By cyrena, January 1: “Re: No bullet shot wounds on her body.... A. Kohar - “...this is a bit misleading, or actually…more than a bit. It would appear that the only way to know this..... would have been to perform an autopsy...”

Not at all, cyrena. It would have been obvious that there were wounds and bullet and shrapnel wounds are not necessarily indistinguishable.

Of course, “no bullet would have been found” until an autopsy had been performed, though.

The last thing the distraught family would have wanted was for the very people they hold responsible to then cart her body off to be hacked up in an autopsy, uhh!

But, transposing your words from another topic:-
Cyrena, haven’t you figured out yet, that AK has nothing better to do with his time than try to find tiny little things, with his petty little mind, that don’t matter a whit to anyone?
So cyrena, consider the source when you get this kind of petty bullshit....

Brian,

I have to sadly say that you’ve pretty much summed it up.

I don’t know what it means any longer, but I have a gut instinct that it’s like a really dirty word.

I consider escape, but where would I go, always worrying that they’d find out I was an American?

Sad times eh?

A. Kohar.

I think this is a bit misleading, or actually…more than a bit. It would appear that the only way to know this, (re bullet wounds) would have been to perform an autopsy, and that was not done. Also, the issuance of this medical report was initially accompanied by a detailed explanation by the medical examiner (physician/attorney) who DID have some ‘issues’ with it. And yes, he did say that no BULLET had been found, but he made it clear that without an autopsy, there was no way to be certain.

And no, I don’t think it’s going to distract attention to find out who killed her, just like we have to find out who REALLY perpetrated 9/11. Keeping these things under wraps to protect political operatives is exactly why we have this trouble to begin with.

The TRUTH settles many things, even when it’s ugly. It might finally be time to get to it, and apparently, that’s what’s been decided. It would appear they’ve now accepted help with the investigation from the international community.

Time to stop sweeping stuff under the rug. After a while, it all blows up, and we see it in motion.

A Tragedy Born of Military Despotism and Anarchy
By Tariq Ali
The Guardian UK

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/122907D.shtml

While Bhutto was leaving the compound in a slow moving jeep and the crowed was allowed to be drawn in too close; (a worst scenario for a PPP security men that it went out of their hands). It is seen that apparently a young man, wearing a dark glasses with a pistol, who is seen just next to tail end of jeep; fired number of shots aiming at Bhutto. The sun roof hatch was also having a set of armour plates raised around it. The killer although is seen too close to the tail end of jeep but with the armour plates around the sunroof hatch that he had to aim at an high angle i.e. firing above the shoulder and head level, that killer fired; it can’t be said that it was a sure kill scenario.

It is quite possible that the killer even at this point blank gun shot range plus his state of mind that he could have been; must have missed her altogether. Medical report also reveals that there were no bullet shot wounds on her body.
(Ref: liveleak.com)

Bhutto- Medical Report:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/world/articles/bh utto_medicalreport_010108.html?sid=ST2007123102506

In the light of Medical Report issued by Rawalpindi General Hospital, signed by seven Surgeons who treated her is very clear and beyond any ambiguity that she died of her skull injury which is apparently not a bullet wound.

Discussion on the cause of her death and other mechanic involved in her death with in her vehicle or for that matter whether bullets fired at her hit her or not; are use less exercise and waste of time and energy. It only distracts our attention to chase the actual culprits; the gangues who killed her.

Bhutto’s assassination is now being compared - in the mainstream press, no less - to that of JFK, a comparison one doesn’t hear that often.  Consider: open car, apparently three shots, person next to her injured, initial “lone” assassin theory, mishandling of body and autopsy, cleaning up of evidence before a proper investigation...the list goes on.

1963 redux?

Peace. (or some facsimile thereof...)

So yes, it DOES sound like she’s not mistaken

By cyrena, December 31: “So yes, it DOES sound like she’s not mistaken in what she’s saying. Great minds think alike, eh? (don’t tell CY I said that, he already thinks I’m a wanna-be know-it-all-twit)...”

Can you imagine the young BB? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-o7ZR0DwS0

• But, what is more, cyrena, at the beginning at 42sec, BB says that she “could be attacked by.... Hamsa Bin Laden, the son of Osama Bin Laden”. That is possibly to say that OBL has been replaced by his son.

THANKS Douglas!!! I was really hoping somebody could answer this very quickly. You really delivered. And yes…I noted the same thing in my post, (you’re right I did it on two threads, just because I found it so…well, what ca I say?

I noticed the same thing, about the mention of Hasma bin Laden, and I even got his name right. (but that’s only because I already knew that was one of his son’s names). Even managed to get the Omar part of it right. I guess I must be moving up in the world.

So yes, it DOES sound like she’s not mistaken in what she’s saying. Great minds think alike, eh? (don’t tell CY I said that, he already thinks I’m a wanna-be know-it-all-twit).

OK, thanks for the link. I’m gonna check it out now.

Can an Arabic speaker make out the name she is providing here?

Well, I’m not an Arabic speaker but she clearly said “Omar Sheikh” who you can find out about easily on the net.

Check it at about 2min 20sec on this more specific clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1uLdmct8_E&feature =related

But, what is more, cyrena, at the beginning at 42sec, BB says that she “could be attacked by.... Hamsa Bin Laden, the son of Osama Bin Laden”. That is possibly to say that OBL has been replaced by his son.

It certainly indicates that she wasn’t in the least mistaken in what she was saying.

Paolo,

You’re right…it’s either gone beyond weird, or I’m just really getting to be a hardened conspiracy theorist.

David Frost Interview with Benazir Bhutto
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLItJMVNleY

Can an Arabic speaker make out the name she is providing here? I can’t, at least not enough to spell it correctly. Sounds like maybe Omar as a first name, but I could be wrong, and I definitely can’t come close on the last name. Who can help us out on this one?

Meantime, did you notice how she named one of UBL’s son’s as a possible suspect earlier on, before she got to the part about him being murdered? Nope, she didn’t seem confused or mistaken.

Here’s what seems even stranger to me –now- after viewing the video that you posted on the interview with David Frost and Benazir Bhutto.

Mike Malloy made a real point of saying how and when his producer had come by this tape, and how not ONE SINGLE US media outlet had said a single peep about it. And how, they couldn’t possibly have MISSED it, if HIS producer had found it.

Well, right about that SAME TIME, (because I was up when it came across the feed) up pops the piece on bin Laden’s alleged new audio tape. Well, that just sort of knocked me right off my chair. I was like, where did THIS come from?

Then it goes on to say that it’s the 5th time this year, after a long silence, beginning back in September. Well, I remember the VIDEO, (with the fake Osama) but I don’t remember hearing or reading about any more since then. I don’t get it.

Anyway, if you haven’t seen this one yet, (though now, it’s on Time Mag’s site as well as a couple of others) here’s the link from when it popped up nearly 24 hours ago… (and it’s got that same old photo that we’ve seen of him for the past decade. (not the fake guy) The photo wasn’t in the story yesterday morning.

You’re right. It’s just way beyond weird now.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2 007/12/30/AR2007123000183.html

And then there’s this too. But, I think I read a similar piece on the NYT yesterday morning. The story keeps changing. I’m confused.

Pakistan Government Skips Autopsy, Shifts Story on How Bhutto Died
By Saeed Shah and Warren P. Strobel
McClatchy Newspapers

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/122907Z.shtml

Paolo,

In all sincerity, I’ve been thinking that OBL has been dead for at least 4 years, if not longer.

One of the ‘kinda sorta’ things that strenghtened my ‘instinct’, (since I certainly had nothing to prove it) was from one of Dahr Jamail’s MidEast Dispatches, (which I still subscribe to via email by the way, and they’re free if you want to check them out).

Anyway, he was one of the few I guess we could call ‘independant journalists’ over there kind of early on, and it was the ONLY place, at least for a long time, where I could find any REAL news. (I don’t think I could hook-up to the English Al-Jezzera at the time).

Anyway, in one of his many reports, and though various local sources, he had said that a young kid, who had apparently been to the ‘area’ (wherever it was) was reporting that the “Sheik” was ‘gravely ill’.

So, I just assumed that he may have died from his already well documented kidney problems. Based on several well resourced books, he’s always been either sickly, or at least a hypochondriac. And of course the ‘rumor’ has been for years, that he had checked into an American hospital (I think the UAE, but I could be wrong) on 9/10/2001.

Well, I don’t know how verifiable that is, since it’s part of the 9/11 story. Still, we didn’t hear from him for all of that time, and then they came up with that video a few months back, that we KNOW was NOT him.

So now they’ve got a new ‘audio’ and for some reason, I guess I just don’t believe that either. It’s too hard to believe any of it, now that I’m 99.9% convinced that he didn’t do 9/11. Or, he sure didn’t do it the way the liars are telling us it happened.

Anyway, I’ll check out the video. It’ll be the first time I’ve heard that he was murdered. But, I’ll believe just about anything now, as long as it doesn’t come from ANY government source, or US media.

Yep. It’s BEEN weird.

The Sad Thing about our current state of affairs is that I wouldn’t be surprised to find out there was US involvement in Bhutto’s assassination. After all, the administration had no qualms about lying us into the war in Iraq, no qualms about lying about Pat Tillman, no qualms about lying about Jessica Lynch. Why should they not also lie about Bhutto’s assassination?

The US government has zero credibility at this point.

You’re too kind.......

By Blackspeare, December 30: “You are a f#@$ing idiot, uhh!”

Up the volume! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVsCe5-i7KA&feature =related

Don’t forget to check the “Black Magic Cure” and the “Maula Jaat” series....

“You are a f#@$ing idiot, uhh!”

You’re too kind, but I was happy to see I got a rise out of you!  And by the way, I still agree with you.

An interesting sidelight on the Benazir Bhutto assassination is her interview with David Frost on Al-Jazeera (English Version) in November, in which she casually mentions that Osama Bin Laden had been murdered. Check it out.

http://www.afterdowningstreet.org/?q=videos

Oddly, David Frost didn’t follow up on this rather stunning comment. I’m not aware of any follow up or retraction from Bhutto between the time of the interview and her assassination. I can’t draw any conclusion from this comment other than to say she was either confused (doesn’t seem like it), or she knew a lot of stuff we aren’t supposed to know. Could this lead to the real reason she was offed?

If Bin Laden has been killed, wouldn’t that be celebrated on Fox News as a great victory for the heroic Republican Neoconservative leadership? Or, is it better for those heroes to keep the Bin Laden myth alive as a convenient Bete Noir?

It gets weird, folks.

Transposing your garbage from the “US Candidates React to Bhutto Assasination” topic.....

By Blackspeare, December 29: “In the Byzantine world that Pakistan is, assassination is an age old political expediency.  Once the dust settles things will get back to “normal” and Musharaff and his minions will secure their rule and there is no need to worry about the “bomb.” A strongman rule is needed in Pakistan at the present time and Musharaff is it with charisma, stature, and a great haircut...”

Frankly, I don’t give a damn if you agree with me or not, Blackspeare. You are just as happy to start an unwinnable nuclear war as GWB. This is not the 18th or 19th century colonial British empire and Pakistan is a nuclear power, not a Byzantine state. You are a f#@$ing idiot, uhh!

Douglas Chalmers…

You are absolutely correct----the US loves to deal with military dictatorships.  From South and Central America to the Middle East to the Far East.  Military regimes tend to be stable and consistent, don’t change regimes very often, and make good trading partners.  It efficient economic capitalism at work.  The US government gives taxes in the form financial aid to these regimes and they in turn use that money to buy more arms and some goods from the US.  In a sense its redistribution of wealth from workers to industry!

It has been reported that Ms. Butto has anointed a family member as the next leader of the PPP. Is than not the same as what the Roman Emperors did?

Syed Saleem Shahzad, the Asia Times Pakistan bureau chief says:

KARACHI - ”We terminated the most precious American asset which vowed to defeat mujahideen.” These were the words of al-Qaeda’s top commander for Afghanistan operations and spokesperson Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, immediately after the attack that claimed the life of Pakistani politician Benazir Bhutto on Thursday (December 27).

This would make sense since Mushareff tends to lose from her assassination.

We should beware of Al Qaeda’s feeling of entitlement for Islamic nuclear weapons, namely Pakistan’s. A lot of Pakistani people are friendly to Osama bin Laden’s goals and philosophy: in Mushareff’s army, scientists working nuclear facilities, etc.

History is the Process by Which the Dead Bury the Living

By G.Anderson, December 29: “Like many American’s I have been confused about what is happening in Pakistan.  I did not know what Benazir Bhutto’s Pakistan Peoples Party stood for, and I so I went to it’s web site and read a few of Ms. Bhutto’s speaches....” http://www.ppp.org.pk/mbb/speeches/speeche85.html

Quote Benazir Bhutto: “Under General Musharraf, the military intelligence agencies have received over ten billion dollars in unaccountable assistance from the U.S. government....  Four times in history, Washington has supported military dictatorship in Pakistan...”

The main point is not that Ms. Bhutto “represented a very real threat to the military Dictatorship” but that she was NOT a US puppet and so NOT an issue for the Islamic fundamentalists for that reason despite it being commonly touted as the main cause of their supposed reactionary behaviour.

In other words, Musharraf’s military regime was behind most if not all of the riots and bombings. It was in their interest to foment turmoil as a reason to maintain their effective rule if not perpetual actual martial law. And the courts were basically on their side although appearing to act independently.

Thus a “military backed regime” creates the very extremism the USA supposedly wishes to avoid. In the end, a “controlled dictatorship” ends in failure as it is either overthrown by the people (as in Iran) or it becomes intolerable to its foreign masters and is invaded (as with Iraq).

Sadly, obviously this is a preferred course of foreign policy for the USA. Outright invasion (Korea, 1950) gave way to managed diplomacy through the installation and/or support of puppet regimes (Vietnam, Philippines, etc) despite their bloody repressions and undemocratic track records. Inevitably, the same thinking is now applied back home in what is now the travesty of a democracy in the USA itself, uhh!

By jatihoon, December 29 - “Moral of the story, you cannot befriend Cobras as per there development, they must be destroyed.....”

Oh, I’m sure that BB’s vision was right, jatihoon. After all, she was Pakistani too - and steeped in politics, even if she did spend much time in the West (and so have many others). It is a very young country (1940’s+) but the feuds are ancient.

Essentially, her approach was that she was a woman trying to forge unity in a country wrecked by the misguided boys’ club in the military and the judiciary. They still want to play with their toys and strut their aggrandized authority, uhh.

The fact that the former general Zia ul Haq and his gang muredered her father and then she lost her brothers as well - and Sharif was toppled as well- proves that it is a hard country to govern. That is not to say that they don’t want democracy, though.

It is the generals who don’t want a genuine democracy and the fundamentalists don’t want to be US puppets. Leave them alone and they will all revert to being decent humans. The real reptile in the game is the American rattlesnake, uhh!

This was Bhutto’s inner scheme ! Nobody could come close to her auto except for the so-called “body guards”.

TRUTH KILLED BUTTO.

1. What is the Truth. Truth is she was killed because, she had finally realized that only way she could save Pakistan disintegration was to change its Jihad policies, which one time she was part of it.

2. This realization came to her in the corridors of real democracies, “America, U.K ,"ofcourse not India”, because here her monies and freedom was safe.

3. She failed to realize that very Jihady Cobra which she once nurtured, is still very much alive and being fed by new Jihady Rats.Thinking America big stick will keep those rats in check and they will not dare harm her, little did she realise that America is not a mongoose but a Tiger or lion, raised to destroy big games, such as big building or bridges etc.

4. The sunshine which she try to bring to Pakistan,completely blindly the cobra snakes and as snake habbit is, to protect its own life and interest it hit or bite back.

Moral of the story, you cannot befriend Cobras as per there development, they must be destroyed.Her vision was right but her approach was wrong or misguided.

There is no question there was a visible gun and three gunshots in the video, as well as a bomb blast, and aftermath photos show a bloody sunroof visor, so it could have been any one thing or combination of things. The gunshots in the video looked pretty haphazard and could have missed her, but so what if they didn’t?  What difference does it really make which killed her? It’s pretty unlikely a traceable gun will ever be recovered that can be ballistically tied to recovered bullets. It’s Pakistan after all, and CSI Miami is not on the job. Neither the bomb nor the gun as a weapon of choice would be a distinguishing M.O. for the perpetrator.

Some local quoted in the media alleged that the Paki government’s claim that Bhutto died from hitting her head during the attack was an attempt to deny her martyrdom. Maybe that’s a real motive to change the official story, I don’t know. Perhaps somebody better versed in Islamic nuttery can explain the significance to me.

Like many American’s I have been confused about what is happening in Pakistan.  I did not know what Benazir Bhutto’s Pakistan Peoples Party stood for, and I so I went to it’s web site and read a few of Ms. Bhutto’s speaches.

http://www.ppp.org.pk/mbb/speeches/speeche85.html

Soon it became clear to me why she was killed and why the government continues to play games with the truth.

What follows are some of her statements from a speech she gave September 25th of this year:

“Under General Musharraf, the military intelligence agencies have received over ten billion dollars in unaccountable assistance from the U.S. government. Retired military officers from the security forces who fought the Afghan Jihad of the eighties are running our intelligence and administration.”

“ The ones who recruited the Mujahideen who morphed into Taliban and Al-Qaeda are in charge of our homeland security.  Under their watch religious extremists have expanded in Pakistan. Radical mosques and madrassas have been encouraged as an alternative to recognized political institutions.  They are awash in money and weapons while the people of Pakistan bear the burden of unemployment, inflation, poverty and hunger.”

“Since 9/11 the Musharraf regime has professed support for confronting militancy.  But actions on the ground have not matched the rhetoric.  Indeed, the only nation on this planet that has ever signed an actual peace treaty with the Taliban and al Qaeda militants is the current regime in Islamabad.”

“Large sections of Pakistan’s tribal areas have been ceded to non Pakistanis in the Taliban and Al-Qaeda militias. In fact, after defeat and demoralization following the fall of the Kabul, these violent elements have re-organized themselves under the shadow of the military regime. They attack NATO forces across the border in Afghanistan every day.  They conduct suicide attacks within Pakistan killing innocent people. On September 20, 2007, Al – Qaeda declared war on the Pakistan army.”

“Military dictatorship has fueled extremism. A democratically elected government enjoying the support of the people can bring peace to the people of Pakistan and eliminate extremism. Eliminate terrorism by taking extremism off the radar screen of the region.”

Obviously Ms. Bhutto represented a very real threat to the military Dictatorship. Quite simply they wanted her dead.

But if what she is said is true, and I think it just might be, then America’s support for Musharraf is understandable, based on our long history of support for military dictatorships from Iraq to Iran.

In the past we have propped up many miltary dictatorships, it’s our style, we like them. Because as Ms. Bhutto points out.. “Some argue that extremism can better be confronted by a military backed regime.  As such, a controlled dictatorship is seen as a stable and reliable ally, as opposed to a truly elected government that has the support of the people.”

We’ve made this mistake so many times in the past, you would think we would have learned by now how foolish it is. Our support for the Shah of Iran, and for Saddam Hussein are good examples of how this policy backfires.

It appears that the Fundamentalists are already in charge in Pakistan.

Do we really believe in Democracy in this country? Or do we prefer Democracy in name only?

Thomas Billis,

You really had me going there for a second. At least until I got to the part about Gregos. You could give Andy Borowitz a run for his money/satire.

By Thomas Billis, December 28: “Bhutto sun roofed - Pres Musharef today banned the sale of sun roofs in Pakistan....”

Yeah, right. She “bumped her head”, uhh. That’s kind of fatal in Pakistan. Try this instead from another of Murdoch’s papers which is reporting a different view whilst the media in the USA is pandering to the official version of events:-

Fateful decision to stand and wave - Jeremy Page ...Rawalpindi: BENAZIR Bhutto was waving from the sunroof of her bullet-proof LandCruiser, with characteristic disregard for her safety, when the assassin struck. The election rally had been long and lacklustre, but surveying the crowd gathered at the gates of Liaquat Bagh park, Ms Bhutto turned to her deputy, Amin Fahim, and said she wanted to wave, Fahim recounted. The sunroof was opened and she stood up.

At least 20 people were killed in the blast and dozens injured. Ambulance crews collected pieces of flesh from the street as bombing victims lay on the road, their clothes blown off and their bodies mutilated. http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,229 82418-2703,00.html

##Quote Truthdig: According to this Jerusalem Post article, al-Qaida has taken responsibility for Bhutto’s death in an as-yet-unverified report.

More garbage in question as the media in the USA are screaming about AlQaeada and the Taliban but the story is quite different elsewhere:-

Mr Khan blamed the US for killing Bhutto and said “US President George W. Bush and Condeleeza Rice had backed Benazir as their horse and they should be condemned as they put her life in jeopardy. All those who feel that the US is targeting Islam targeted Bhutto as No. 1 suspect.”

“Bhutto was a threat to the people who have been in power for five years and instead of protecting her, they allowed her to be killed. How else could people get so close to her vehicle?” http://www.asianage.com/presentation/leftnavigation/ne ws/international/imran-seeks-pervez-resignation.aspx and Khan’s party, Tehreek-e-Insaf http://www.moveforjustice.org/

Police abandoned security posts before Bhutto assassination - No autopsy performed on body; docs say bullet wounds not found: Police abandoned their security posts shortly before Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto’s assassination Thursday, according to a journalist present at the time, and unanswerable questions remain about the cause of her death, because an autopsy was never performed. http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Police_abandoned_securit y_posts_before_Bhutto_1228.html

As mack states, the exact cause of death is of no great importance, whether bullet, bomb, or impact from being shot, the result -and intent was the same.

A Khokar: immediately after 9-11 US administration was under huge pressure to attack Pakistan if Musharraf didn’t join in the GWOT. The general responding to avoid a serious situation w.r.t the US. As at least a good part of Pakistani military and secret service were Taliban supporters, his allegiances on the misnamed US war of terror are mixed. I think US government change on Musharaf are a response to international and domestic (US public opinion), which has been turning against the general. This is because we perceive
that the Pakistani people have lost patience with his rule. Of course Bush is also upset about the lukewarm support in wis war, and that made it rather easy to seek to replace the general -or at least appear to support the peoples desire for change.
I doubt Musharrafs gov is directly responsible for this outrage (and really really doubt the US was either). I would call this a sin of ommission not commission. By this I mean the government failed to provide decent protection to Benazir, but didn’t itself pull the trigger. In any case it looks like the only winners are chaos, which is probably desired by AlQaeda. Musharraf’s option to step down or share power has been ruined by this state of events. The US strategy is also in complete tatters. There may not be much the world can do at this point other than to hope it comes out for the best, especially for the long suffering people of Pakistan.

I’m rather stunned to hear people debating the cause of Bhutto’s death.  She was assasinated, and it wouldn’t make any difference whether her attacker missed but caused her death anyway by an injury trying to protect herself.  No one’s buying that she slipped and hit her head, thereby actually killing herself. 

In any case, not only do her doctors know if she was shot--surgery was performed, after all--but her husband would know as well.  Any loving spouse would inspect the body of the deceased mate.  Particularly in a case like this. 

There’s been a rush to find a terrorist and deflect criticism from both Musharaff and the U.S. and discussion of their culpability in this matter.  Corporate media--CNN, in particular--has even rushed golden boy 360 over there to find authorities who would finger the terrorists and construct the official story. 

But post-Iraq, nobody believes it.

A tragic end of an able but misguided daughter of Pakistan
Where as Musharraf was living by his initial undertaking with US to function as front state in US plans of War against Terrorism; only Musharraf well knows best that how many Pakistani military persons and civilian have so for been killed in the name of this phoney war to help US to bring about US global hegemonic greed to grow full.

Musharraf had no personal interests; he is out there doing best under the circumstances to wade through some ways which only fall good in the interests of Pakistan. In case of Benazir Bhutto (on the dictations of US) to instate her back in power in Pakistan; he even agreed to lift the corruption charges against her and made all the arrangements for her smooth re-entry in Pakistan. And she did arrive back home.

But funny things started happening soon after her arrival. Washington rather than adopting the policy of ‘Run deep-Run silent’ and stay there calm in support of the issued scheme; stepped up an adverse and negative campaign against Musharraf. US started declaring him a spent cartridge and projected him a discredited President. US were doing every thing to depict him discredited, dysfunctional and to throw him; ousted as disgraced and humiliated. It is old bad habit of America to use his proxies as ‘tissue papers’ and ditches them by extermination; in a way that they are silenced for good.

Not only this; US also started boasting about Benazir Bhutto also; as a staunch US ally in a country where 70% people are against US in the global war on terror. Bhutto also bowed to the US rhetoric as a gesture to say a big thank you. This was a drastic miscalculation at her part to come back into power from back doors. After arrival she soon realised her folly and in order to back-pedal it and bring the masses in her favour, she heated up the political theatre by issuing fiery statement against Musharraf’s regime; who was by all means ready to step aside.

Where as Musharraf is not found dithering an inch in his resolve in the face of this campaign of malignity against him (except that he seems bit perplexed) but it all this short sighted scheme of United State cost Miss Benazir… her life.

It is a tragic end of an able but misguided daughter of Pakistan while playing in the hand of US. 
---------------------------------
Love for all, Hatred for none

That is how officials explain her death.  She, herself, did not slam her own head against the lever.  Even if was by accident, the speed necessary to cause such a fatal injury would be excessive.

When all is said and done I would say “we” are the ones who killed Bhutto.

Pres Musharef today banned the sale of sun roofs in Pakistan.Long known as a silent killer in western cities and until now ignored in Asia.The Bhutto family has retained Mark Geragos to go after the sun roof manufacturers and make them pay for the damage they have done to Pakistan.Asked about the bullet wounds to her head and abdomen Mushareff answered “flesh wounds”.The sun roof manufacturer in a prepared statement said that in their tests most people who get shot in the head and abdomen at close range and hit their heads on the sun roof do die.100&#xof; people who only hit their heads on the sun roof take an advil and continue on to work.More as developments indicate.
