Bhutto Follies: Part 3/4 - Masharraf Forever!

Third in the series about the contradictory opinions freepers hold about the Bhutto assassination in Pakistan, without the guidance of Rush.

Here are those saying we need to stand by Musharraf. This is mostly from posts regarding Hillary’s saying Musharraf could have been in on the assasination:

If AQ gets pinned with this assassination, this crisis (at least in the short term) should resolve itself after Bhutto followers vent.

If Musharaff/Paki military gets pinned with this, it may very well spell the end of his rule and seriously opens the door to potentially very bad things happening. The Paki military is the only glue that holds that (nuclearly armed) country together. Take that away and India may not wait around to see who takes over when the dust settles. India is NOT going to let Paki nukes come under the control of some Taliban/AQ inspired regime . . . they will preempt.

Lots of posts like this: This is Serious Business. We should let the nuclear country fall into a military dictatorship. What could possibly go wrong? Also, if we don't India will nuke Pakistan presumptively, and there's no way to stop it. We need to kill the country so we can save it!

If Benazir Bhutto had managed to get the Western world to back a plan forcing Musharref to let her be elected president, she would have lasted no more than two or three days.

Mushareff is having a hard enough time keeping the lid on. She could never have done it.

Cause Bhutto never had to deal with Islamic radicals when she was a woman president of the country!

A key politician was just assassinated and Richardson wants Musharraf to STEP DOWN? You’d want to take extra measures and clamp down on security after something like this, not leave your post! If some big figure politician in the US was shot, would Bush step down? Uh, no.

So it's concluded: we need to encourage a police state in Pakistan. Control the populace with an iron fist. That always ends well.
