    Managing Myth, Media Manufacturing By David Glenn Cox
    The tragic death of Benizeir Bhutto in Rawlipindi Pakistan has moved America’s last manufacturing base into high gear. The American President Bush implies that it was Al Queda and Muslim extremists solely responsible, no investigation needed. Fred Thompson part time Republican presidential candidate and full time idiot came out on the day of Bhutto’s murder blaming Al Queda an Islamists with no proof what so ever.

    FSB reports presented to President Putin on the assassination of Pakistan opposition leader Benazir Bhutto today are detailing what Russian Security Analysts are stating was a ‘sophisticated’ sniper team attack which left the loved leader of her people dead.

    In the following interview, which took place after the first assassination attempt on Benazir Bhutto when she first returned to Pakistan after eight years in exile, she states that Omar Sheikh murdered Osama Bin Laden. The statement occurs 6 minutes and 10 seconds into the interview.
    By making this statement, Bhutto proved that she was genuine, but unfortunately she also sealed her doom. Even though it is well known that Osama Bin Laden has been dead for a number of years, very few (…)

    BHUTTO, BUSH, AND MUSHARRAF
    John Chuckman
    With the assassination of Ms. Bhutto, we are given to understand, by many newspaper stories and broadcasts, that anti-democratic religious zealots killed Pakistan’s last hope for democracy.
    Ms. Bhutto was in many ways an admirable and accomplished leader, a talented woman of courage, but her assassination was a far more complex event than simplistic claims about the dark work of anti-democratic forces.
    President Musharraf, (…)

    As in all major events that change the course of a nation or history, one has to ask who benefits most from such events.
    In the months preceding her return to Pakistan Bhutto was suddenly sprung from obscurity into a goddess and a saviour of Pakistan. From her appearance before CFR (council on foreign relations) earlier this year to her meetings with various high level people in America and Europe, she was set up as the highest democrat of the Muslim world. The controlled media crowned her (…)

    What happens now in Pakistan
    Omer Subhani – Counterpunch December 27, 2007
    1. I have to start off with my recent perceptions of her. She was a corrupt politician who was more interested in her political legacy than in the welfare of her nation and people. President Bush said today that Bhutto was someone who fought against terrorism. She did so, conveniently, post 9-11. During the mid 1990s she was openly pro-Taliban as the Pakistani government was one of the few nations in the world (…)

    I posted the following information when Musharraf declared a state of emergency, and unfortunately the analysis remains valid now that Benazir Bhutto has been assassinated.
    To understand the seriousness of the situation in Pakistan consider watching or listening to the following interview with the acclaimed British-Pakistani historian, novelist, political campaigner and commentator Tariq Ali at Democracy Now! (video, audio and transcript). It is a great analysis of what is happening in (…)

  • US Officials See Waste in Billions Sent to Pakistan
    26 December 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    The US has poured billions into Pakistan’s struggle against Al Qaeda and the Taliban. But some American officials are now saying that Washington got too little for its money. And that much of the funding may have been misappropriated. Dov Zakheim, who served as the Pentagon’s top financial officer until 2004 and helped set up the program in late 2001, said in a telephone interview that while he was at the department, the military carefully checked whether Pakistan carried out the operations (…)

    Laura King and Sebastian Rotella – Los Angeles Times December 17, 2007
    Pakistani authorities said Sunday that they had launched a manhunt for a suspect in an alleged plot to blow up trans-Atlantic jetliners who escaped from police custody a day earlier under murky circumstances.
    Senior Pakistani officials did not confirm the escape of Rashid Rauf, a Briton of Pakistani origin, until nearly 24 hours after he fled Saturday. He was reportedly able (…)
