    Is n't funny that pakistan can put million men in kashmir and can't clean up their own terrorist swamp with 25000 army ? It is simple logic. It almost seems like BUSh and musharraf wants to keep the tribal alqaeda terrorist alive. For what? Killing bhutto...BUSH is an idiot!. He is indierctly responsible for 1 million iraqi death and 1000s of us soldiers. And many many innocent afghans. Who will punish bush?. No one.

    Stupid humanitY!.

    You are fking stupid!. Alqaeda's shadow THINK tank is pak isi. And mushrraf is its chief. How come you call yourself pak analyst?. It was not alqaeda killed Bhutto. It was zia loyalist in PAK ISI. It is always about who gets the govt money ? Army or its people. Army is strong because of wars and proxy war with india and getting all the investment. Once the war with india stopped , then there is no use of army , so army is fighting to wipe out any one who oppose. Also islam humiliate woman victim. It was nauseating say that Bhutto got killed hitting sunroof. These pak isi is ruthless and muslims are shameless in humiliating woman.

    The finger points mushrraf. he is playing with idiot bush and safeguarding alqaeda. I have no idea why in the world america is not invading pakistan. It almost seems like pak nukes explode in one of the country and World wake up and see they never heard of this before. Either humanity is stupid or something wrong with people. Wake up!.

    I agree with cpatwork@hotmail.com. This was Clearly the work of Musharraf. Al Queda is such an easy scapegoat these days. I think it is a streatch to say Bush knew of the plot, although that is something we will never know. If you want proof of Musharraf involvement just look at the botched cover up and mis information put out concerning the cause of Bhutto's death! What an insane flip flop! And by now we have all seen the grainy video of the three shots fired. That could (and smells like to me) be a fake video. To what end i don't know. It is very interesting how the person with the big sign covers her face and the camera just happened to center in on the hand with the gun. One of her aids said it was a sniper. A sniper shot is very different sounding than three shots from a pistol no matter how loud it is in a crown of people. But least we no forget, Ms. Bhutto was well aware of the dangers she was in and chose to continue her work. She was brave. you can say that for her! And she was a danger to Musharraf.

    As easy as it is to just cast blame on Al queda, I don't believe Al Queda was responsible for Bhutto's death. Since we don't know the real culprit, we assume it was Al queda. Search deeper!

    Bruce, how much did the Bush Administration pay you to write this analysis? C'mon! Who are you kidding? This is clearly the work of Musharraf. Bhutto was set to sweep the elections that were to be held in January. Musharraf would have lost his power and his importance in the grand scheme of things and he did the most logical thing: Get rid of Bhutto. Al Qaeda is an easy scapegoat to place the blame on. Now he can reimpose Emergency Rule blaming it all on the violence and unrest and postpone elections indefinitely. Nicely done! Bush probably knew of this plot beforehand and chose to turn a blind eye towards it.

    Does anybody really wonder where Osama Bin Laden lives, or do we all know he has been in Pakistan all along? Al Qaeda and Musharraf in bed together?.....would that really surprize anybody?

    To those who think the US is involved here, please get your head examined. It was the United States that brokered the deal allowing Bhutto's return so she could challenge Musharraf.

    I know there are many Americans that believe we should just withdraw from this whole mess, but it's time we as Americans start to face the facts. This is WW III and if we don't start fighting this like it's WW III, we are going to wake up one day buying a prayer rug and worshipping Islam. Perhaps after Bush is gone, all of the people that believe Bush is more evil than Al Qaeda will join the fight and stop subverting the mission....maybe?

    It's time to pull your heads out of the donkey and elephant butts and take a look around. Stop the infighting and start presenting a united front determined to defeat these radical islamic terrorist that have openly declared their goal of world domination. It's time to start calling these evil murderers what they are. It's time for Americans to hear the truth! Al Qaeda's purpose, their entire exsistence, rests on the mission of killing everybody that doesn't bow down to Islam. They behead those who don't agree. They blow up and kill innocence, teach children to hate. These are sub humans, and all they have to do to claim victory is survive.

    We are in big trouble extremist and children of moderates all around the world are being seduced by the chapter of JIHAD. If you look at the Madrassa's they are brainwashing futre genereations in that region with the chapter of JIHAD. IT is like subliminal indoctrination. This is very dangerous. THEY ARE TEACHING THE CHILDREN TO FIGHT JIHAD FOR one hundred years. Obama is the only candidate that can change antiamericanism in that region. It just feels right voting for OBAMA

    : Somilia, USS COLE, First trade center bombing, embassy in Tanzania ect... duffle. The extremist movement against America begam after the first invasion of Iraq. American troop presence the root cause. I am not saying Hillary is not capable, I just think that Barak Obama has the right instincts and skills to tame that region. He is part of a movement that is very determined to succeed. Hillary Clinton will be an asset to the OBAMA presidency. Hillary Clinton is not a figure that will be welcomed in the traditional Muslim world as president, as a member of OBAMA's presidency YES. WHY?because it is a different culture. This is the first time a woman actually has a chance to become president. That is cutting edge even for our culture, imagine how it is perceived in the Muslim world, they are not ready yet. OBAMA just represents unity, it is what this country needs now.

    As long as Pakistan has thousands of madrassas to teach young men that they will be rewarded for being suicide bombers, things will continue as they are now. These clerics prey on the poor and the hopeless. Shame on them.

    The madrassas need to be shut down and replaced by schools where young people can learn the skills neccesary to make a living and support a family. It's harder to recruit a suicide bomber when Muslims have families, food on the table and hope for the future.

    So what???s new? A Muslim assassinating another Muslim in the name of Allah ??? same ol??? same ol???. There is no way we can change these folks except to release Capitalism upon them.

    Those nuclear weapons are the only thing that matters in Pakistan. We need to bribe someone and get those nukes before they get us.

    linking the assassination of benazair bhutto to osama bin laden is just another means to place fruther attention on the apparent rectified war on terror which is taking place in iraq for some odd reason instead of afganistan

    If only these obnoxious Americans stopped butting in every country's affairs, the world would be a much better place :)

    As soon as the news hit the air, suggestions of CIA and american involvement became rampant. This whole thing just stinks. Same as the other bombing's around the world. Only the americans think this is done by Al Qaeda, the rest of us know it was the US government at the controls of this and most of the other bombings around the world.Your goverment is not fooling anyone,. The key piece of evidence in this, will be, the fact that no investigation will bring to light any suspects, arrests or reasons.Just like the 7/7 bombings in london, the train bombs in spain, the nightclub bombs in Bali and of course the big one 9/11. Nobody believes this Al Qaeda crap anymore, It's the US goverment, plain and simple. Trying to be the big bad rulers of the world.Keep in mind , that most of the people around the world think that the americans are terrorists, not the muslims, and the american people are to balme for the actions of their goverment. It's a simple, dark truth, just look at history and see who is blamed for most of the violence and terrrorism.

    It is just possible that Al-qaeda and the Pak security forces were responsible, n league with each other to stamp out an opposition party with a strong leader that would have created problems for both those factions.
    The question now is what happens next? To remove Musharraf as Bill Richardson suggest would leave a totally unsecure Pakistan, at the moment he is the evil we know rather than the one we don't know. We (the US) need to support the election process in order to create a stable secular government. That will not happen in a month. The elections need to be postoned to a date certain, says in March, and allow the opposition parties an opprotunity to develop their canidates for PM and the General Assembly. The US can not blindly just support Musharraf and contiunue on as if everything will be alright, it will not be. A true democarcy support be the Pakistani people could actually drive out the 10% extremist, the Taliban and Al-qeada from thier country. It will take time to build that support and that is not something the Bushies are noted for,

    That is one of the most unintellectual comments I've heard in a while, to blame Dick Cheyney for Bhutto's death. You know what? I stubbed my toe the other day and I'm starting to think it may someone in the Bush administartion who is responsible for my unfotunate mishap. C'mon read a book!

    That is one the most unintellecutal respones I've ever come across to blame Dick Cheyney for Bhutto's death. You know what? I did stub my toe the other day and I'm truley starting to think it may someone in the Bush administration who is responsible for my dicomfort! Read a book!

    Without investigating the evidence, I'm afraid that Mr. Reidel's conclusions are nothing more than opinion.We all know about having an opinion. Al Qaeda is often used like the
    'boogeyman" anytime a horrible event like Bhutto's assasination occurs in the world without a shred of evidence. Prime Minister Bhutto Often stated that she was aware that her life would be in danger while pushing for democratic change in Pakistan, but often named Musharraf as the source of this risk. It's also striking that Al Qaeda did not lay claim to such a high profile assasination. While Al Qaeda is a dangerous group that should be brought to justice for its crimes, the Republicans should stop trying to deflect from their scandals and failures in government and work to restore their integrity in the U.S. and abroad.
