  1. G Blogger from Canada writes: US intelligence ???? Ha....Ha...Ha..Ha... Ha... Ha.....
  2. Alberto Bayo from Canada writes: She was doomed as soon as she set foot in Pakistan. All the "intelligence" in the world wouldn't have prevented Bhutto's demise....she was a target for many.
  3. Behind Space from Canada writes: US intelligence...an oxymoron
  4. Mei-Xing Xu from Canada writes: remember when USA was given threat intelligence before 9-11-01
  5. Mei-Xing Xu from Canada writes: Chaney took the advice and diverted planes that could have prevented an attack far far away from the scene, despite the intelligence saying something would happen.
  6. OilerFan in FortMac from Canada writes: She needed a 'popemobile' or at least bulletproof glass surrounding the sunroof.

    On another note, what is with her husband? ... not courageous enough to take the leadership on his own, he instantly makes their 19 yr old son an automatic target by naming him as the future leader and the kid changes his last name to Bhutto!! Stupid move, he will be lucky to live to 30.
  7. Slippery Slope from Canada writes: Despite his undemocratic record, Musharraf is Washington's man.
  8. Dave Robinson from Toronto, Canada writes: Bhutto family has always been a bunch feudal thugs. You need their true colours briefly when one of them gets hanged, poisoned, shot, and blown to smitherenes. Looks like a new Bullseye has been painted on a lazy-eyed Oxford student pumped up by Daddy who wants one more shot at being known as Mr. 15% (5% added for inflation). I truly hope there are not as many spectators next time the 19-year-old wet behind the ears puppet of Daddy gets up to deliver a speech on a Podium in his own home town.
  9. Mistaken Identity from Toronto, Canada writes: OilerFan.....the father won't or can't run due to his record of being Mr. 10%. He was convicted of corruption for receiving kickbacks on contracts while he was in the government.
  10. Mei-Xing Xu from Canada writes: oilerfan you don't run or hide when people try to subvert democracy, you continue on , even if it means threats.

    Good steel does not go into nails, as good people don't go into politics
  11. A Better Canada from No-Quebec, Canada writes: The best security the US could have given: stay out of Pakistan, do not approach Bhutto, do not interfere, do not support her. US are the most responsible for her assasination. Any foreign leader who will be friendly to US will become a loser. Do you understand that, poodle Harper and naive Peter? US should close their 700 bases, come home, and take care of 40 million without healthcare, the millions who are sleeping in the streets, and millions of children who can not afford good education.
  12. A Better Canada from No-Quebec, Canada writes: Surprising that Cheney-Bush-Bolton-Lieberman are not accusing Iran for the asssasination.....or will surely be coming, in a few days....just waiting to distort a few more facts....
  13. X. T. from Waterloo, Canada writes: I am pretty sure that 10% is a good price for democracy. :-)

    Well, I have a feeling that Bhutto's beloved hubby will run a limited time special rate of 9.9% once he becomes the PM. You know, tax cuts create jobs.
  14. Khalid Rahim from scarborough, Canada writes: US Intelligence was betting on the wrong horse to tramle late Bhutto.
    Being on one track mind since 09/11, they have become colorblind and frequently commit accidents at the traffic lights,called friendly fire.
  15. test USA from United States writes: Canadains are pathetic! The US gives a warning to this poor lady that she maybe killed and the smug losers on this board do nothing but whine and slander the US for it. Just curisous, what was Canada doing to help Mrs. Bhutto with her return to Pakistan?

    Canadains = do nothing but complain a lot
