President Obama is on track
I did not expect him to act so swifty. One of his first utterances on foreign policy was for Pakistan to act soon to tackle the existing terrorism in that country. Obama has now corelated the economic aid to Pakistan to toeing the line on terror. But I am sure his administration is already worried. Why do officials from the military announce foreign policy decisions to their counterparts? Only yesterday there was a strong military delegation to Pakistan talking to Pakistan’s arny strongman General Kayani. As expected, the Pakistani army is pissed off. They have almost retaliated by asking the United States to get lost. There is a small stockpile of nuclear warheads which God alone knows who is controlling in Pakistan. There is also a nuclear rogue named Y.Q. Khan roaming around freely in Pakistan as a hero. If he could give the secrets to the terrorists it could get worse. Two members of the Senate, Richard Lugar and Chuck Hagel have already warned Obama about the danger of nuclear warheads being hijacked by the terrorists.
The son and dance after the inauguration is now over. Obama will soon have to sign an executive order (with his left hand) to do something about Pakistan and the rogues sitting hostile inside.
