This scary article shows us again the spectacular failure of US policies and indeed of the US. They've been sending billions in military aid to an unstable country in a dangerous area. Now they're making making provisional plans to attack upto ten high security Pakistani bases in the event of a civil war. You're joking of course! They can't even find Osama, do they expect to roll over a well trained Pakistani army (well supplied with American arms)? Americans have been watching too many Hollywood movies or more likely they're smoking too much hash! The Sunday Herald's poll question asked "are you optimistic about 2008". Seriously, I'm just hoping the World can survive one more year of this clown Bush and his 'Darth Vader' VP Cheney.

Is anyone on standby to seize or disable the USA's nuclear weapons if their leaders go mad?

I think it's just BRILLIANT for us to make a public announcement about this. It's sure going to make those who believe Pakistan is under too much influence from the US sooo much more comfy tonight.

its very funny article, writer ,seems like clearly under the influance of dope ,watching ramboo movies in a redneck trailer home. pakistan is not a banana republic, its a 160-million strong nation,and they fwill fight to the last((they have history of uniting in crisis) and they will retaliate with whatever they have(in this case the nukes)trust me will be able to save some in anycase.so i sugest to the writer ,please take a deep breath and cut the grass in front of your trailor park home,somke some weeds and sleep ,and not worry about pakistani nukes.

Here we have the domino effect in reverse! America worried about nuclear weapons falling into the wrong hands in a country it has militarily supported for years. Are we to witness another illegal invasion of a sovereign country? What will the British satraps do at Westminster? Stand by or join in? I think we know the answer to that question? If so, where does America's self appointed guardianship of the world end? Who wil be next? And under what pretext? Well we know the answer to that? Just shout terrorist, Al qaeda Osama and they all charge like the Gadarene swine headlong into the quagmire!

US special forces will have to stand in line. The Russian, Chinese, Indian and Iranian people are more at risk; I imagine the million or so Pakistanis in the UK will be somewhat concerned as well.

Uhh, the Special Forces of the U.S. are always on alert. The contingency plans for this started the day after the Paks popped their first nuke and have been updated regularly as well as plans for Israeli nukes, South African Nukes and the makings of nukes in other countries thought to be less than stable. This is not news. As for the comment by the Pakistani that their country of millions stand ready the repel an invasion, that lacks any creditability what so ever. You could not protect Bhutto and you cannot even capture the bandit Bin Laden who operates and dwells within your borders.

[bold]bold[/bold] You better believe JSOC has a contingency for this. This will be a combined task force, made up from Operators from every branch of the armed services. They will need firepower, they will strike in the dark, and i believe ALL those facilities are being watched right now. I wonder wat conventional unit will be charged with dealing with the 10,000 that guard these sites. There is no doubt the XVIII Airborne Corps is up to the task. Godspeed boys, it may be a 1 way trip. Those inept p-stanis will never know wat hit them, but they will recover. How do we get our people out ?

The end of the world as we know it is on the event horizon. A seventh century death cult is close to having a nuclear bomb. And myopic weenies worry about the big bad USA. Get a grip. What do you want? A Belsan, Madrid, London, Bali or other with a nuke. When the fruitcake Islamists get the bomb, you better hope you are upwind.

Ur right Samie of greenock....we should just adopt the do-nothing policies of europe.....let's see, say we have to kill 500 to potentially save a million or so....geez, it just don't add up. dipshit.

Fortunately for James and Andrew, the adults are still in charge for now and are willing to risk blood and treasure to keep you safe in your socialist cradles and at your next anti-American march.

So much to correct here, so little space... #1) Pakistan has always been a mess--long before the US made them a partner in the War on Terror. The US is not responsible for the recent assassination of Bhutto, Al-Qaeda is. I'm sure that the blame America first crowd can figure out a way to blame America first, of course. Pakistan should not have been allowed to go Nuclear DURING THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION. #2) The reason we can't find Bin Laden is b/c we don't know where he is. We do know where the nukes are, so we can get them. If anyone in cyberspace thinks they are more capable of finding Bin Laden than the US military/intel services, please do so. There is a $25 million bounty on his head. Looking for Bin Laden will take away from your "hate the US and Bush administration" blogging time, but that's ok. #3) The nuclear weapons of the US, THAT PROTECTED THE ENTIRE FREE WORLD DURING THE COLD WAR INCLUDING CANADA AND THE UK, are perfectly secure and our leaders are sane, thank you for asking. #4)Time for a review. The US helped defeat Nazisim and Japanese imperialism during WWII. If we hadn't Germany would have taken over all of Europe/Japan much of Asia and the world would be a much different and worse place. The US did most of the heavy lifting during the Cold War. AND, WHAT A SURPRISE, the US is doing the vast, vast majority of the heavy lifting in the War on Terror as well. The world owes the US more than the US owes the world. YOU'RE WELCOME. #5) If innocent civilians are killed in Iraq by Americans--it is an accident. They are killed intentially by the terrorists. Learn the difference. #6)Now, may I offer any of any you anti-Americans/anti- Bush people a big cup of shut the heck up?

#1) Pakistan has always been a mess--long before the US made them a partner in the War on Terror. The US is not responsible for the recent assassination of Bhutto, Al-Qaeda is. I'm sure that the blame America first crowd can figure out a way to blame America first, of course. Pakistan should not have been allowed to go Nuclear DURING THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION. Correct to some extent but you fail to acknowledge the reasons why they went Nuclear, namely India having Nuclear Weapons created an imbalance of power that drove Pakistan towards developing its own. This is the same principal that led to the madness called the Cold War. #2) The reason we can't find Bin Laden is b/c we don't know where he is. We do know where the nukes are, so we can get them. If anyone in cyberspace thinks they are more capable of finding Bin Laden than the US military/intel services, please do so. There is a $25 million bounty on his head. Looking for Bin Laden will take away from your "hate the US and Bush administration" blogging time, but that's ok. Wrong. The US and in particular Rumsfeld did not commit enough forces to the Afghan conflict, exactly the same mistake was made with Iraq. Believe he thought that smaller and more mobile forces would solve all problems, a view disputed by most of his Generals. This is what happens when you let a politician take control over military planning. It's especially worse when he is a coward who dodged fighting any wars and prefers to send troops to their deaths. Others include: President Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Libby, Pearle etc. Also irrespective of the reward offered are you now suggesting that the US expects the average person to find Bin Laden even though they let him get away. Think you need to stop reading pulp fiction from the Wild West era and try living in reality. #3) The nuclear weapons of the US, THAT PROTECTED THE ENTIRE FREE WORLD DURING THE COLD WAR INCLUDING CANADA AND THE UK, are perfectly secure and our leaders are sane, thank you for asking. Read the history of your country. Nixon wanted to use Nukes and had to be stopped by Kissinger. And to suggest that the current President of the US has his faculties, I would always be wary about a man who advocates the teaching of Creationism as scientific fact to kids in school. #4)Time for a review. The US helped defeat Nazisim and Japanese imperialism during WWII. If we hadn't Germany would have taken over all of Europe/Japan much of Asia and the world would be a much different and worse place. The US did most of the heavy lifting during the Cold War. AND, WHAT A SURPRISE, the US is doing the vast, vast majority of the heavy lifting in the War on Terror as well. The world owes the US more than the US owes the world. YOU'RE WELCOME. Yes you did but not for the noble gestures that you claim. The US used WW2 as a business transaction. Support given on the basis of loans and other conditions (read the history). Also you relied on European support during the Cold War as you eventually realised that if Europe fell to the Russians you would be alone in the fight. At least read the history of the conflicts before adopting the 'if it weren't for us you'd all be speaking German' mantra. #5) If innocent civilians are killed in Iraq by Americans--it is an accident. They are killed intentially by the terrorists. Learn the difference. Aah the old we're noble in our intentions tripe. Why don't you ask an Iraqi who has lost their family have they learned the difference? #6)Now, may I offer any of any you anti-Americans/anti- Bush people a big cup of shut the heck up? You've just summed up the problem with US politics. You venerate your President to such an extent that any criticism is viewed as unpatriotic or anti-american. You can criticise the politician and still love your country - Blind loyalty and unquestioning devotion to one man and his flawed policies is unpatriotic and an affront to those who died in the name of freedom.

Ahh-the old blame the Americans addage. Great to see how so many other capable countries-i.e. CANADA, are supporting the "find the nuclear weapons cause." Thanks for the support guys! Hope everyone who wrote an insult against America has had to either serve in a military capacity or had a loved one serve. Don't knock the American mission unless you've suported the cause yourself.

JP you were johnny-come-latelies in both world wars and only moved in when your country saw an economic advantage. Quit your whing and bragging and go to hell.

Leroy, So let me get this straight, you only favor American intervention when it helps Europe, the UK and her possessions? Like Canada for instance? But when it actually benefits American interests you have a problem with that? You curse the very country that protected you during the Cold War? HOW DARE YOU! Get a clue and give credit where credit is due. And no America will not stop bragging, the world and Canada (America's Hat) owe us too much.

All of our Canadian "[italic]friends"[/italic] need to be mindful of the fact that Nuclear detonations in Chicago, Boston, New York, Seattle, Minneapolis et al on the Northern tier of the U.S. will lead to the death of millions of Canadians due to fall-out, you see boys fall-out doesn't stop at the border and ask for permission. We have a vested interest in the disposition of the Pakis nukes, but then so do you. While we here in the bad old US of A realized that the largely feminzed population of Canada will be of little use in any military operation requiring "going and doing" as opposed to parades for the opening of Parliment, we would like to see you chaps at least stand by quietly and hold our coats while we get the job done. So in the nicest most polite terms possible, kindly hold your tounges while the adults do what needs to be done, there will be time afterwords for Monday morning quarterbacking with the Pakis nukes are secure.

Some very funny comments on here about who actually armed Pakistan with illegal Weapons of Mass Destruction, t'was the US of A. Again some feeble excuses and buck passing on Alqaeda. the USA has never been seeking OBL and his band of brigands they have simply been using them as virtual shields as they too pass the buck for unanswerable questions. Pakistan's evil dictator has learned some lessons from the USA and used Alqaeda as scape-goats in their plot to stop any chance of democracy breaking out there. They are supported in their diktat by every press agency and even our own dear Prime Minister Brown has supported Musharraf's evil regime by calling for Pakistanis to accept their lot without protest, demonstration or marches? This passivity suits some other leaders in their dodgy elections too so the Americans here should not be lecturing or threatening other nations.

EDiV, #1 True, the Pakis did go nuclear b/c India did, but India did in the 1970s and the world should have done more then to stop this. Even so, letting Pak go nucleart is the biggest foreign policy disaster of the late 20 century. Pakistan would be a much smaller problem today if it didn't have nukes. Yes, the Cold War was no walk in the park, but it was better than another hot convential war fought in Europe. #2) Clinton missed chances to get Bin Laden during his administration. I don't find your use of hindsight to tell us what we should have done at all impressive. We should have done this instead of that. Wow, no kidding? I live in reality. Within which the US saved the UK during WWII. #3) The world at large has much more to fear from Islamofacists the US. What exactly have the Islamofacists done for the world? #4) Wrong. We did it because we knew we might be next if Europe fell and it was the right thing to do. And if it wasn't for us, you would all be speaking German. Yes, we were partners in the Cold War in Europe, but the UK was not in Vietnam, but it should have been. #5) Yes, wars are painful for the generation that live through them. Wars are for the next generation. I hope that a secular, capitalistic, democracy emerges in Iraq and and spreads throughout the Middle East as it did in Europe/Pacific post WWII. What do you hope for? Us to fail in Iraq so you can say "we told you so?" #6) You guys have been snide and condescending so I will be snide and condescending. Can I interest any of you anti-US/Bushies a cup of shut the heck up?

Do you think the US Special Forces were on High Alert on May 3rd/4th just in case Sir Ek and Nicola decided to highjack the WMD on Scottish Soil and drop them on the offices of all the Scottish Newspapers?? Happy New Year!!!!

Dennis- This is why you yanks are going to lose this war. You go around bad-mouthing everybody, blustering hate from yourc omfy armchairs then whining everybody hates us. You can't even bring America into agreement because you slam each other. Pitiful inbred navel-gazing hillbilly freaks. Go to hell.

Dennis from Florida is right. We Canadians have let our armed forces go downhill. The UK is but an islamic country itself and their inhabitants leave in droves to make way for immigrants. Their navy can even fend off the Iranians. Europe won't do anything but appease so I hope America takes the good fight to the terrorists. All you Europeans can whine and drown in your liberal political correctness.

James, the Pakistanis have our full cooperation. They wouldn't try to prevent us from taking the WMDs from imminent capture unless somehow Al-Qaeda managed to infiltrate the entire Pakistani army, which you know as well as I do, would be impossible. In no way has America shot itself in the foot.

hey leroy, news flash..... we ain't losin' ****....the tide has turned, and Bush will be proved right when history is written.

Hey Jimmy from north edinburgh.... what the **** has scotland every done?

Lets not be blinded here people. Dont forget about the two most powerful families in the free world! The Rockefellers and the Rothschilds which both fall under the secret society The Bilderbergers. Not to mention Both Bush and Kerry belong to the Skull and Bones society so if it wasn't going to be Bush as President it was going to be Kerry and we would still have this war reguardless. Nothing happens in the world with those two families hand in the middle of it.

Scotland forever ! Kick the feck outa him, Jimmy.

Hey guys, lets not forget what Canada is mostly made up of. They are mostly made up of americas weak and an attempt of france to become a super power so its no wonder they hate the U.S. Why is Canada even speaking! When they can contribute to this world then maybe.

Loud-mouthed, ignorant, obnoxious yanks invading the comments section of Scotland's Quality National Newspaper. Just like they like to invade and take over countries as well... The 'good old' US of A IS THE PROBLEM!! Muppetts.

Condaleeza says: the US was "prepared to try to deal with it (the nuke thing.)". The incompetance is overwhelming. The US is always "prepared to try to deal" with everything...particu larly where it has NO BUSINESS and usually on the wrong side of issues...and generally without success.

What's the EU ever done? The US had to come and clean up the messes in your backyard cause your militaries are pathetic. The UK is the EU like it or not and your national flag should be white. Scotland's contribution to the world..the loch ness Monster...whoo hoo.

Its not the paper that I am invading its the people like you that think you know everything and spread your hate. Why dont you join the Al-Qaeda if you hate freedom and western views and lets see how far you get. Whats with this yank stuff. Whats a yank? Try an American. As for putting our business where it doesn't belong! It belongs everywhere becuase we are the only counrty to do anything about anything. I dont see any other country putting soldiers in ****'s to protect the Nukes! You must be one of those americans that were weak and went to canada

The yanks are right. I wish the EU had the ability to go in and secure or destroy the nukes, but we don't. We can't even muster much of a navy or fighting force anymore. Thanks America. PS-Don't listen to these young UKers, they are euroweenies now taught to appease, not to stand and fight.

To JP and EdiV: Thanks for saying in an eloquent and FACTUAL manner, what I wanted to say. Some of these people with their criticisms about the United States should read a few history books. Then maybe we could have a real conversation instead of "Bush lied people died" idiotic bullshit spew. Also, there is actually a significant portion of British and Canadians that DON'T hate the United States.

I woud like to add in my previous post to EdiV: What I really wanted to say to you was that I appreciate that you do have quite a bit more intellect than some of your Canadian offspring here. However, I have to completely disagree with you concerning the " madness called the Cold War." Stalin had complete control over the U.S.S.R. at the end of WW II. I'm sure you would agree he would have over-run all of Europe if there was no Normandy invasion. Even after the war he tried an incursion into Iran. He stopped short of a complete occupation mainly because Truman said NO! Therefore the U.S. and the rest of Western Europe really had no choice in the escalation of the Cold War if they wanted to survive.

We have the ameruroweenies in the United States too. Fortunately 3/4 of Americans understand what needs to be done and we also understand that not all British and Canadians hate the U.S. Dont worry world we are like the UPS, when everyone is sleeping we will deliver.

What the "useful idiots" in the West can never understand is that this war with Muslim terrorists is for keeps. There is only one winner and the loser will be given two choices: bow the knee to Allah or be shortened above the shoulders. I think that in an emergency such as we have brewing here, than anyone who gives aid and comfor to the enemy should be rounded up and imprisioned or better yet, shot. Starting with Sean Penn.

To add to your cold war topic; Patton wanted to take out USSR after the war ended. Imagine what the world would be like if no USSR!

Yeah we have no business seizing the nukes right because the Islamo-nutbags will only target Bush supporting Americans and leave the rest of u idiots alone right. Get a clue...the minute these morons went nuclear, we had plans to seize em if things went bad. I'm sure the Indians are doing the same thing. And please don't ever compare **** or any other forces to that of America..the rest are all chidlren playing at war. Seizinga few airbases will prove alot easier then subduing 100 armed Taliban i the Hindu Kush.

I hope the USA has contigency plans to invade Canada and seize all the fruits n nuts up there, only problem is where to place them.

Too late..we already invaded you.

Lots of blame and whining going on here. Where are the solutions?

#1)True, the Pakis did go nuclear b/c India did, but India did in the 1970s and the world should have done more then to stop this. Even so, letting Pak go nucleart is the biggest foreign policy disaster of the late 20 century. Pakistan would be a much smaller problem today if it didn't have nukes. Yes, the Cold War was no walk in the park, but it was better than another hot convential war fought in Europe. Beg to differ on this. Invading Iraq on the premise of a lie and destabilising the Mid East has to be the worst foreign policy decision of the last generation. That coupled with the election of Bush, the most divisive and radical US president since Nixon is a close second. The election (coup detat) of Bush was also one of the worst, his brand of base politics - appealing to the God, Guns and Gays demographic has destroyed US politics. #2) Clinton missed chances to get Bin Laden during his administration. I don't find your use of hindsight to tell us what we should have done at all impressive. We should have done this instead of that. Wow, no kidding? I live in reality. Within which the US saved the UK during WWII. Hindsight? Sorry this wasn't hindsight but the result of one man's arrogance, read the background and critique of Rummy - he didn't listen to any of his generals and acted as though he was Napoleon, master tactician and planner. This isn't about hindsight it's about accountability, something that has been lost within politics on both sides of the Atlantic. And about saving us, what was the fee? Have you done your homework? Lend Lease, access to trade with the Commonwealth and installing the dollar as the international standard currency will steer you in the right direction. In other words this we're noble nonsense is a lie - you were only in it for what you could get out of it. How low does that make a nation? Holding another to ransom while they are the vanguard against Facism - the last true fight between good and evil and you set preconditions before you'd join the good fight? Read the FACTS then come back... #3) The world at large has much more to fear from Islamofacists the US. What exactly have the Islamofacists done for the world? The is currently a war of Fundamentalisms and I fear those crazy Islamists (Islamofascists? you must watch Fox News) equally as much as I fear the Christian Fundamentalists who have hijacked US politics. #4) Wrong. We did it because we knew we might be next if Europe fell and it was the right thing to do. And if it wasn't for us, you would all be speaking German. Yes, we were partners in the Cold War in Europe, but the UK was not in Vietnam, but it should have been. And if it wasn't for the French, you wouldn't have independence. And if it wasn't for us you would be speaking Japanese. At least our assistance didn't have financial preconditions attached to it. Therefore you didn't help because it was right, you did it with conditions that ensured US financical dominance in the Post War World. Don't know if you're aware of a fine American called Bill Hicks. He did this gag where he's asked by a waitress in a Diner 'What you reading for' and he replied 'well I've never been asked that before but I suppose I'm reading so that I don't end up becoming a f**king waffle waitress'. Suggest you try the reading thing and stop believing everything that Fox News brainwashes you with. #5) Yes, wars are painful for the generation that live through them. Wars are for the next generation. I hope that a secular, capitalistic, democracy emerges in Iraq and and spreads throughout the Middle East as it did in Europe/Pacific post WWII. What do you hope for? Us to fail in Iraq so you can say "we told you so?" I want exactly that but more so. I want a future where the leaders of my country are intelligent enough to know the history, culture and customs of people. They then use this knowledge to assist in the planning of any interaction with these people based on achieving a common goal and mutually beneficial relationship. In lay terms I want people that have brains to be in charge of my country, not cretins like Blair and Bush who falsely engineered a war that we didn't have to fight; mismanaged the post war planning; had no understanding of the culture of the prople who we are trying to democratise; based our strategy on an array of myopic and xenophobic assertions that we would be seen as liberators and welcomed; delivered those same people into the hands of Al-Quida and spent the last four years trying to sort out the consequences of our assumptions. I would also like to live in a world where our leaders are held accountable for their actions, something that hasn't happened in the last decade in US and UK politics. Finally, I have family serving in Iraq at the moment and I certainly don't play silly partisan games and hope our troops lose., I wish they weren't there in the 1st place and guys like Bush and Blair were in the Hague for embarking on this illegal war. #6) You guys have been snide and condescending so I will be snide and condescending. Can I interest any of you anti-US/Bushies a cup of shut the heck up? Think you suffer from that dissociation thing where you can't distinguish between the person and the office, namely your own President. You can criticise the actions of a man in a position of power and still respect the position and what is represents. Your constant reference to Anti-Bushies implies that you are pro Bush, watch Fox News, believe the Earth was created in 6 days and have a wife and sister who are in fact the same person. GOD BLESS AMERICA

In spite of my tongue-in-cheek blasting of Americans I exagerate. Most Americans I know are quite nice and often very intelligent. I met one man, a grandpa from Wisconsin visiting Manitoba. It took awhile before he brought up the present political situation. He had a son who had died in Vietnam and a grandson serving in Iraq. Once he started the floodgates opened. In Wisconsin, he said, he and anyone else kept their mouths shut about politics. Was he afraid of the government ? Nope, he was afraid of his fellow citizens. During Canada's last election we had the unprecedented spectacle of an American ambassador advising the Canadian public who to vote for ! Amazing gall. We watched Americans booing canada on O'Reilly's Fox show, our troops are in Afghanistan doing very well, but when the victims of American freindly fire we were treated like we deserved it. American politicians disregard for international law merely encourages every American to take the law into their own hands (see sean Penn commment above.) If laws don't apply to Bush or Cheney why should they apply to anyone? Yes I truly think America is going to come very close to losing their war on terror. Nobody cares anymore- America has lost moral standing in the world and not because of Britney Spears its your law-breaking leaders that are dragging you down and the rest of us with you.

Something that I find facinating is that the Liberals in Canada and the US are exactly of the same mentality. Yet, when the conservatives were voted into office in Canada the Liberals chanted about how much Stephen Harper was akin to G.W. Bush! On both sides of the border it is the Liberals who want to appease our enemies, it is the Liberals who want to blame the west for the world's problems, it is the Liberals who want to throw money at corrupt governments ... as long as it's not their money, it is the liberals who value the rights of criminals and terrorists above the rights of our own soldiers and citizenry, it is the Liberals who have lost all sense of morality, it is the Liberals who in spite of what they say .. are anti-family .. it shows in their actions and the things that they support, it is the Liberals who are against God unless that diety's name is Allah! It is the Liberals who demand separation of church and state unless it is concerning Muslim prayer rooms in schools or Muslim foot-baths in public buildings, it is the Liberals who are in support of sexual freedom and so-called liberation and thereby demand that the result (the explosion of fatherless children) be supported by the tax-payer (again as long as it's not their money), it is the Liberals who fail to realize that the reasons the radicals hate us so much is due to their immorality and support of all that this entails! Find out where these dandies are leading us .. read The Cadence Prophecies .. available through http://www.conservat ivestorm.com .. Scary Stuff!

I always vote Conservative. Harper would have probably got a majority if it hadn't been for American Celluci's meddling in our democratic process. Harper himself said it wasn't very helpful. Canadians are not sheep.

Candence Storm. Are you Ann Coulter's and Karl Rove's lovechild?
