Was Musharraf Behind The Assassination Of Bhutto?

[RW]

President Musharraf of Pakistan was very quick to point the finger for
Benazir Bhutto's assassination to Islamist groups with no proof
whatsoever, and so was President Bush of the US, but Bhutto's own
allies blame Musharraf. They say the real killer was a sniper on a
nearby rooftop. Bhutto had repeatedly asked Musharraf for an armored
car for protection, but those requests were ignored. The military
elite of Pakistan had earlier hanged her father, and they hated her
party for earlier calls for insurrection from Pakistan's many poor and
oppressed people. See http://www.wsws.org/articles/2007/dec2007/bhut-d28.shtml

who cares?...How about a billion pissed off Muslims. They will rightly
blame Musharaf, Bush's fellow dictator.


Bhutto herself warned that she was about to be killed by Musharaf.

An armored car doesn't help when you stick your head out through the

Musharraf has given Bush everything he asked for, really pissing off his
citizenry. He had to suspend Pakistan's Constitution in order to
forestall a violent overthrow of his government. World opinion forced
him to back off a bit, and allow Bhutto to reenter the country. The
people were rioting in the streets, demanding her return and a return to
full Democracy!


Yeah, it's been claimed in American media that Bhutto blamed al Qaeda
for an October attack that killed 139 and left Bhutto herself seriously
wounded. But beside her hospital bed, her closest advisors had
chanted,"Dog, Musharraf, dog!" The attack gave Musharraf the excuse to
place her under house arrest, "for her safety." The entire world
complained; there was rioting in the streets of Pakistan. So she was
released and began campaigning again for the coming elections. Which she
was certain to win.


Why did Bush give a **** who won? For the answer to that, you have to
look into recent Pakistani history. Musharraf has been sitting astride a
teeter-totter, with the will of his predominantly Muslim population
weighing down one end and George Bush holding down the other. Musharraf
leans one direction, then the other. He would have fallen from power
long ago without George Bush's considerable help.


Musharraf declared a state of emergency on November 3rd after the
Pakistani Supreme Court ruled it would overturn the results of an
illegitimate election that would have extended Musharraf's term as
president. Musharraf quickly fired the entire Supreme Court, and
suspended Pakistan's constitution.


Pakistan's Chief Justice is being held under house arrest, and over 2500
lawyers have been imprisoned. The government muzzled Pakistan's Press
with the the promise that anyone who criticized Musharraf would face
three years in prison.


Obviously, the motivation for Musharraf's declared emergency is to
maintain his hold on power. And his scheme is working. Musharraf's
brand-new, hand-picked Supreme Court recently ruled Musharraf can remain
in power for five more years.


Meanwhile, the Bush Administration is scurrying around in damage control
mode. After all, Bush has been claiming for years that he wants to
spread democracy throughout the world. Oddly, Musharraf's suspension of
civil rights doesn't seem very democratic.


Bush dispatched John Negroponte to Pakistan to talk sense to Musharraf.
Negroponte publicly urged Musharraf to restore Pakistan's constitution.
But Bush's man may have been saying something else in private, because
Musharraf's restoration of rights was hardly worth the paper it was
written on. The lawyers and the supreme court judges are still rotting
in prison; Pakistan's journalists are still afraid to speak out. So much
for democracy in Pakistan, eh, Mr. Bush?


Since her return to Pakistan, Bhutto had been stroking Bush, trying to
keep the man more or less pacified. Lately, she had been blaming al
Qaeda for every evil up to and including an outbreak of the common cold.
But what was she saying privately?


Bhutto Sent Blitzer Security E-Mail

By DAVID BAUDER � 14 hours ago

NEW YORK (AP) � It was a story CNN's Wolf Blitzer hoped he'd never
have to report � an e-mail sent to him through an intermediary by
Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto complaining about her
security. Conditions of use: only if she were killed.


Bhutto, who was assassinated on Thursday, wrote to Blitzer that if
anything happened to her, "I would hold (Pakistani President Pervez)
Musharraf responsible."


Blitzer received the e-mail on Oct. 26 from Mark Siegel, a friend and
longtime Washington spokesman for Bhutto. That was eight days after she
narrowly escaped another attempt at her life.


Bhutto wrote to Blitzer that "I have been made to feel insecure by his
(Musharraf's) minions," that specific improvements had not been made to
her security arrangements, and that the Pakistani leader was responsible.


Blitzer agreed to the conditions before receiving the e-mail. He said
Friday that he called Siegel shortly after seeing it to see if there was
any way he could use it on CNN, but was told firmly it could only be
used if she were killed. Siegel couldn't say why she had insisted on
those conditions.


Blitzer reported on the e-mail late Thursday.


He noted that Bhutto had written a piece for CNN.com that mentioned her
security concerns and that American politicians had tried to intervene
on her behalf to make her feel safer.


"I didn't really think that it was a story we were missing out on," he
said. "I don't think the viewers were done any disservice by my trying
to hold on to this."


Blitzer was the only journalist sent such a message, Siegel said. He
also sent the e-mail to U.S. Rep. Steve Israel, a New York Democrat.


Siegel said he did not believe Bhutto's opinions had changed since she
wrote the e-mail. Her message specifically mentioned she had requested
four police vehicles surrounding her vehicle when traveling; Siegel said
it seemed evident from pictures taken at the assassination scene that
the request wasn't fulfilled.


Her husband contacted Siegel on Thursday to remind him about the e-mail
message and to make sure it got out, he said.


Blitzer said he had no regrets about the way he handled the story. To
report about it while she was still alive would have meant going back on
his word, he said.


"I don't think there is a clear black-and-white in this situation," he
said. "I did what I think was right."



I don't think there are any cut and dried answers, either. You have to
ask yourself: Who gained from Benazir Bhutto's death?


What did al Qaeda have to gain from her death? If they are proven to be
guilty of the murder of a national hero, it'll ring the death knell for
al Qaeda in Pakistan--and they are smart enough to recognize that
inescapable fact.


With the lady's death, Musharraf gained unopposed reelection to power in
Pakistan. With Bhutto's death blamed on al Qaeda, the Pakistani people
will rise up and kick bin Laden and his boys out into the tender embrace
of the CIA. Therefore, Bhutto's death serves Bush far better than her
life ever could.


Bhutto herself didn't believe that Musharraf himself would order her
death. She believed that he would leave "doorways" through her security
coverage so that someone else could get to her. Someone did. Someone
sent by Bush: because Bush & his neo-CON friends had the most to gain
from her death. Bush sent Negroponte. Organizing death squads has always
been Negroponte's specialty, you know.

RW seems to have a muslim agenda.

Bhutto was murdered because she was for the US entering Pakistan and
finding bin Laden and crew.

ridiculous. That bush claim is a gravy biscuit served up to the
American people. The Pakistani people know better; they're rioting in
the streets against dictator Musharraf and America.
