December 27, 2007, 12:21 PM Clinton Reaction to Bhutto Assassination Posted by Fernando Suarez
(CBS) From CBS News' Fernando Suarez:
LAWTON, IOWA -- Hillary Clinton reacted to the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Ministar Benazir Bhutto today saying, "The world is once again reminded of the dangers facing those who pursue democracy and free elections in Pakistan and elsewhere, in areas that are rife with conflict and violence and extremeism and anti-democratic forces at work."
"I have known Benazir Bhutto for a dozen years and I knew her as a leader. I knew her as someone was willing to take a risks to persue democracy on behalf of the people of Pakistan. She wrote a very moving autobiography which begins with the assassination of her father who was had been the leader of Pakistan and was killed as well."
"I grieve for her family, particularly her two children. And I grieve for the people of Pakistan who deserve to have an opportunity to vote for leaders of their choosing, who deserve to have democracy take root in a country that has tremendous potential that is not being realized because their system of government has oppressed or undermined the abilities and talents of millions of Pakistanis."
"And I hope that if their is any opportunity for the government and people of Pakistan to respod to this tragedy appropriately, it would be to move more steadfastly and determinately toward democracy. She has given her life for that hope."
"And I know to the people of our country stand in solidarity with those who believe, as we do, in the rights of people to be heard at the ballot box. We're about to see that begin in our own country in just a week, and so it is a particularly poignat moment for us to extend our sympathy and condolensces to the Bhutto family and to the people of Pakistan. And I certainly will do anything I can to support the continuing efforts to democratzie a very important and critical nation to the future of that region and the world."
Did she REALLY say 2-0-0-8? Is she planning a coup-de-tat? Or does she have a hard time understanding that the next President (and it WON'T be her) takes office in the year Two Thousand and NINE?
This vile beast is using Bhutto's death to try to "connect" with female voters. I guess the endorsements of daughter & mommy are sticking on the wall.
And a husband who didn't even warrant mention by her thighness.
That’s how he was executed. Is that an “assassination”?
Ive posted a thread pointing out this error on Hillys part.
Thanks for pointing it out.
You’re welcome. I hate it when she lies.(Which is when she speaks).
oops.
what about health care?
Sure are alot of “I”s in that statement.
Once again FR leads the news.
Your observation will be all over the news by this weekend.
You done good FRiend
She dropped Hillary! for HillaryI.
Yep, except where it involves our military overthrowing despotic tyrants (Hussein) to install democracy that may benefit the US, especially if the Commander in Chief at the time is a Republican.
Maybe Hills disowned one of Bhutto's kids? (sarc). Yeah. That's it. That's what happened. Sure....
In plain words, the world is reminded of the dangers of what Hillary the communist would bring.
The son, no doubt.
What a great Ramirez ‘toon! Great find!
Surely, even Hillary Clinton doesn’t spell that poorly.
Run it back through the spell checker, please.
Won’t catch to for too or correct “was had” (when one or the other would do) but it would help.
Another mistake that I thought was transcription, but must be part of the Barbra Streisand contribution to the campaign: “persue”. YIKES! This is supposed to be a presidential “ready” campaign? Double YIKES!
How long until CBS cares to go to the actual President for a reaction, rather than some "randomly chosen" potential candidate?
