The ghastly murder today of Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan is a classic example. This is an irreversible disaster for her personally, but not necessarily for her country. It offers Pervez Musharraf a platinum opportunity to hold his country together and rid it of its twin evils.
For an understanding of Pakistan from its creation in 1947 to today, you've got to read The Lunacy of a British Legacy. Focus especially on the Islamofascist behind the ISI (Pak intel), Hamid Gul. Musharraf placed him under arrest in early November but released him a month later.
There are two theories over who killed Bhutto, Al Qaeda and the ISI. They are not competing but complimentary with Gul the nexus. Musharraf now has the chance to funnel the outrage towards smashing Al Qaeda in the Pushtun tribal areas and unleash the Army upon the ISI. One indication of how he'll move is if he has Gul arrested and shot.
But if he doesn't carpe diem, 2008 will see Pakistan in a meltdown maelstrom. At this moment, Pervez Musharraf is the only thing holding Pakistan together. And note: Nawaz Sharif is Hamid Gul's stooge. That Sharif is now demanding Musharraf resign is one more indication Gul orchestrated Bhutto's killing.
I felt it was strange that there was a "failed attempt" during one of Sharif's rallies the same day Bhutto was assasinated.
I read Dr. Wheeler’s account of the real Charlie Wilson’s war yesterday and again today. Is this Gul dude the same guy he mentions as Gulbuddin in yesterday’s WND article? This is all so very interesting. Except, of course, for all the people who are dying as a result of these power plays.
I think when we get to heaven (if not sooner), we will find 2 ISI groups were involved - one, with a naive shooter, thinking he would be whisked away, and the second, with the suicide bomber, to eliminate the first. A modified Kennedy conspiracy (if ou believe in that sort of thing, which I don't), without the need to rely on a closed-lipped Ruby. Can't wait for the Oliver Stone movie.
