Comments on: Bhutto Leaves Villa As House Arrest Ends

Officials Say State Of Emergency To End In A Month; U.S. Keeps Aid Flowing To Musharraf

The Deal

The Musharraf-Bhutto tryst is based on a simple premise: Bhutto and her party are to give a veneer of civilian legitimacy to a ruler and a regime that is loathed by wide swathes of Pakistanis. "The West is desperate to bring Benazir Bhutto and Pervez Musharraf into a loveless marriage so the general can combat terrorists and the lady can play democracy," says journalist and historian Ahmed Rashid.

Despite the PPP''''''''s long history of anti-military and anti-US agitation, Bhutto was willing to be the bride. She insisted only on two things--that the corruption cases against her be withdrawn and that Musharraf step down as army chief. Both have been granted, pending Supreme Court clearances.

In return the PPP has abandoned an alliance of parties opposed to the army''''''''s involvement in politics and will back Musharraf as civilian president. Bhutto has also quietly accepted a future dispensation in which he and the army will retain control over national security, foreign relations and the US war in Afghanistan. Depending on how well the PPP performs in elections, Bhutto will make domestic policy.

Maybe the two of them "can" pull this off.

With only western puppets to choose from, not much place left to be free to raise goats and arrange weddings. Just stuck doing the work of lazy rich people who arrange everything.

Its probably a good thing she is there, you ever think musaref is actually protecting her for her own good. She is a loud mouth that will put her in her tomb.

I think shortly that Bhutto is going to have an unfortunate accident. I don''t believe she is long for this world. I think our Castro wannabe is going to eliminate her. Which in my opinion, will only contribute to Pakistan''s downhill slide.

Hillary Bhutto...lol.

Ron Paul would be just as bad for America as Bush, and he doesn''''''''t even pretend to believe in human rights and freedom.

Unless, of course, you''re talking about the freedom of the rich and powerful to subjugate the poor and weak.ST

Oh no, Ron Paul is Gawd! He is going to save us and take us to heaven. He is the way. His TrueProphet is letting us know all about it.

j-whitman,

I usualy respect your decisions and I share your concerns about American support for groups seeking to undermine governments.

I think you''re on the wrong track on this one. Regarding your contention that neocns are supporting Bhutto, check out the article on this site where the King of the neocons, former UN Sec. Bolton calls for us to support Musharif.

Ron Paul is a heartless individual who would do away with all protections for the middle class and poor, and leave even the rich at the mercy of the mega rich.

No more public education, or even roads. Not even assurance that food or medicine is safe, just a good old fashioned return to the days of medicine men and territorial despots running company towns.

Actually in Ron Paul''s case, they would be company states.

Ron Paul would be just as bad for America as Bush, and he doesn''''t even pretend to believe in human rights and freedom.

Unless, of course, you''''re talking about the freedom of the rich and powerful to subjugate the poor and weak.

YOU''RE A FROG IN A POT
My fellow Americans need to open their eyes to the fact that our republic, along with The Constitution upon which it was founded, is being flushed-down the toilet by our nations'' bought and paid for politicians and media. While the Oligarchs warn and incite fear in the sheeple about the prospect of terrorism, they at the same time leave our borders wide open, and then conduct illegal wars overseas that do nothing but incite the terrorism which their Orwellian Laws like the Patriot Act and the John Warner Defense Authorization Act pretend to protect us from. Wake up America! It''s not about protecting you from terrorism, or Global Warming, or any of that other fear-mongering garbage the sold-out, mainstream media feeds you 24/7. It''s about feeding the bankers and the military industrial complex, and facilitating the global elite''s ability to ratchet-down control over the American people, placing us into a total control grid where they can surveille, track and control everywhere we go and everything we do. It''s the groundwork for tyranny. It''s the New World Order plan of Bush, Clinton, Edwards, McCain, Giuliani, et.al., being executed quite beautifully. You''re a frog in a pot. In order to cook a frog, you don''t throw him into a pot of boiling water. If you do, he''ll resist and jump-out. What you do instead is, you turn the heat-up REAL SLOW, and by the time the water is boiling he won''t be able to jump out anymore, because it''s too late--he''s already doomed.

j-whitman,

Do you really think she''s inciting civil disorder by calling upon citizens to assert their rights to demonstrate for democracy? What do you think Musharif is doing by imposing martial law and postponing elections, inciting peace and order?

I can''t guarantee that Bhutto will prove to be a moderate but what I can ascertain for certain is that Musharif is not.

terrorislam,

Mr. Bhutto didn;t institute a nuclear program for Pakastan to share with terrorists, he did so to maintain the balance of power and peace on the Indian subcontinent.

It was Professor Khan who shared that technology with North Korea and Iran and who knows who else during the Musharif regime. Thanks to our "chief ally in the war on terror" he still walks the streets of Pakastan a free man.

Duhh!
