Hillary Clinton: Pakistani Troops May Have Assassinated Bhutto


Well, if this was a pop quiz on how Hillary Clinton would handle foreign relations from the Oval Office, she'd get an "F" and need to stay after school and write 1000 times on the blackboard: "I will think before I shoot off my mouth."
Let's face it, Hillary really thinks she is the foreign relations guru of all of the Presidential candidates - in her own mind of course. Let's not forget how Hillary was all over Barack Obama not too long ago for what she considered him meddling in Pakistan's affairs and making comments about an invasion of Pakistan. And here is Hillary now, buying into some of the conspiracy theories about Bhutto's assassination.
Perhaps someone should alert Hillary to the fact that the only thing keeping nuclear weapons out of the hands of al Qaeda is Musharraf and the Pakistani troops...you know, the troops she has now implied committed murder. And she wants to be MY President??!!

Here's the full story.


Hillary: Pakistan troops might have killed Bhutto

CLINTON, Iowa - Hillary Rodham Clinton waded into Pakistan's volatile internal political situation Saturday, raising the possibility the country's military might have assassinated Benazir Bhutto because the killing took place in the garrison city of Rawalpindi.Clinton's remarks came as Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf's government seemed to reject a call for an independent international investigation of the murder that Clinton and John Edwards proposed on Friday.During a question-and-answer session at an elementary school here, Clinton offered a detailed prescription for the troubled country, suggesting that the U.S divert aid away from its military to social welfare programs.

And for the second time in as many days, she cast doubt on Musharraf's contention that the suicide bombing that led to the death of the country's most popular opposition leader was masterminded by al-Qaida."There are those saying that al-Qaida did it. Others are saying it looked like it was an inside job -- remember Rawalpindi is a garrison city," she said.

In August, her aides accused Obama of helping to destabilize the nuclear-armed Pakistan by suggesting he'd deploy U.S. forces in the country to hunt for Osama bin Laden.But Saturday, Clinton delved into Pakistan's internal affairs, suggesting its "feudal landowning leadership," led by Musharraf, has protected al-Qaida to preserve its tenuous grip on power. In an interview on Friday, Clinton called for an international probe into Bhutto's assassination, saying "there was no reason to trust the Pakistani government."
