Osama Bin Laden, the Terrorist, is Safe in Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto, was Not
Osama Bin Laden, the Terrorist, is Safe in Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto, the Democrat, was Not; Truly, Musharraf is Bush-Cheney's "Strong Ally" in the War IN, OF, BY & FOR Terror

By Richard Power

Osama Bin Laden is safe in Pakistan.

Benazir Bhutto was not.

Osama Bin Laden is alive and free in Pakistan.

Daniel Pearl is not.

Neither Iran nor Iraq have nuclear weapons.

But Pakistan does.

She certainly knew she would most likely be killed.

I knew she would most likely be killed.

..................

Every time you ask yourself why US political leaders will not stand up to the Bush-Cheney regime, why impeachment is off the table, why the betrayal of US secret agent Valerie Plame's covert identity goes unavenged, why those who looked the other way while 9/11 went down, then lied us into war with Iraq and attempted to lie us into war with Iran, continue to occupy positions of power and privilege, why violations of FISA, FOIA, the Geneva Accords, the Bill of Rights, etc. have gone on unchecked, why no one is under criminal investigation for obstruction of justice in the firing of the US attorneys or the theft of elections in 2000, 2002 and 2004; remember the beautiful face, passionate heart and eloquent tongue of Benazir Bhutto, remember too Yitzhak Rabin, and Jack and Bobby Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Omar Torrijos, and Anwar Sadat, and the answer will come to you.

They do not stand up because they are afraid.

10. Why would he be dead? He is one of the Bushies' staunchest allies.
He is the Goldstein to the Bushies' IngSoc.

Plus, he knows waaaaaaay too much about what REALLY happened on 9/11.

What do you suppose they were discussing in July of 2001?

13. Maybe, maybe not
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=358&topic_id=3185

I've compiled some references for the research section. There are bin Laden experts that think he is dead, but Robert Fisk (with whom I have communicated about voice morphing) thinks he is still alive. I can't see blowing off the opinion of one of the few westerners to have interviewed bin Laden.

15. "Osama bin Laden" like Max Headroom cannot die
until his subroutines are terminated and the power is turned off on the machine that generates his image.

9. Only Bushfriends are safe from assassins. Just a coincidence, though, I'm sure.
And the Anthrax mailings were a powerful, recent, brutal reminder.

The Bushies can murder you, and then tank the investigation like a Mafia Victim wearing cement overshoes in the East River.

14. So what you're saying is the good leaders are all assassinated, and that's why
we've got a bunch of cowards in Congress.
