Citing the "clandestine nuclear trafficking network" of A Q Khan, known as the father of Pakistan's atom bomb, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has warned other countries that the "threat of nuclear terrorism is all too real".

"The economics of supply and demand dictate that someone, somewhere, will provide nuclear material to the highest bidder, and that material will end up in the hands of terrorists," FBI Director Robert Mueller said an international conference Monday, noting that "several rogue nations - and even individuals - seek to develop nuclear capabilities".

"A Q Khan, for example, was not only the father of Pakistan's nuclear bomb, he peddled that technology to North Korea, Libya and Iran. Khan was one of many to prove that it is indeed a seller's market in the so-called atomic bazaar," he said, while addressing a 30-nation 'Global Initiative Nuclear Terrorism Conference' in Miami, Florida.

"The economics of supply and demand dictate that someone, somewhere, will provide nuclear material to the highest bidder, and that material will end up in the hands of terrorists," Mueller said.

Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales also cited Khan's example to stress that "the threat of nuclear terrorism is all too real".

"We know, for example, that Al Qaeda has been trying to acquire or make nuclear weapons for over 10 years. Indeed, Osama bin Laden has indicated that he considers the acquisition of weapons of mass destruction to be an obligation for his followers," he said

It is very difficult situation for US President. One side if they keep on supporting Musharaff , they will loose in Afghanistan to Talibaan forces because Talibaan is getting full support from an important section of Pakistani Army , Ruling Leaders , Political Parties , Elite class, ISI and Religious Islamic Forces.

and If stop support to Pakistan, there is a danger of Lal Masjid Mullah led coup in Pakistan which will result in pakistani nukes ending up in hands of Al Qaida.

Both the situtaions are dangerous and US administration has only few options left which can save their face and lives of US Soldiers ,

1) Complete US grip on Pakistan

2) Pressure Pakistani Dictator to deploy Pakistani Army on Pak - Afghan Border to check flow of recruits and weapons in support of Talibaan in Afghanistan. That is joint Patrolling by US Army - Aghanistan Army and Pakistani Army on the border.

3) Pressure on Pakistan to act firmly against All Islamist Terror Groups in Pakistan . That is crush Islamist Terror with iron fist.

4) Arrest of " Lal Masjid Mullah Rashid Ghazi ( Head of Red Mosque , Islamabad) and closure of red mosque as well as radical madrassa " Jamia Hafsa" now.

5) Send more US , UK led coalition troops to crush Talibaan with full force because victory of Talibaan will result in large scale uprising of Islamists in Iraq and elsewhere.

6) Send US Commandoes to take out Pakistani Nukes now , as sooner or later these nukes will end up in hands of Islamists supporting Al Qaida and will be a threat to US interests in Middle East.

7) Make sure that second line leadership is already trained to take control of Pakistan if President Musharaf is assacinated by Jehadis . The next leadership should be pro US and pro West .( In other words must be anti Terrorism , anti Islamism and anti Al qaida).

8) Send US agents to Pakistani Areas in order to search and hunt Al Qaida Terrorists like Osama , Jawahiri , Talibaan Mullah Omar , and other Terror Lords.

9) Take over Pakistani Air bases and Military Installations now and put US Army there , It will be very crucial and useful for US led Coaliltion while disarming Iran Militarily.

10) If Pakistan hesitates in giving bases to US Army , make sure that India announces to give their bases to US army operations . This will put pressure on Pakistan and all bases will be open for US Army and Airforce.

11) Send Extra troops in Iraq to crush Islamists / Sadars / Al Qaida ,etc . Make sure that islamists are crushed completely before invading Iraq.

12) Making Turkey to join the War to disarm Iran. Tell them that this will be counted when there will be negotiations to decide entry of Turkey to EU . ( Although there should be no Turkey entry to EU)

13) Prepare Israel for Missile Defense Shield , Gas Masks , Anti Missile Systems , Food & Medical Supply as a preparation to War against Iran. Iranian Ayatullahs are crazy and mehmoodinejad has already declared to wipe out our ally Israel. So make sure all defensive measures are taken for Israel and US forces in Middle east before Invading Iran.

14) Give Free hand , Military hardware and other logistics support to Israel so that they can wipe out Hizballah and Hamas as soon as possible. Because its sure that they will open second and third front against Israel during coming war against Iran.

15) Prepare and alert Mossad and Shin Beit to gather intelligence and be prepared for fifth column Muslim intifada and sabotage in Israel during Crisis. Equip Anti Rio Police , Magav , Border Guards and Volunteers to be prepared to combat anything. They can even poison Galeel Lake and cut Israel's water supplies in crisis times. They can even target and kidnap any famour Israeli leader and take hostage and make the crisis worse.

16) Put Full pressure on Syria to remain away from War against Iran . Give a clear warning that either you are with civilised world or you are with rogue mehmoodnejad led ayatullah regime of Iran ?. Give Israel free hand to deal with syria if situtaion arises.

17) Alert all reserves and volunteers in Israel and USA to be prepared for the combat if situation arises.

18) Alert all governments in the West to keep an eye on all muslim organisations and islamists groups in their countries . They may carry out large scale Terror attacks to bring war to the streets of West.

19) Alert Home Security and Counter Terrorism Departments in USA to be on high alert before invading Iraq.

20) Ban all the Islamists websites , blogs , forums ,etc. which are serving as a medium to spread Islamist Propaganda and recruit new Jehadis to attack Allies.That is all the preparations must be done before invasion to disarm Iran.

We are not war mongers , we never support wars. We are against voilence. Make sure all the options , UNO , Security Council , Sanctions , Blockade is done before attacking Iran militarity.

Wage Psychological War and call Iranians to topple the Mehmoodinejad Regime and establish a new democratic regime which is anti Islamism and anto Terror.or show them the horrors of coming war. There are 600,000 Iranians in USA and unite them and ask them to take initiatves and use their influence in Iran to topple Ayatullah Regime and stop Nuclear Uranium Enrichment .If they succeed and Nuclear enrichment is stopped and inspections allowed, There is no need of War. If not be prepared for the coming war in middle east. and prepare with all options on the table. We need to disarm Iran and win the wars in Iraq , Afghanistan and Iran decisively. Losing these wars will embolden Jehadis around the World and threat to US interests around the World.
