Re: Pakistan former Prime Minister benazair bhutto
ahhh, I see you have it all figured out.
Not at all,but many in the current US administration,and others,think that we'll believe anything they or mouthpieces like Rush Limbaugh tell us[like Al Qaeda did it],and that we won't bother to find out otherwise.
Following, are some excerpts from an excellent analysis of what could be going on in this case[notice any keywords like chaos,destabalization,terrorism,and pipelines e.g.?].

It has been known for months that the Bush-Cheney administration and its allies have been manuevering to strengthen their political control of Pakistan, paving the way for the expansion and deepening of the ?war on terrorism? across the region. The assassination of Benazir Bhutto does not change this agenda. In fact, it simplifies Bush-Cheney?s options.
Seeding chaos with a pretext
?Delivering democracy to the Muslim world? has been the Orwellian rhetoric used to mask Bush-Cheney?s application of pressure and force, its dramatic attempt at
reshaping of the Pakistani government (into a joint Bhutto/Sharif-Musharraf) coalition, and backdoor plans for a
military intervention. Various American destabilization plans, known for months by officials and analysts, proposed the
toppling of Pakistan's military.

Classic ?war on terrorism? propaganda
While details on the Bhutto assassination continue to unfold, what is clear is that it was a political hit, along the lines of US agent Rafik Harriri in Lebanon. Like the highly suspicious Harriri hit, the Bhutto assassination has been depicted by corporate media as the martyring of a great messenger of western-style ?democracy?. Meanwhile, the US government?s ruthless actions behind the scenes have received scant attention.
The December 28, 2007
New York Times coverage of the Bhutto assassination offers the perfect example of mainstream Orwellian media distortion that hides the truth about Bush/Cheney agenda behind blatant propaganda smoke. This piece echoes White House rhetoric proclaiming that Bush?s main objectives are to ?bring democracy to the Muslim world? and ?force out Islamist militants?.
In fact, the openly criminal Bush-Cheney administration has only supported and promoted the antithesis of democracy: chaos, fascism, and the installation of Anglo-American-friendly puppet regimes.
In fact, the central and consistent geostrategy of Bush-Cheney, and their elite counterparts around the world, is the continued imposition and expansion of the manufactured ?war on terrorism?; the continuation of war across the Eurasian subcontinent, with events triggered by false flag operations and manufactured pretexts.
In fact, the main tools used in the ?war on terrorism? remain Islamist militants, working on behalf of Anglo-American military intelligence agencies---among them, ?Al-Qaeda?, and Pakistan?s Inter-Services Intelligence, the ISI. Mehsud fits this the same profile.
Saving Bush-Cheney?s Pakistan
In an amusing quote from the same
New York Times piece, Wendy Chamberlain, former US ambassador to Pakistan (and a central figure behind multinational efforts to build a trans-Afghan pipeline, connected to 9/11), proudly states: ?We are a player in the Pakistani political system?.
Not only has the US continued to be a ?player?, but one of its top managers for decades.
Each successive Pakistani leader since the early 1990s---Bhutto, Sharif and Musharraf---have bowed to Western interests. The ISI is a virtual branch of the CIA.
Who benefits from Bhutto?s murder?
The ?war on terrorism? geostrategy and propaganda milieu, the blueprint that has been used by elite interests since 9/11 to impose a continuing world war, is the clear beneficiary of the Bhutto assassination. Bush/Cheney and their equally complicit pro-war/pro-occupation counterparts in the Democratic Party enthusiastically support the routine use of ?terror? pretexts to impose continued war policies.
True to form, fear, ?terrorism?, ?security? and military force, are once again, the focuses of Washington political rhetoric, and the around-the-clock media barrage.
Musharraf benefits from the removal of a bitter rival, but now must find a way to re-establish order. Musharraf now has an ideal justification to crack down on ?terrorists? and impose full martial law, with Bush-Cheney working from the shadows behind Musharraf---and continuing to manipulate or remove his apparatus, if Musharraf proves too unreliable or broken to suit Anglo-American plans.
The
likely involvement of the ISI behind the Bhutto hit cannot be overstated. ISI?s role behind every major act of ?terrorism? since 9/11 remains the central unspoken truth behind current geopolitical realities. Bhutto, but not Sharif or Musharraf would have threatened the ISI?s agendas.
Bhutto, militant Islam, and the pipelines
Now that she has been martyred, many unflattering historical facts about Benazir Bhutto will be hidden or forgotten.
Bhutto herself was intimately involved in the creation of the very ?terror? milieu purportedly responsible for her assassination. Across her political career, she supported militant Islamists, the Taliban, the ISI, and the ambitions of Western governments.
"Rather than support a wider peace process in Afghanistan, Bhutto backed the Taliban, in a rash and presumptuous policy to create a new western-oriented trade and pipeline route from Turkmenistan through southern Afghanistan to Pakistan, from which the Taliban would provide security".
"The US congress had authorized a covert $20 million budget for the CIA to destabilize Iran, and Tehran accused Washington of funneling some of these funds to the Taliban---a charge that was always denied by Washington . Bhutto sent several emissaries to Washington to urge the US to intervene more publicly on the side of Pakistan and the Taliban.?
Bhutto?s one mistake: she vehemently supported the pipeline proposed by Argentinian oil company Bridas, and opposed the pipeline by Unocal (favored by the US). This contributed to her ouster in 1996...
The ?war on terrorism? resparked
Every major Anglo-American geostrategic crime has been preceded by a convenient pretext, orchestrated and carried out by ?terror? proxies directly or indirectly connected to US military-intelligence, or manipulated into performing as intelligence assets. The assassination of Benazir Bhutto is simply one more brutal example.
This was Pakistan?s 9/11; Pakistan?s JFK assassination, and its impact will resonate for years.
Contrary to mainstream corporate news reporting, chaos benefits Bush-Cheney?s ?war on terrorism?. Calls for ?increased worldwide security? will pave the way for a muscular US reaction, US-led force and other forms of ?crack down? from Bush-Cheney across the region. In other words, the assassination helps ensure that the US will not only never leave, but also increase its presence.
