The following two videos, provided to us by Ibn Yaqoub, demonstrates how the American presidential candidates are attempting to spin the death of Benazir Bhutto to their advantage.
Except, of course, one candidate. Rather than arguing that the United States should do this or that, or support this or that, this candidate is arguing, sensibly, that the United States should completely disengage from Pakistan: no more billions in aid, no more military support, and no more intelligence cooperation. America’s support for a “military dictator”, he says, has been a “bad investment” and it’s time for America to cut its losses and leave the Pakistani people (like every other people) to sort out their own affairs alone and without any US interference or intervention.

He would trust Al Quaeda with an atomic bomb? silly man.
He didn’t say that. Why make things up for?
” arguing, sensibly, that the United States should completely disengage from Pakistan: no more billions in aid, no more military support, and no more intelligence cooperation”
That basically means Pakistan comes down to a civil war between the army and the Islamists. The army would probably win, true, and I’d trust the army with the nukes, but there’s a chance that the Islamists wuld win. Which would give Al-Quaeda nuclear weapons.
The likely result of that would be the US, Israel or India nuking Pakistan in self defence or retaliation. Russia has a stake in not wanting Islamist crazies having nukes, too.
Islam And The West Accelerated Links For 30 December 2007:
Austrolabe on American political reaction to the murder of Benazir Bhutto.
The poor woman was not even buried before the political vultures started swooping in. My sincerest apologies to all Pakistanis and all Muslims of good will; we are a hopeless pagan lot with absolutely no manners.
