White House Condemns Bhutto Attack
Former Prime Minister of Pakistan was a Key Ally to the U.S. Government

ABC NEWS Dec. 27, 2007

Share The White House has released a brief statement on the death of former Prime Minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto, saying "We condemn the acts of violence which took place today in Pakistan."

President Bush is set to make a statement about the situation at 11 a.m. ET. He was informed of the attack and Bhutto's death this morning.

According to White House spokesman Scott Stanzel, "The President has been informed about the situation in Pakistan. He was told about it this morning during his regular briefing, which began at 7:30 Central Time."

ABC News' Jonathan Karl visited Islamabad earlier this year with Vice President Dick Cheney. On that trip, senior officials spoke about their fears that Pakistan could turn to what one official called "the dark side." Bhutto's assassination will not likely help in avoiding that turn.

1. Hitler condemns those who shot prisoners "while trying to escape"

One hand condemns the other.

This is the handiwork of Busharraf and his Bushies in the ISI, both friends of al-Qaeda.

Bhutto might have actually assisted in rooting out al-Qaeda from the tribal areas, and this could not be permitted.

That's my take on it. There are probably many other reaqsons we don't know about, but the Bushies dared not allow Bhutto to regain control of the nation and root out those whom are under Bushie Protection.

"You were maybe expecting something else when you allowed a republicon occultist to steal the White House and say not a word at all about his occult Skull & Boner cabal? Smirk."

4. Beyond the neocon's scope

This isn't within the neocons scope... they only see it as "destablizing". They are secretly happy because Bhutto won't threaten Musharov's power structure. They won't mention this. There will be great show crying... but they will continue to support Musharov regardless of events.

7. No love lost between the neocons and Musharaff n/t

8. Interesting that I knew about it before Bush did, and BTW,

did any of you think he looked a bit hung over this morning in his remark from Crawford?

[lebkuchen]

9. Bush called it a "cowardly act"

Was he intentionally pointing the finger at himself?

10. He has a way of telling the truth inadvertently.

For example, when he really gets rolling in his state of the union speeches, he's usually jabbbering about how scary and powerful the "terrorists" are, i.e. praising his own evil self.

12. In Bush's ABC interview he said Musharaff had advanced democracy

when clearly Musharaff had done the exact opposite. I'm afraid for the Pakistani people, and for Americans, who suffer from the same dictatorial leadership as Pakistan, cowardly as it is. There was no way Musharaff was going to give up his control, any more than the Bushies will relinquish theirs in the coming "election."

11. Bush's statement will 1) be an impotent assessment of the situation and

2) make some sort of dumb ass allusion to this peaceful time of year...

13. As expected, I noticed...

... that he made no statements along the lines of "there should be an investigation so that the people responsible for the attack would be discovered and punished"; I assume that it was because he would have been unable to keep a straight face, in light of all of the coverups that can be put at the feet of his administration in our own government.

14. You guys may have driven this rare species away. Hardly a soul

in this country can defend Bush and you had him right where you could dissect him by q and a - we could have had a profile of rarity and instead we plucked off his legs and ears?

15. and the saddest thing...

I missed it....:evilgrin:

16. They don't even get the IRONY and HYPOCRISY...

but yet Hugo is somehow a "dictator" and bush is "legitimate"...

simply astounding...
