She and the hubby apparently don't have the brains God gave a goat...Firstly, the US stood by as Pakistan got nukes. I mean, Pakistan makes Iran look like the nice little old auntie.
Second, only one nation has actually used nukes, and that was the country that is, by far and away, the biggest threat to global security in the world today. The US.
The ultimate enemy of Pakistan is India.
Can you provide quote from Pakistani leadership threatening to wipe India off the map?
1. “Israel, a small country of less than eight million people, looks out at a world where leaders of much larger nations threaten to wipe it off of the map.”
— President Obama, speech to the U.N. General Assembly, September 21, 2011
2. “It was only perhaps three weeks ago that the president of Iran once again said that Israel should be eradicated off the face of the Earth. As you recall, it was about in 2005 when he [Mahmoud Ahmadinejad] said before that Israel -- he would use a nuclear weapon to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth.”
— Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), September 19, 2011
3. “Outrageous statements by Ahmadinejad, such as a pledge to wipe Israel off the map, made it easier to keep that coalition together. Germany had been considered the weak sister of the group, but after Ahmadinejad’s comments about Israel, the historical burden of the Holocaust made it difficult for Germany to appear too sympathetic to Iran.”
— Glenn Kessler (aka The Fact Checker), “The Confidante: Condoleezza Rice and the Creation of the Bush Legacy (St. Martin’s Press, 2007), page 188.
Wise up.
There are some nations that should never be allowed a nuclear weapon.
Do you know ANYTHING about Pakistan? Seriously?
This is a country which hid Osama Bin Laden away from the Americans for how long? They won't tell us. However long enough to be found there. It's also a country which, as ally to the US, was sending kids off to Afghanistan to fight, well, er... US soldiers.
In 1999 Musharraf had a bloodless coup. He literally took over the country because he controlled the armed forces. The Supreme Court declared the coup legal, but military rule was allowed for only three years. So Musharraf set up a referendum and with 98% of the vote was allowed to stay on, literally as military dictator. Suited the needs of the US just fine, who needs to talk about democracy when you have a dictator as friend?
Musharraf was unpopular by 2007. People wanted him gone. However the Supreme Court ruled that he could run for re-election. Surprise surprise. Musharraf won the election and declared that an era of democracy was in Pakistan. The sort of democracy that isn't very strong, obviously.
Later that year impeachment proceedings forced Musharraf into exile.
This is an example of how Pakistan is a country that is prone to coups, a country which says one things and does another, which has major problems with Islamic extremists in its country, but also seems to have consent of some of the politicians. It's a country which can't control it's own borders in the slightest, doesn't seem to want to, deals with some extremists but mostly doesn't, attacks the US while being it's ally and supposed friend. Oh, and it has nukes.
As for Ahmadinejad, he was a lot of talk and not much else. Just because someone says something doesn't mean they're going to do something. You have to understand why they might say such a thing, and I'm supposed you don't understand. You listen and you just take it because it's what you want to hear.
This was the question: How many US hostages is Pakistan holding?
Go on, you tell me.
I'll tell you about Iran. There's Roxana Saberi, no, wait, she was released. There's Joshua Fattal (27), Sarah Shourd (32), and Shane Bauer, wait, released. So I make that zero hostages.
However there's a woman called Caitlan Connemara Coleman, captured in Afghanistan, might be dead, might be in Afghanistan, might even be in Pakistan. Who knows?
