"If there's a 1% chance that Pakistani scientists are helping al-Qaeda build or develop a nuclear weapon, we have to treat it as a certainty in terms of our response. It's not about our analysis ... It's about our response."

I'm completely oblivious to the al-qaeda situation so I don't really know the context of this. But if I try to get at your logic, it would be like saying:

"See? I just went on a drive and didn't get into a crash. All those people that told me to wear a seat-belt were wrong!"

If you think those two anecdotes are the same, good luck!
