Now Hillary is accusing Barack of accusing her of assassinating Bhutto?

[Bonobo]

That's rather low, isn't it? Not to mention wacky.

[jlake]

1. Ummm..... kinda wacky - but true.

[Colobo]

2. True what?

[jlake]

4. That Axelrod blamed Clinton's decisions for Bhutto's death.

[Bonobo]

5. Do you have a link to the statement? If too busy, its ok.

[Tellurian]

6. Start more threads Bonobo..If you can't baffle em with Bull Sh*t..drown them in innocuous threads..

[Bonobo]

16. That looks familiar. Didn't you post that somewhere else? Anyway, thanks for the kick!

11. Nonsense

The IWR resulted in US attention being diverted from Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan to Iraq. Democrats have said so for years now. It was a wrong turn. It's was disastrous policy. In the course of the occupation of Iraq, violence worsened and terrorists strengthened in Afghanistan and Iraq and Pakistan. In this context of a far less stable region since we invaded, Bhutto's was murdered. Congress granting that force authorization, whether individuals wanted an invasion or didn't, legitimized a foreign policy that has had horrendous results, only one of them Bhutto's death. Clinton takes responsibility for her IWR vote, but that has to include what's resulted.

12. You know that there was no reason to politicize Bhutto's death.

If you are going to make that stretch, you need to blame Obama for failing to stop the war.

[Adelante]

13. I don't blame Clinton for failing to stop the war

So why would I blame Obama? Getting out of a war is way harder than getting into one. That's why it should never be anything but the last resort in the first place.

[salin]

14. Ya, but didn't Obama quickly and firmly disavow that sentiment?

I think he did.

[jlake]

15. So sincere, not like part of a plan to put it out there and then claim plausible deniability....

[2rth2pwr]

21. Ya got one of those linky things? nt

22. going from memory of coverage on CNN

it was while I was at my mother's for the holidays. Was transfixed by the Bhutto coverage. If I recall the statement per Axelrod occured within one or two days after her assassination. I heard both the accusation and the distancing in the same news item on TV. It was one of those walking through the room - hear the charge - think wtf?! - walk back in to watch/hear and then get the Obama statement on it. I would venture to bet if you go back and search CNN about two days after the assassination, they would probably have the item online.

[Bonobo]

23. Did you SEE the Axelrod quote? It was NOTHING. Less than nothing.

And Hil is playing it to the hilt, distorting all she can.

[salin]

24. By the time I heard of it - it was already a nonissue

and I am not invested enough in any of the candidates to get as riled up on this from either direction. I'll let folks like yourself do all of the intraparty battling.

10. Damn! I was just about to commend you for a more civil tone until

I saw that you added "idiot" at the end. You know that that's against DU rules, don't you?

[fightindonkey]

17. That Is What They Said. Did You Miss This When It Was Brought Up Here A Million Times Bonobo?

They did blame her.

[Bonobo]

18. Indeed I did miss it, My Dear Donkey. Do you have the quote?

[goldcanyonaz]

19. Link to quote inside.

http://thepage.time.com/axelrod-on-bhutto-assassination/

Bhutto’s death will “call into issue the judgment: who’s made the right judgments,” Axelrod said. “Obviously, one of the reasons that Pakistan is in the distress that it’s in is because al-Qaeda is resurgent, has become more powerful within that country and that’s a consequence of us taking the eye off the ball and making the wrong judgment in going into Iraq. That’s a serious difference between these candidates and I’m sure that people will take that into consideration.”

[Bonobo]

20. Thank you, but how can anyone reading that quote claim it is blaming Clinton

for Bhutto's assasination.

Wasn't Clinton just sliming Obama with that one? Looks like it to me.

[Adelante]

26. Thank you

Undeniably true, though.

27. To politicize a tragedy for political gain was pathetic and totally classless by Obama
