In his first State of the Union Address after the September 11 attacks, President Bush said "Our second goal is to prevent regimes that sponsor terror from threatening America or our friends and allies with weapons of mass destruction.” The President had Saddam Hussein's Iraq foremost in his mind when he uttered those words. Saddam is gone now and the world is still looking for his WMD cache. There is another regime, however, that is thriving despite having nuclear weapons and strong links to terrorists. It is the regime of Gen. Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan. Pakistan is, on the “official record,” a US ally in the War on Terror……… 

From Indonesia to Australia to Kenya and even Turkey, every terrorist event seems to have a Pakistan connection. Every Islamic terrorist, no matter where he is arrested, seems to be either born in, trained in or has been hiding in Pakistan. Even Pakistani media is aware that their country provides sanctuary to Islamic terrorists from every corner of the globe. One prominent daily reported that as many as 36,000 militants are being trained in the seminaries of a single Pakistani province! Indeed, despite Musharraf’s tall promises, Pakistan still remains Jihad Central…….

Sinister collusion between Pakistani nuclear scientists, intelligence officials and Al Qaida linked terrorist groups illustrates a clear and present danger to America. But is the Bush administration paying attention? And can it do anything about it? Only time will tell.
