Pelosi questions Pakistan's Bhutto probe
Source: Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Washington should address "troubling questions" about Pakistan's probe of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto's assassination and its cooperation in fighting terrorism before extending any more aid, House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Saturday.

Pelosi called for an international investigation into the December 27 assassination of Bhutto, which Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf's government has blamed on al Qaeda.

Bhutto's party dismissed the government account, saying Musharraf's administration, a close ally in President George W. Bush's war against terrorism, was trying to cover up its failure to protect her.

Pelosi, a California Democrat, said U.S. law made assistance to Pakistan conditional on Islamabad's cooperation in the war against terrorism.

5. Sheesh! My first thought. Not worried about a treasonout administration
that usurped the American government. No problems with that at all. Blank checks for wars (one that we were lied into), spying on the citizens of this country, just too many illgal and illicit acts to numerate. But events elsewhere in the world, well hell, that'll make her sit up and take notice.

She needs to go.

12. Impeach Pelosi.
The people's business might thereafter have a CHANCE of getting done. As long as this Useless Fool is allowed to obstruct Us, we have NO HOPE.

Please, Apologists and Enablers, feel free to tell me why we need to keep this CorpoSlut in Congress. Please go slow, use short words and be CONVINCING.

:rofl:

16. It's the sound of fury
signifying nothing. Pelosi is just mouthing the words because it's all play acting and we're just the captive audience. She is the leader, not us.

:sarcasm:

Being smart means we watch what they do, not what they say.
