*What Total American Idiot Supplied Nuclear Weapons To A Muslim Nation?*

[chesswarsnow]

Sorry bout that,

1. But seeing Pakistan is a muslim nation, and on the edge of being a typical muslim hell hole.
2. Who was in charge when WE issued out Nuclear Weapons to them?
3. That wasn't such a great idea, eh?
4. Could be we will see a terrorist have these weapons in their hands in a short amount of time.
5. Maybe Iran is trying to get them?
6. I wouldn't be surprised???
7. What are your thoughts on this matter?
8. All this and a bag of chips, right here on DP.

Regards,

A pakistani named kahn developed pakistans nuclear program. He got his components from various black market sources, especially the russians, and probably stole a lot of information from india. After developing pakistan's atom bomb he went on to set up and sell black market materials all over the world. He got immunity from prosecution and is considered a pakistani hero. A lot of what iran has today is because of him.

Why did Musharraf give him immunity? And why is he considered a hero in their country?

You mean the ones that were let to fall into disrepair because of the liberal, peanut farmer, military hater, moron, carter that gouged and sliced the military budget to keep said helicopters in repair?

So, what you're saying is, no American gave nuclear technology to Pakistan. I would imagine that a person with any historical perspective (or The History Channel) might have been aware of this.

I think if you would do a bit of research, you would find that defense spending rose each year under Carter, after five years of decline under Nixon...

but hey, don't let the truth get in the way of a good rant, eh?

Uh, here's the graph, showing defense spending as a function of the GDP, which declined under Carter.



Note how the line slopes downward during the Carter years (1976-1980).

And here's one showing it as a percentage of discretionary spending, which also declines.

Ronnie gave everything to the Iraqis to fight Iran. Then he gave all kinds of assistance to the Taliban in afghanistan to fight the russians. so I can'
t say as it was anyone other than RR that gave up the nuke.

as a function of GDP, the line has had an overall downward slope since the end of the Korean War, with one marked uptick for Vietnam, and a gradual upturn during Ronnie Raygun.

My point stands as is.
