‘Several senior counterterror officials have told The News that Bin Laden’s Egyptian deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, in particular, is suspected of getting protection from rogue[sic] Pakistani government operatives – most likely retired – who have kept him safe and able to freely communicate during six years on the lam.

Al Qaeda has released a record 94 video and audiotapes this year, including 13 statements by Zawahiri, according to the IntelCenter research firm.

Days before Bhutto’s slaying, the brazen Al Qaeda leader invited journalists to submit questions to him in a virtual press conference on jihadi Web sites.

New York University’s Barnett Rubin[CFR], an expert on the region, said Indian intelligence officials are convinced Zawahiri is aided by allies within Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency, despite[sic] its alliance with the CIA.’

Benazir Bhutto is/was as much an agent of the west as any “legitimate” politician must be to receive mainstream media coverage. She is/was the Clinton to Musharraf’s Bush. She is the imagined opposition, used to polarize and divide even as she spouts the usual drivel about democracy and the will of the people.

Do the math. Her father was a major political figure, also assassinated. Two brothers hijacked a plane and killed passengers. Now, the surviving one is now making noise about entering politics along with her husband.

While Musharraf and friends were surely gunning for her, most likely for their own selfish reasons of survival, I suspect two critical mistakes on her part sealed the deal.

First, she stated that there was no need for American troops in Pakistan. An offering to the local populace to enhance her credibility, we can be fairly certain it was a hollow statement, but in the theater of world opinion it was a point of no return. Such ideas will simply not be tolerated in any asset, no matter how hollow the words behind the forbidden meme.

Second was what MAY have been a faux pas during the Frost interview, threatening to compromise ongoing western propaganda efforts. Stating aloud to the world that ObL was “murdered”, while his ghost appears to still be hard at work in the newspapers, might cause some trouble.

Like Indira Gandhi, she cultivated a motherly image as the matriarch of Pakistan. Such appeals pluck firmly at the heartstrings of all but we the over-informed cynics. And also like Gandhi, she has no qualms about steering the ship of state directly over anyone who gets in her way.

She is a martyr only in the sense that her life was taken fighting for her particular version of Pakistan. The real question is: whose version was it that she was really advocating? Who was pulling HER strings? As ever, Cui bono?

With what perspective I can gather, given her recent appearance before the CFR and their “sign-off” on her efforts, my suspicions lean toward Musharraf’s ISI prolonging his stay as long as possible, most likely by way of stalling long enough to allow the US military time to get a more solid foothold.

One could certainly also conclude that such an act would go along way toward creating the appearance of in-fighting, even if actual internecine conflict isn’t in play. Another one of those thin-veil moments, like Z-Big’s speech before the Senate. We know power is being shifted behind the scenes, we just don’t know exactly why.

This time she got better advisers ie much more direct contact with the ppl.

She was “good” as she would let US troops in and all the past “compromising” would be history.

This is a life cut off just prior to its bloom. I agree with Kevin. Surely,the U.S. might have to pull a few special guards off of the poppy fields in Afghanistan and the oil fields in Iraq to attend to its nuclear power compatriot in Pakistan. But a little bird told me several months ago the ways and means to protect the nuclear arsenal there are well underway.

But that does not mean that Pakistan will not descend into utter chaos. I think that is a given. The iron fist (or dick) of the Mush (arffah) regime, by this death, just got a little softer, and lost MOST of its hard on.

Astrologically, we are at an Aries Point. Events of recent lore that occurred at these points include 9/11, the Tsunami in Indionesia, and Hurricane Katrina. So certainly, this is a world changing event. Google Aries Point if interested.

Om Namah Shivaye Bhutto.
Find Peace Joy and Happiness in your reconciliation with the elements.
