Taliban Threat to Pakistan Part Two

The New York Times: Has an excellent article on the move of the Taliban from the badlands of the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan in to Pakistan proper, how the Government of Pakistan is appeasing the Taliban, how this is a threat to the West. Even the Liberal Times gets that the Taliban are a threat, one gets the impression that the paper wants the Government of Pakistan to take a firm stand against this Terrorist movement. The Taliban are not just a threat to Afghanistan and Pakistan, they are a threat to the West, Pakistan is a nuclear power, there is no way around that fact, so if the terrorists take over Pakistan what is the plan to get the nuclear weapons out of Pakistan. This planning should be a major priority of the Obama Administration.
