Panetta: Location of All Pakistan Nukes Not Known
So much for the "plan" for the US Military Special forces to go in and take control, if something happens.

Panetta: Location of All Pakistan Nukes Not Known

Monday, May 18, 2009 8:25 PM

WASHINGTON -- CIA Director Leon Panetta said Monday the United States does not know the location of all of Pakistan's nuclear weapons but is confident the country has them secure.


Panetta spoke days after the top U.S. military officer told Congress there is evidence Pakistan is adding to its nuclear weapons systems and warheads. Pakistan, however, denies it.


The CIA director was asked about Pakistan's nuclear program at a forum organized by the Pacific Council on International Policy.


"We don't have, frankly, the intelligence to know where they all are located," Panetta said, adding the U.S. is confident the Pakistani government has a "pretty secure approach to try to protect these weapons."


That security is something the U.S. is watching, he said. "The last thing we want is to have the Taliban have access to nuclear weapons in Pakistan."


At a congressional hearing last week, Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, was asked whether there was evidence that Pakistan was adding to its nuclear arsenal. He replied: "Yes."


Pakistan is battling a growing Islamic insurgency with links to al-Qaida and the Taliban, and Washington is considering giving the government billions of dollars in aid to fight it.


Mullen said in Washington on Monday that the U.S. has focused some aid in recent years on improving the security of Pakistan's nuclear weapons, and the country has used it for that purpose.


Pakistan is thought to possess more than 60 nuclear weapons under a program that began when its rival, India, started producing them.

So much confusion, who knows what to believe. Confusion about NUKES is never a good thing.

Let us say for a moment that this is about to turn as ugly as anything can turn.

If this keeps on the track it is heading, we are easily looking at WWIII.

China will NOT sit back and let Pakistan point Nukes at them and India will simply go nuts on Pakistan.

Israel will start non stop sorties into Iran and if they need too, will go into Pakistan as well and Syria and Russia will do all they can to hinder Israel.

Russia will prop up Iran and North Korea which will also piss China off and will put China having live Nukes on almost all sides of her borders.

This will start lighting up all the Nuclear Powers and they will all go on alert and warm up their missiles for launch.

Russia will post all her available Nuclear Subs off the United States Coast for strikes on DC, New York, Florida, the Mouth of the Mississippi and New Orleans, all Command and Control Centers they know of, California up to Washington State.

Everyone will have Long Range Bombers in the air 24/7 and Civil Unrest will be like you only ever see in Horror Movies.

Lesser disciplined Armies will splinter off into Marauding Factions and will go Rogue in some areas out of opportunity.

Saudi Arabia and Egypt will have to make some sort of decision on how they intend on protecting them selves from the Nukes that will surely pound Israel as will Jordan.

Libya will crank up again and cause North Africa to go into a frenzy and with Central Africa already a powder keg, it won't take much for the entire continent to just loose all perspective and common sense.

Somalia will be in hog heaven.

Vietnam, Cambodia, and Burma will go freggin nuts rampaging all over Southeast Asia and Thailand will probably fall pretty quickly and Laos will just get chewed up in the grinder.

Japan will scramble to try to sure up her defenses as best she can which won't be much - - but they will try to the death.

Indonesia will just be a slaughter house.

Australia will try to hang on until Britain can get them some help, but then Britain, France, Germany, and most of the European Union Nations will be having to fight off the Muslim Extremist inside their own countries.

The Balkans will go butt up again and Russia and Georgia will rip into each other while attentions are drawn elsewhere.

The "Kings of the North and the East" will soon turn their Armies toward Israel in a giant push to put her down once and for all and she will be left almost all alone since the rest of us will be busy defending our own soil and Obama doesn't care about the Fate of Israel anyway.

Chavez and Ortega will crank up an Army that will sweep Northward and will pick up Peasant Soldiers along the way and thugs like MS13 and the Drug Enforcers and Drug Soldiers that are already poised and armed along the U.S. Mexico Border.

Mexico will mostly go with Chavez and Ortega's Northward Move just to stay on good terms with these Murdering Dictators and keep the Drug Thugs off the Mexican Soldiers and Police.

The Netherlands Nations will have to make a decision to either engage or be swept up into the whirlwind - - there will be no Neutrality in this war because the Attackers have no Conscience or Compassion AT ALL.

Canada will have to commit to the United States or be slaughtered as an outcast who has very little defenses of her own.

All these Hated and Reviled United States Armed Militias the Congress and the TOTUS loath so much will be Welcomed with Open Arms as part of a Civilian Defense Force to supplement our Middle East Deployed Military and take up that much needed slack inside the U.S. - - sorry Robert that you won't be joining us, but you are who you are after all.

All "Militia's" can be Activated under times of Natural Disaster and National Security - - so the Gun Haters like Biden just might get his worthless ass saved by an American Citizen Gun Owner when the fan is on Double High.

And this is the 'Best Case Scenario" I can come up with .... would you like to hear the Worst ???

Well, the PAki Nukes have PAL Interfaces on them. We put them on for them back in 2002.

Plus the Paki nukes are kept separate. The "physics packages" are kept separate from the rest of the warhead. If someone steals a nuke, they have to steal things in two separate places, which complicates things.

The quandry here is that any nation that lets another nation know where its nukes are is by definition too irresponsible to be allowed to have them.
