Obama: "Pakistan's nuclear arsenal is secure,"

During President Obama's prime time press conference he declared that Pakistan's nukes will not fall into the hands of the taliban. He said he believes the Pakistani military understands the grave danger if the taliban were able to get a hold of some of Pakistan's nuclear arsenal.

I on the other hand do not share the President's optimistic view of Pakistan's military forces.

WASHINGTON -- President Obama said last night he's confident Pakistan's nuclear arsenal will not fall into the hands of enemies or terrorists because that country's army understands how dangerous that would be.

"I'm confident that we can make sure that Pakistan's nuclear arsenal is secure," he said in his third prime-time press conference last night. "Primarily, initially, because the Pakistani army, I think, recognizes the hazards of those weapons falling into the wrong hands."

Taliban forces -- aided by elements of Afghan forces [added by me: and Pakistan secret service the ISI], as well as al Qaeda -- have come within about 50 miles of the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, in recent days, threatening a critical US ally that possesses as many as 100 nuclear weapons.
