What was Raygun & 41's response to Pakistan getting the nuke? Ever wonder?

[sinkingfeeling]

"We have helped create the conditions that exist today for the big bomb," said Milt Bearden, who was a senior CIA officer in Pakistan from 1986 to 1989. "Our marvelous sanctions forced their hand -- forced them to go where they are today."

In 1985, Congress enacted a law requiring the president to certify that Pakistan was not
building nuclear weapons and thus eligible for continuing military and economic aid. And every year from 1985 to 1990, Presidents Reagan and Bush certified just that.

"Reagan and Bush said it ain't a bomb until they turn that last screw and paint B-O-M-B on the side," Bearden said.

1. Yea, but I think you forgot that 9/11 changed everything.

EVERYTHING!

[blm]

2. Poppy Bush HELPED Pakistan get the bomb - he protected Khan and blocked

Kerry's BCCI investigation at every turn with his blatant efforts to protect the terror network that was operating with full knowledge of the Bush WH.

Why do you think this Bush WH has been so silent and uncooperative about Khan's trial for nuclear proliferation?

It's all about BCCI.

3. 1985 to 1990, Presidents Reagan and Bush certified and lied

It was MISSION ACCOMPLISHED when Pakistan got the bomb.

China was not needed - if they had not stepped in our CIA would have helped out.

Good Grief - Under Reagan within 3 years of our developing a small bomb (200 plus pounds but that means it was a "suit case bomb") China had the design - and was publishing their improvements in Science journals! the CIA officially says they did not discover the theft until 91 when someone read the journals.

And no one says Reagan gave China the bomb!
