The "smartest woman in the world," "our first female president" and unindicted Clinton administration co-conspirator has advanced a theory that Pakistan's military may have assassinated Benazir Bhutto. This was stated without a shred of evidence, and at the risk of alienating a friendly government.
Sen. Hillary Clinton fell into the same trap when voting for the Iraq war. She can speak and vote without thinking. Do you really want to vote for this "experienced" half-wit for president? She obviously did not ask her husband for an opinion first.
We need stability in that area of the world. India has nukes and is nervous. Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf is the only one to provide national stability, even though he does not have a 100-percent human rights track record. No one has a clean track record on human rights, and we do not live on planet Utopia.
At least the young, charismatic, "inexperienced" senator from Illinois, Barack Obama, had enough sense to keep quiet and not put his diplomatic foot in his mouth.

Pervez Musharraf is the cause for the insecurity in Pakistan, The obvious cover up in Bhutto's murder is evidence that he very well could have ordered the murder, or was implicit by not providing proper security for her in hope that she would be killed. Get a life, think critically, and quit following the party line. Even the Bush administration has voiced concern about this cover up.
You've got eyewitnesses saying she was shot and the government saying she died from bumping her head on the car. It does sound fishy. It is possible the person who shot her was admitted access by the security contingent.
Sen Clinton makes numerous socialist missteps every day, but this wasn't one of them. There's good reason to suspect Musharraf and his military for the assassination and cover up.
It is destiny for Bhuttoist to become Islamic martyrs. Martyrs are people who recognize they are being taken advantage of and choose to remain in the situation. Martyrdom is an Islamic method of procuring heavenly status. Suicide bombers, politicians, soldiers, et al, want to be martyrs. However, mullahs & emans don't seem to be that eager. Hmmm ... what-up wit' dat?
Well, perhaps Scotland Yard will let us know who killed Bhuto. Hitlery has shot from the hip again and as usual, hit herself in the head.
Right or wrong, Hillary needed to keep her mouth shut.
When the dust settles, I believe we'll find that Musharraf & Co were responsible. If Pakistan were really our friend, they would have let US troops into the tribal lands adjacent to Afghanistan to find & wipe out Osama and al Qaeda. That seems a reasonable request in exchange for the billions of American dollars wasted in that country.
The US has no friends in the Middle East. Never has and never will
"no one has a clean record on human rights..." Boy, did you say a mouthful there, considering the human rights abuses by George W. Bush and company. It amazes me that folks like the letter writer harp on imaginary misdeeds by Mrs. Clinton while ignoring the very real misdeeds of Mr. Bush, Mr. Cheney et al.
Hillary is fighting for her political life to defeat Obama. She has to prove her "insider information".l The woman is power crazy.
As said before she will say whatever she thinkns might get her a vote or two. To Heck with the U.S., this about Hillary.
I hear a rumor is being tossed around that if Hillary is elected she will nominate Slick Willie for the Supreme Court. Now that's a confirmation hearing I want to watch
Perjurer, Supreme Court Justice. Say it won't be so. At least sleazy private detectives will be assured of employment to discredit and threaten anyone with negative info on him, again.
grouse, you write like a cheer leader for the "hate America first" crowd. Well done, anyone who reads you has no doubt where you stand.
