Video interview on YouTube with Benazir Bhutto in which she is talking about possible assassination attempts on her life, and she clearly says that "Osama bin Laden was murdered". I can't imagine that David Frost didn't pick up on this and flat out ask her again, but I can't find any video follow up questions by him.
Don’t we wish?
Absolutely!
But wouldn't it shake up this election if it were true? While terrorism would still certainly be a concern, I am not sure that Americans would be as angry as they are with thinking OBL is still alive -- and that influences their voting.
WHITFIELD: Do you Musharraf -- I'm sorry. Do you think General Musharraf knows where Osama bin Laden is?Here's an excerpt from an interview on NPR on November 13:BHUTTO: I don't think General Musharraf personally knows where Osama bin Laden is, but I do feel that people around him are many who are associated with the earlier military dictatorship of the '80s. That military dictatorship formed the Iran Mujahideen.
MS. BHUTTO: I have freedom of movement within the house. I don't have freedom of movement outside the house. We've got a heavy police force inside the house, and we've got a very heavy police force -- 4,000 policemen around the four walls of my house, 1,000 on each. We've even entered the neighbor's house and I was just telling one of the policemen, I said, should you be here after us? Shouldn't you be looking for Osama bin Laden? And he said I'm sorry, ma'am, this is our job. We're just doing what we're told.
Good follow-up. Thanks.
It seemed to be too odd that this could have happened two months ago and have been allowed to stand with nothing said since then to clear it up.
Got to admit, though, it was a really weird gaff on her part. Am still surprised that Frost didn’t interrupt her at the time to clarify.
No one would say “murdered” about that devil. “Murdered” is used when you are mad about it.
Good, I may even use it with non Freepers.
You have told the untold story of Kosovo in one page!
I think she misspoke... I think she meant to say Omar Sheikh.
Was that voice on that new UBL video/tape his voice?
Another freaky thing was the bird chirping in the background.
I listened to the tape that was posted on DU, but I discounted it because it had been edited by some left wing radio host, so context and clarity was absent.
Did you hear a copy of the original interview?
Does he have lung cancer? Why would he be on 02? Give me your best guess, please.
The one on YouTube.
He may be a smoker ...I don't know.
Give me a mintue to locate the tape.. I’ll link it here.
Thanks, I listened and it doesn’t make it any clearer. She is speaking so distinctly, but yet she is mentioning the decapitations of several British citizens and then Bin Laden.
I just don’t know. It seems that this would have caused a real fuss if she really meant to say Bin Laden.
Is he old enough to have a lung problem from smoking? He doesn’t sound raspy in his voice though. The fact he’s having to use an O2 compressor is very curious. Like you said, your Mom uses hers at night. If you’ve got lung cancer you use it all the time. I think that is what he’s doing.
Wish that I could take credit for Grandpa Dave, but I took that directly off the Byzantine Sacred Art Blog and she got it from the American Council for Kosovo.
Interestingly enough, the American Council for Kosovo has been so effective, that the Albanians set up a counter-website to it calling themselves "The American Council for Kosova" with just that "a" difference in the website address. The second site is a lie, because no such real Albanian organization exists in the US -- they just hoped to steal the American Council for Kosovo's web traffic should someone misspell the web address. Hopefully, people are smart enough to figure out when they get duped.
