Comments on: Bhutto Slaying Roils Pakistan

Pakistani Opposition Leader Shot By Suicide Bomber, Police Say

JetRanger,

It wasn''t the suicide bomber that killed her, it was a gunshot to the neck(if reports are correct). It appears the bomb was a diversion to create panic while someone close shot her. Sounds like an inside job to me.

"Hopefully, this country won''''t go there either."

Is that a threat?

Lollll...you know better, Nancy. That''s wet brain syndrome, is all.

Now Pakistani President have one less opponent. In spite of security threats both Nawaz sherif and Ms. Butto are not given enough security. So is it by pro Tali ban groups or some body else wants to consolidate the power.

Also remember when Ms. Butto was prime minister she kept quite when more 1200 people were dead (mostly from different sect than hers'') in sectarian violence erupted in Karachi in early 90s.

This just disproves Bush''s idea of "democracy being the answer" the only way this part of the world governs itself is through dictators. Pakistan experienced its most stable period under General Zia.
We need a president who will go back to the idea of containment for the Asia/Middle East.

But I agree, this is a shame she was an impressive person who came out of a comfortable exile/retirement with her family to get into this hell hole for the sake of her principles. A rare politician indeed - Bush can learn a thing of two - he can''t even make a speech unless the crowd is screen for dissent.

The problem is you can''t rule out interference on our part. Musharraf is Cheney''s man - and can you think of anything Cheney wouldn''t do to get his way?

In 1998 the CIA and the Sharif government set up a conter terror team to gather info on Bin Laden(who was based in Afghanistan at the time). The CIA felt that Pakastani intelligence was controlled by Al Quaeda and was sceptical but felt it was worth a try.

Musharif overthrew the Sharif government and immediately disbanded this team. Since then he''s made promise after promise to assist in the tracking of Al Quaeda but the Army has made only superficial and totally cosmetic efforts to follow through on those promises.

Al Quaeda & the Taliban has been operating freely in Wiziristan since they were allowed to freely enter Pakastan at Tora Bora.

It should be noted that the only Presidential candidate in either party to do what Bhutto has done and promise to go after them there is Obama.

Unfortunately, the time to do so is now.

What do you want to bet that Tatiana the tiger was a islamic jihadist too?

[cbs_oliver]

Very sad. She was an impressive person.

[jetranger7]

It was probably a CIA sanctioned Hit, non the less by you know who, sanctioned, assassination, coup, over throw, all planned out months ago non the less !

Walt1944,
Have you NO reasoning capability? Say anything! What a dope! Prove your points (not your pointy head, stupid)or be revealed for the fool that you are.

[radiob-2009]

How far back does the trail lead all the way to Musharraf? There will be no "real" investigation of this crime.

[walt1944-2009]

Its strange that immediately after Bhutto came back from exile, Musharref declared military law, shredded the constitution, suspended elections, and jailed anyone who didn''t think like him.

Now his main adversary is dead after 2 attempts on her life, and Musharref doesn''t have a thing to worry about (MAYBE!!!). This reminds me of all the coups and killings in South Vietnam between 1960-1965. And who, as it later turned out was behind all that? Why the good old USA, of course!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!

-Uuuumm Steve...islamic jihadists are responsible for this treachorous act, not America. Start recognizing evil when you see it instead of blaming your own country for wicked religious agendas that these jihadists follow as instructed by their Quran.

Your inflexible sermonizing reminds me of something...oh, yeah - the rabble-rousing rants of a Western-hating fundamentalist Imam.

This is the results when a country is so full of looney-bins.

[realpatriot1]

It''s just been confirmed that she was killed. This is what Al Quaeda does to Muslims who confront them and why Musharif never will. This is what they did to the Northern Alliance Commander in Afghanistan prior to September 11.

Iraq is a sideshow. They never try to bring down the Iraqi government because it''s no threat to them or their operations.

Pakastan is Al Quaeda''s last stand, they have nowhere else to go. They''re using it as a base to try to recapture Afghanistan where they had a state sponser; they currently have an effective state sponser in Musharif who hasn''t been willing to confront them in Wiziristan.

Let''s hope he and the Bush administration wake up before it''s too late and they gain control in Karachi.

Ummm...this part of our plan to "spread Democracy" and "bring stability" to the world?
