AQ after having their butts kicked in the WoT is impetent and has to take responsibity for any act of violence in S. Asia or the Middle East.
The only person who stands to benefit from this is Musharraf, AQ gains nothing.
I hate to dignify that idiotic statement with a reply, but I'm compelled.
IMPOTENT (sp), al Qaeda is NOT. Especially in Pakistan. Showing their lethality and reach in a country where they have a 48% approval rating, benefits them greatly, while HURTING the Mush, GREATLY!!!
AQ is not impotent in Pak and have everything to gain by disrupting the elections. They need to recreate the taliban and that ain’t going to happen in Trashcanistan.
They already own much of Northern Pak and now want to take over the remaining. Bhutto would have stabilized the Country and now they have a chance. This was certainly AQ. The same ones who attack Musharraf 4-5 times a year.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Al-Qaeda may have been trying to frame Musharraf in an attempt to destabilize the country. Certainly martial law is back in Pakistan. If al-Qaeda did it, then they had their reasons for it. Are they prepping the area for another operation? I doubt it, but who knows.
