Edited on Fri Dec-28-07 12:17 AM by opihimoimoi
Whad about them NUKEs they got?

Whad about the BILLIONs we sending them for Improving conditions...its now looking like the monies are being diverted from its intended purps? Was up wid dat???

Bush is Flummoxed, Confused, and Inept....beyond him and his team capacity it surely seems...

His Statement re Bhuttos death was Lame....much about moot/minutiae....

Come, we go drink....I feel sick.....

We are so lacking of good leadership....

5. I'm guessing the Bushies are quite pleased with the destabilization efforts.
Busharraf becomes more dependent on the the Bushies for aid in holding on to power.

The Pakistani "JFK" got the same as the Bushies did to the American JFK, and so a Liberal Threat was removed.

Bhutto might have actually TRIED to catch Bin Laden, which would be a disater for the Bushies, like IngSoc catching Goldstein.

Bhutto might have tried to cut the power of thje Bushies' greatest allies in the murderous ISI, and the ISI Colonel who wired $100,000 to Mohammed Atta the wek before 9/11 might have also been tried...an even worse disaster for the Bushies.

Oh, and as with Pat Tillman, the Bushies get to wave the bloody corpse around to further their agenda, which was the opposite of Bhutto's.

Let us not forget, it was the Bushies who lured her back to Pakistan to be killed. Sounds like a typical Bushie betrayal op. I think they LOVE wasting what they see as Liberal Weaklings stupid enough to believe them. It's the sociopath in them.

6. Interesting question
An article posted here explores the same thing:

The Bush administration backed military dictator Musharraf to the hilt as a way of dealing with U.S. security and al-Qaida on the cheap while it poured hundreds of billions into Baghdad. George W. Bush was entirely willing to let the Pakistani judiciary, the rule of law, and any real democracy be gutted by an ambitious general. For Washington, allowing Bhutto to return to Pakistan was simply a way to shore up Musharraf's legitimacy. Now Pakistan faces new turmoil, and Bush appears to have no Plan B. Since Pakistan is a nuclear power and al-Qaida extremists still use it as a base to plot against the West, this failure is inexcusable and threatens U.S. security in a way Iraq never did.


But Junior does have a Plan B: Invade Iran.

15. No Bhutto, No Khan. No problemo for Bushco.
Benazir Bhutto indicated she would let the International Atomic Energy Agency to interview Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan. AQ Khan ties directly to Cheney and the BFEE. Now that she's gone, we likely won't hear what he has to say about how BCCI financed the Pakistan H-Bomb.

seemslikeadream, robertpaulsen and leveymg absolutely pegged the turds.

29. No Noriega...
...at least since his stroke in the pen. Now he can't remember what day it is, let alone how much coke he and Ollie sent north. The guy wasn't even supposed to make it out of Panama alive, but managed to hide in the Vatican embassy until the staff kicked him out because of all the Aerosmith music the psyops team pumped out. So, Poppy couldn't pull off a Jack Ruby and had to take him prisoner.

17. What he should do is take Kucinich's advice
and stop trying to interfere. This is a job for the international community, for the UN, for a regional coalition of governments to sit down and work out a diplomatic solution in the ME.

31. Isn't Pakistan already a dictatorship?
So...that's good.

This mess was caused by pushing democracy into a country where democracy would mean creating a new Iran, except now with nuclear weapons.

A stable military dictatorship in Pakistan would be a great outcome at this point.
