Sadly, predictably, Benazir Bhutto is dead. Now the chattering class is holding forth on who might have committed this latest atrocity brought to the world by the “religion of peace.” Some blame President Pervez Musharraf. Well, in that he survived no less than three such assassination attempts himself, he should be considered some kind of expert on the issue.
Oddly, those who blame al Qaeda are being dismissed. Even in the face of an al Qaeda statement taking responsibility for the assassination, the head in the sand crowd insist that single targeted assassination is not al Qaeda’s forte. Even though al Qaeda has tried to assassinate her before and made it clear that they’d prefer her dead.
So why not accept the whackos at their word? They did it. Well, it’s election time. Now, we can’t have al Qaeda raising its ugly head and scaring security minded people into voting for security minded Republicans. It is better if this election were fought on a fertile field of Democrat issues such as health care and universal pre-K. After all, who cares if we’re secure but don’t have free universal pre-K? Or is it the other way around? I always get confused around election time.
Because it’s a political loser, Democrats cannot accept that al Qaeda might be responsible for this disgusting event. Better that Musharraf be held responsible. After all, he’s a Bush ally.
Now, Dems are lining up against Musharraf. Cut off US aide! Hold him responsible! Send in the FBI! Election must go on and get Musharraf out!! Better take a deep a breath. Call Musharraf and tell him:
Protect the nukes
Maintain stability
Protect the nukes
Reschedule election once the opposition has identified a leader
Oh yeah, protect the nukes
Musharraf, like it or not, is our best bet for protecting the nukes and maintaining some semblance order. If Dems get their way, who knows what we’ll end up with.
