Still in Control
Asked about the 160-page dossier on allegations of planned electoral rigging that Bhutto was to present to two U.S. lawmakers on the day of her assassination, hours after her fateful last speech, Zardari said, "This is the greatest rigging: they have eliminated our leader."
Ironically, that comment highlighted just how deep a leadership vacuum Bhutto has left behind. With Bhutto's children back in Dubai and the killing slowly becoming yesterday's news, Zardari, who says he's not a candidate for prime minister and whose reputation is still sullied after spending years in prison on corruption charges, may find it increasingly difficult to convince voters to cast their ballots for his wife's party next month.

Comment: 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.!!!

Comment: 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.

Comment: 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.
