For those of you who thought the capture of Saddam was the big news this month, you might want to find out how many assassination attempts against Musharraf have come this close to succeeding in the last 60 days.

And just who do you suppose is trying to blow his American puppet ass off the face of the Pakistan plains?

Now imagine this: You are the Taliban, once supported by the American government in your holy war against the Russian invaders. Then the American government ignored you, and you made an unholy alliance with Al Qaida, also once supported by the American government. After being toppled from power in Afghanistan and being forced to live in caves along the Afghan/Pakistan border for a cupla years, you finally manage to stage a military coup in Pakistan. A good enough portion of the Pakistan military is on your side. You are really pissed at the British, the Americans, the Indians, and the Israelis.

You Taliban now have at least a six pack of nukes, and the capability to nuke those who you perceive as having done you wrong. Knowing the Anglo American axis of infidels is at your doorstop, poised to invade, what do you do?

Discuss?

No.

Nuke the bastard infidels?

You bet.

Bagging Saddam didn't mean jack shit in the geopolitical nuke chicken game, despite Doug's neo con fantasies to the contrary. Why? Because we already knew neither Iraq, Iran, Korea, or Libya has nukes.

But we know for sure that Pakistan does. But never mind that. I'm SO SURE capturing Saddam will act as the great shield from those pesky Paki nukes, and keep us safe from all evil.

Aaaaaahhhhhhmmmmmeeeennnnn.
