on the contrary, it is highly likely the americans have 'secured' pakistani nukes, despite the aq khan circus. the folks over at bharat-rakshak first suggested this three-four years ago, and it has been confirmed by others.

'We are not certain where Pak's nukes are'
November 11, 2007 - Rediff.com
Concerned about the safety of Pakistan's nuclear weapons in the wake of the growing unrest in the Islamic nation , the United States has prepared a contingency plan to safeguard them, but senior officials are worried over their limited knowledge about the location of the arsenal.
'We cannot say with absolute certainty that we know where they all are. If an attempt were made by the United States to seize the weapons to prevent their loss it could be very messy,' The Washington Post reported on Sunday, quoting a senior official as saying.
Of the world's nine declared and undeclared nuclear arsenals, none provokes as much worry in Washington as that of Pakistan's as some of that country's territory is partly controlled by insurgents bent on committing hostile acts of terrorism in the West.
