    Its ridiculous to blame anyone on this part. Why her aide Naheed Khan asked her to get out of the roof at that specific place and time knowing that she is under threat. Who rang at Naheed khan phone at last second, forcing her to ask Benazir to come out of SUV. Pakistani agencies has already collected all evidences from record of mobile phones. Lets see what will happen in next few weeks. Pakistan agencies are going to holed her husband soon and ie the reason that ISI in Pakistan is made under A2Z aide Rehman Malik.!!!

    Zardari is in grief Only God knows that, as a humans we share Bhutto family loss. Looking back at him he is a little more than a thug. He has been one of the main reason for Bhutto's exit from P.M ship 2 times.

    Her biggest error was openly accepting to be a stooge for foriegn power,(s), and announcements like " I will do what they want me too".

    She was a woman who hardly listened toany one, she came on a deal, she was pardoned off her criminal charges and given a chance to work with Mr. Musharraf, she never did that.

    She was not popular among many Islamists and had many enemies back from her ruling days.

    Zardari was famous as r.10 percent, a man who is one of the richest men in Pak now with an estimatedworth of over USD 2 billion dollars.

    He has no right to be the chairman of PPP, Benazir treated PPP as her personal property, and that was un democrated itself. She is gone and we are sad lets move on.
    No one else but Pakistan comes first.

    Why was Zardari missing from her side, ever since Benazir God bless her landed to start her campaign! He
    wanted to show others that the news of her death was not acceptable,until he saw it himself. Next he made
    sure that no postmortem was held. On the other hand the government kept making somersaults in the water
    and not in the air, less the fall broke their spine.

    Asif Ali Zardari stands nowhere in today's Pakistani politics, not in even coming future will he be able to brihten his personality at the cost of Benazir's death. While much of the population did condemn the assassination, still, people were not interested in bringing another member of the Bhutto clan into power. The once dealared mr ten percent by the Western media, Zardari was just trying to play his cards with name changing of his children in particular that of Bilawal. Its about time that 116 million inhabitants in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan give up choosing the Bhuttos,the Chaudhris and the Mians in the elections. Just look around,the worldhad gone too far and we were still struggling in the middle.

    History repeats itself....Back in '96 it was Zardari and his thugs who assassinated Mir Murtaza Bhutto and now he is the one playing the victim.

    Pakistan needs a relatively peaceful transition towards parliamentary rule at the end of the nation wide elections scheduled for February 18. It will help if all political parties would contribute peacefully towards this end.

    In reality the ruling pml q and the agencies of Pakistan has done this assassination. Which is crystal clear.Other peoples blamed for assassination is a lie.

    'We don't believe in the politics of confrontation': Bhutto's widower, Asif Ali Zadari, at a press conference.
    Because, confrontations kill the kick-backs.

    The real murderers are in the USA and the UK. The CIA is to blame for this assasiation and no others.

    Musharraf is a murderer, if not directly, then at least by compliance. Look at the security surrounding Obama or Clinton, you can't see it, but it's there and it's thick. They would not have let Bhutto poke her head out of that van and they would have assured complete and effective screening of the crowd. To bring a pistol and a bomb, both of which are relatively detectable into her presence should have been easily detered. Like the slaying of the Gandi(s) it was a politically endorsed inside job.

    Nobody in Pakistan is benefiting from the turmoil there. Give Musharraf a second chance to control the country. The only party who will gain if Musharraf is removed from power will be the US who will have a new deputy in Pakistan and Nawaz Sharif is the obvious choice. It is not surprising if either Musharraf is murdered in he near future or pressured by the US to go into exile in Saudi Arabia or Britain. However Nawaz Shariff will only be temporary. The new military chief whatisname who is now being recruited and trained by the US will be the next US governor in Pakistan. The US have been known to do all sorts of things to achieve whatever they want. In Pakistan, the US wants the Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project to be aborted, to ensure the success of their sanction against Iran.
