KARACHI, Pakistan — Bomb blasts near the U.S. consulate in Pakistan's largest city Thursday wounded five people, a police official said.

One bomb exploded outside the consulate setting 10 cars on fire, police official Javed Akbar said. He did not know whether the wounded were attached to the consulate, or whether they were injured by the blast or the fire.

Another bomb exploded about the same time in a parking lot of a hotel yards away, Akbar said.

The blasts occurred days before a visit by President Bush to Pakistan, a key U.S. ally in the war against terrorism.

1. This is terrible.
We have enemies in Pakistan, no doubt, bacause the Taliban had so many friends there. They're the Muslim equivalent of the KKK: regressive, evil, scary, and dependent upon the ignorance of their poverty striken supporters. Each day Mr Bush and his arrogance brings the war on terror closer to our shores.

As you know, The President got in via a military coup. He's not too much better than some of the other dictators the U.S. supports....he's just gotten good press and PR here in the U.S.!

3. Yes, and it's okay that Pakistan has nukes
...because BushCo are only opposed to nations who (allegedly) aren't up front about their weapons programs.
