Mission accomplished.
Impeccable logic, but no, not quite - the bogus Islamist international has yet to be provided with Pakistani nukes. Then mission accomplished...

A (slight) aside...chilling one. I was able recently to download from a hidden, but known-to-me part of the internet a technical document on Fourth Generation Nuclear Weapons. These 'things' can be amazingly small - small daypack could take a few!, amazingly powerful, and 'versitile' in their deployment. Further, not so hard to build anymore. I don't know what size/generation Pakistan has, but the idea that a nuke is a large warhead on a large missile is an outdated concept - yes, they exist, but would not be the weapon of choice except in a strategic war. Sadly, soon enough we will long for the 'good-old-days' of car/truck bombs.....
