The United States provided a steady stream of intelligence to Benazir Bhutto about threats against her before the former Pakistani prime minister was assassinated and advised her aides on how to boost security.

Which explains wht she was assassinated.

"Intelligence" and this administration go together as well as Vermin and critical thinking.

Bush to Bhutto: This is just ass covering stuff. You can ignore it. I know, I had 50 warnings pre- 9-11 and nothing bad happened. Well nothing the Fighty Rightys thought I had any responsibility for. If you die, just blame Clinton and his blowjob. If your followers are as stupid as mine, they'll buy it.

These would be the same intellegence idiots who protected us from 9/11?

"PSST Benazir, Osama's really dead, don't tell anyone."

Benazir: "Omar Sheikh murdered Osama bin Laden."

'bang, bang, bang, BOOM!'

Anglo-American ambitions behind the assassination of Benazir Bhutto and destabilization of Pakistan

It has been known for months that the Bush-Cheney administration and its allies have been manuevering to strengthen their political control of Pakistan, paving the way for the expansion and deepening of the "war on terrorism" across the region. The assassination of Benazir Bhutto does not change this agenda. In fact, it simplifies Bush-Cheney's options.

Seeding chaos with a pretext

"Delivering democracy to the Muslim world" has been the Orwellian rhetoric used to mask Bush-Cheney's application of pressure and force, its dramatic attempt at reshaping the Pakistani government (into a joint Bhutto/Sharif-Musharraf) coalition, and backdoor plans for a military intervention. Various American destabilization plans, known for months by officials and analysts, proposed the toppling of Pakistan's military.

Another BS story with no names

If you had read the article, you'd realize she didn't follow warnings. driving around with her head above the skylight was a huge mistake.

BTW The only reason she was back in Afghanhastan was because the US felt she was key to fighting AQ and the taliban, and we supported her. Leave it to the dr left to forget that.....

Leave it to the brainwashed warnuts to believe every corporate lie that is spoon fed to them.

Hey north guy, Troll much?

Why was she in afghanistan when she as running for office in Pakistan? Another Fighty Righty with geographobia.
And dave, Mushie is already a real big ally in the war on terror. Just ask Bush.

As Ghost Wars author Steve Coll so dryly put it: "Benazir Bhutto was suddenly the matron of a new Afghan faction."

The late twice but no longer future prime minister of Pakistan was far, far from a stupid woman. The Taliban was a gamble she took, cunningly if not without considerable trepidation and certainly at the behest of a powerful intelligence service, the ISI, she feared but had to accommodate, in the doomed hope of retaining office.

But make no mistake: The woman who is now being so widely mourned assassinated last week, perhaps by the very elements she empowered more than a decade ago was nurturing stepmother to terrorists incubated under her watch; the same Islamist fanatics she inveighed against during the election campaign that came to a screeching halt in the calamitous assault on her motorcade.

She was a brave woman, without question, but Bhutto was much to blame for the tinderbox that Pakistan became during her exile in Dubai and London the toxic military entanglement with the Taliban having helped to create a monster that not even the sponsoring ISI can control any longer.

For years, during her second tenure as PM, Bhutto lied brazenly to Washington about the extent to which Pakistan, with her approval, was covertly arming and funding the Taliban. As Bhutto admitted in a 2002 interview: "Once I gave the go-ahead that they should get the money, I don't know how much money they were ultimately given ... I know it was a lot. It was just carte blanche."

For Bhutto, the objective was to keep a new Afghanistan yoked to Pakistan and out of India's orbit. (Northern Alliance leader Ahmad Shah Massoud was considered far too Delhi-friendly.) Out of this relationship would flow the riches of a Pakistan-controlled trucking industry circumventing Kabul a modern Silk Road trade incorporating the markets of Central Asia the never realized gas pipeline from Turkmenistan, and training camps, off the Pakistan reservation, for fighters deployed to Kashmir.

These would be the same intellegence idiots who protected us from 9/11?

NO! BJ Willie is not in office anymore. Most of the 9/11/01 plot happened on his watch.

As you can see from the film. The lady did not stay in her car but had to pop her head out of the sun roof. I guess Bush told her to do that.

Sniper, maybe you should read the 9-11 Commission Report and get back to us and explain how, after 50 warnings, Bush still did nothing, except make sure Ashcroft didn't fly on airliners after July 2001.
Then you can explain why alqueda is reviving in afghanistan and when and where exactly Osama got smoked out, dead or alive, after 6 1/2 years of Bush huntin' him down.

For the previous 8 years all terrorist threats were handled as a local police problem. I guess you think that was going to change overnight.

Our government is taking the threats serious now and you libs are bitching about that. Everytime they arrest some guys with a plot, you all sweep it aside saying it is a bunch of dopes that couldn't pull it off. Which way do you want it? You can't have it both ways.

Everytime they arrest some guys with a plot, you all sweep it aside saying it is a bunch of dopes that couldn't pull it off.

Which is what the jury usually says too. No wonder Bush doesn't want trials for those remaining in Gitmo and has sent so many free already. Could be kind of embarrassing having to release them all. Shoots holes in that dead or alive tough guy crap.
btw, Until 9-11 Bush thought terrorism was a CYA problem, Sniper.
Now where the fuck is Osama?

I think he's dead.
