The fact is, there is NOT one woman in this world safer because of this war.
The other fact is, is that it was an illegal war, before Mr. Bush even started it.
The other fact is, that he lied to justify going over their and commiting his illegal war.
So, yes, I blame the incompetence and corruptness of this whole thing on Mr. Bush, even in Pakistan, because once again, he is the instigator of chaos and fear in ANOTHER country! ALL FOR HIS BLANKETY BLANK OIL! - Reply to this comment
- If any of the viewers of ALL the footage from those regions is paying ANY attention, of course it was her fault. The only people allowed in public are men. Watch the footage. There are ONLY men present. Of course no one notices ''''insignificant'''' details like this. Everyone knows better than some dumb blogger, but again: yes in that part of the world it is her fault for ''''believing'''' she was allowed in public. But make sure to point your fingers at the current US leaders, and tell them they''''re stupid for ''''starting an unnecessary war over oil''''...yeah, right.

So, she should have just shut up and stayed in the kitchen? Such an enlightened point of view from you. - Reply to this comment
From the looks of it, Ms. Bhutto was just another U.S. Corporate stooge, and I am glad that she will not be installed as the new "leader" of Pakistan, though this does not excuse her being executed by the Musharraf regime.- Reply to this comment

- Benazir knew she was in danger but she went there anyway. She was moved by the cheering crowds and put put her head through the sunroof and was killed. Brave lady. The others in her vehicle were not hurt seriously because they kept their heads down. Sad that a righteous, fearless lady was struck down by fanatic jihadists. She was not the first nor will she be the last to be murdered by these Islamic maniacs. It was not Musharraf''''s fault. It was Al Queada or one of the other jihadist groups.

So it was her fault that Musharraf did not provide her with adequate security, as she requested? Now, while there is still a long ways to go before proving if Musharraf had a direct hand in her death, but he sure helped things by his lack in progress in routing those same jihadist groups out of his country, as he promised seven years ago. But, like Bush, the only promises he keeps are the ones that benefit him and his cronies, and no one else. And if Bhutto did not return to Pakistan, how could she have run for office? Or was she supposed to just shut up and go away, like Musharraf and others wanted her to? - Reply to this comment
Who cares what this washed up, brutal military dicator, with nukes, has to say?
Blaming the victim is an age old favorite tactic of despots, just as our current leaders are now attempting to blame the people of Iraq, for the misery that we have subjected them to, as a result of our criminal war of aggression.
Heckuva'' job, Pervie!!!
When can we expect the next fake and contrived video from the "American" Zionist poser, Adam Gadahn, (Pearlman)? I could use a good laugh.

- OMG! What a crock!
The Bush administration puts out that they INFORMED Ms. Bhutto of the threats! Now Musharraf proclaims it was her OWN fault that she was murdered, because she was informed. Whatta pair!
If this wasn''t so tragic it could be a spin comedy! They expect the world to buy this????
If she was a citizen of her country, and they knew that threats were being made to MURDER her! Where were all the police that should have been surrounding her to protect her from it? THIS IS NUTS! - Reply to this comment
- Musharraf and Bush deserve each other. They both are petty tyrants only concerned with themselves, never mind the people they are supposed to be serving.

- The Real WMD Threat
Another chilling example of security in Pakistan, our "finest ally" in the region. Now, consider the parallels between Saddam and Musharraf...
Both maintained secret police agencies that matched the Gestapo for cruelty. Both aspired to be "populists" in the sense of broad popular support, yet routinely pitted one social class or religious group against another.
While claiming to represent the wishes of their people, both scourged every effort at democratic reforms and hounded political opposition into exile.
Both defied the rule of law, establishing themselves as the ultimate authority. Both were bitter enemies of certain Islamic religious hierarchs, and clashes between the army/secret police and Islamic clergy were frequent and bloody.
One or both dictators were hailed by a president named Bush as staunch allies in the region.

- The Real WMD Threat-- 2
Both dictators considering becoming a nuclear power, but Musharraf managed to do it-- all the while, under the non-proliferation scrutiny of both the US and Europe.
After 911, congress told Bush to find bin Laden in Afghanistan. Enlisting the aid of Pakistan, Bush pointedly did not demand Pakistan surrender its bombs. Nor did he seriously question Pakistan''''s nuclear transfers to other Islamic states of Iran, Libya, and Malasia. Or even those to North Korea.
Instead, he praised Musharraf, whose regime had engineered the Islamic bomb and fostered nuclear proliferation for some 30 years, and attacked... Iraq.
Clearly, WMDs never were the security issue Bush claimed. By attacking Iraq, which had no bomb of its own, and ignoring Pakistan, which had both bomb and delivery system ready, Bush revealed Iraqi oil reserves were his primary objective. - Reply to this comment
- Musharaff, suspect number one in the deaths of many who opposed his undemocratic rule, refused Bhutto the protection she needed and had requested. What security Musharaff did provide was a joke-- in one instance, a single man, armed with a rifle, in front of Bhutto''s platform.
