Good point, however, if that were to happen, and the consequences were an attack on US soil involving that material, even our current leaders in all their modern, liberal, pacifist pussy glory(thanks TR

It's an escalation that I am sure Pakistan's current leaders would try to avoid at many costs, if not all costs. It's a lot easier for them to pay and support people to wear us down, especially if it influences public opinion; IMHO, we learned that the hard way in Vietnam. My .0002
