The Assasination of Benazir Bhutto

I don't want to put my tinfoil hat on. I won't do it. But I'm putting this in F&L because I'd like to keep it inside the board.

Normally, I post about "how should I store this" or "what caliber" or "Ron Paul, etc." This is different.

In this thread: let's throw some conjecture out there. What does this mean to us. The media are ramming Pakistan's nukes down the public's throats. The president and every other person along his line identically blame terrorists before the first piece of real data is examined. Sound familiar.

The punchline: I think this is the start of a horrible chain reaction that ends with a nuke set off on American soil. This will suspend the election and dramatically change the terms on which we identify ourselves as a free people.

There, I said it. I'm going to go eat some Mexican food now.

Yea, terrorist no doubt but they were blaming our particular favorite terrorists ...that is the difference that takes the leap.

 

Well according to an e-mail that was to be released in case her death she puts the blame squarely on musharraf administration specificly those around him. It has also been said that her spouse has called to make sure the email has been released.
I tend to put a lot of weight on the victim's opinion since she literaly is right in the thick of it.

Personally I think the terrorists have the most to gain from her death. They don't like musharraf to begin with and they hate her for not having a penis. Who knows maybe the terrorists have a secret gay fetish for male politicians. Anyways, by offing her they get pakistanis to hate musharraf even more. Kind of like getting two birds with one stone. But if Bhutto herself thinks it's the musharraf administration......

 

Everyone thinks this will turn into a civil war that waill spill out of the bottle and create a nuclear meltdown. We seem to forget Mushareff's penchant for clamping down on the enemy and his own people to get the desired response. He will do it again here, if this starts getting out of control, he will lock it down and kille everyone and anyone he thinks he needs to, to get this under control.

 

Both sides east/west, muslim/nonmuslim just slipped a little more as we have with the partriot act and them radicals getting stronger. Each side looses a bit more rights, a bit more freedom as we inch ever so closer to an us vs them confrontation.


Sad part is we as the western countries are just as guilty as they are in this march towards conflict.

 

Here's my not so humble take. They can't agree on what killed her, or even whether she was shot. They buried her in record time, so we'll likely never know. Someone with power is going to ludicrous lengths to cover something up. As only Bhutto's people or Musharraf's people would have the ability to cover up the cause of her death, I think Al Qaeda can be reasonably ruled out.

The fact that our government is pointing at Al Qaeda suggests, in my mind, that they're trying to protect Musharraf. They're probably right to do so, since he's still the closest thing we have to a friend in all this. But it certainly reeks of the possibility that our government was involved.

As I see it, if we or Musharraf were behind the assassination, that's the best possible case for near term stability. It would mean that Musharraf knew it was coming, and Al Qaeda didn't. That, in turn, would mean that Al Qaeda probably doesn't already have a plan in place to take advantage of it.

The bottom line is, while I was worried yesterday, today's cover ups have convinced me that not much is going to change because of this.


If I'm wrong, and this situation leads to bombs going off here, we'll deal with that when it comes.
And if the election is canceled...
When 8:00 pm on November 4th comes around, if I haven't voted, I'll already be dead. Take that as you will.

 

Breaking News!!

Local nuze just reported that she wasn't killed by bullets or shrapnel. Cause of death was the shockwave from the blast caused her to hit her head.

I figger that by Wed there will be a couple more reasons. Muddy up the water more.

She was a tool of the TOP (tribe), Oxford educated (think Clinton and big wigs here...) Was friendly with the trouble making small state to the west, and in the middle of all the crap over there.

As Sniper said, it was obvious she was toast.

 

I did not know that. Thanks. I still see an obvious coverup, though.

What we had to gain was Mushareff staying in power. Bhutto didn't have the support of the military. If she'd won the election, it's unlikely she could have kept the country together. Good or bad, Mushareff is about the only thing standing between muslim hard liners, and Pakistan's nuclear weapons.

 

I actually heard them say that it wasn't the bullets OR the shockwave, that she cracked her skull trying to duck inside the sunroof.

What a joke.
