in revenge, as you seem to be advocating.
