It's worse. They've got more of them, and some really creepy fuckers could get their hands on them. Most rational people think that Saddam would use nukes, if he had them, only as a desperation move if cornered. Not Pakistan's nukes if AQ types got hold of them. But we're not supposed to talk about that now, because Pakistan is our friend now. It would be a cliche to call this Orwellian, but the context lends the cliche a little freshness.
