- Napoleone, on 01/07/2008, -3/+79The gunman and conspirators were responsible. She definitely made it easier for them, though.
- ordig, on 01/07/2008, -2/+30And yet he wouldn't let her hire professional international body guards. Hmmm....
- andrewcsayer, on 01/07/2008, -7/+28Come Feb 16, Musharraf is going to lose the election and somehow still remain president
- willscottsi, on 01/07/2008, -12/+30I think Musharraf needs to *disappear* in the night.
- chillypacman, on 01/07/2008, -9/+23Her exile was self imposed.
She was elected into government.
The country is in the middle of a civil war and Bhutto carries a lot of influence, her being leader for life has to do with the different political climate in that part of the world.
SHe may not have been a saint btu she was a credible threat to Musharafs administration. More than likely Musharaf had something to do with her death, and that alone shows what a dangerous man musharaf has become. - SlimFastForYou, on 01/07/2008, -0/+14Musharraf is not running in the election. He was already elected in October and has a 5 year term. Pakistan has a Parliament and a President and a Prime Minister.
- Tryptomine, on 01/07/2008, -3/+13Its not the killer's fault, she was standing! Standing!
I know a few people I'd kill for standing... - evilpoptart, on 01/07/2008, -3/+13I think musharaf doesn't care and wants the story over.
- Learn2Think, on 01/07/2008, -0/+9Why the heck is TerrotByteX being dug down?
Folks, trust me that she was not the saint that the western media is making her out to be.... She appointed herself "Chairperson for life" of her party and left a will appointing her son, who by the way is still in college, as her heir. So much for democracy and rule of law. Her husband was known as Mr. Ten Percent throughout her time in office. She was found guilty of money laundering by Swiss courts. Her brother died in a police shootout when he started challenging her and get this: the crime scene in this case was also washed away before any evidence could be collected and the police officer committed suicide 3 days later :-).
Check out wikipedia or google for Murtaza Bhutto, her brother and Asif Zardari, her husbanf. It is all out there.
No one deserves to die like that, no one. But make no mistakes about it: she was a typical 3rd world country, corrupt politician. Not some beacon of hope for democracy and the people of Pakistan. - loki440, on 01/07/2008, -0/+8Damn. . .I'm surprised You Tube allows something so graphic on their site...
- solid12345, on 01/07/2008, -0/+7People keep screaming she didn't have security, but what good is a armored car if you are hanging out the sun roof?
- MikeFallopian, on 01/07/2008, -0/+7Great footage, but definitely not for the weak of stomach.
- Aanidaani, on 01/07/2008, -4/+11Talk about obvious... the moment she entered the country again she endangered her lives and the lives of countless others. Not only was she at fault for her own death, but her rallies also led to the massacre of thousands of her followers. Regardless of how important her political message was, the truth is that she was in large part responsible for what happened.
- Groovemaster, on 01/07/2008, -2/+9I think he arranged it and wants the story over.
- theshalit, on 01/07/2008, -0/+7The lesser of two evils is still evil. I preferred living under Musharraf then Bhutto. Atleast Musharraf wasn't an ***** until after the war on terror. Bhutto has been a thief all her life
I will never understand why she has been treated like a martyr by our opportunist media. The woman was a crook and given power she was no better then musharraf - tumples, on 01/07/2008, -1/+8I hope to god you are being sarcastic? Blackwater are the most unprofessional, badly trained and gung ho "private security" teams that are around now. Read about the story where they got shot at so opened fire and killed about 20 civilians in Iraq a couple of months ago.
- gstep, on 01/07/2008, -2/+8What happened is a tragedy. Bhutto was well aware of the danger though. This came after multiple threats and attempts on her life.
- l0k0, on 01/07/2008, -1/+7"For standing up outside the car, I think it was she to blame alone. Nobody else. Responsibility is hers," Musharraf said in the interview taped on Saturday morning.
No one else!? Not the gunman? Not the suicide bomber? Not your hopelessly unstable and incompetent rule, which desperately needs replacing? At the very worst she was partly to blame, but to say "it was she to blame alone" is blasphemous and incredibly disrespectful. - gothelium, on 01/07/2008, -2/+8Yeah, 'cause she also fired the gun and set off a bomb..
- XBSHX, on 01/07/2008, -4/+9I don't mean to sound like a dick but she was asking for it. She knew that her life would be in danger if she returned and yet she does anyway. She even continues to stand up hanging out of the sun roof in her car.
- source1984, on 01/07/2008, -0/+4not true. everyone warned her. she IGNORED warnings.
- thatsmyaibo, on 01/07/2008, -0/+4Hell I clicked it hoping it was the Rick Roll. My day is complete.
- crichton101, on 01/07/2008, -1/+5yes, the likelihood of her still being alive would be better with them, sadly, the likelihood of everyone around them in the general vicinity, including any attackers and/or innocents surviving aren't quite as good. Those blackwater dumbasses are more jumpy and trigger happy then a chihuahua with a M60.
- redcard, on 01/07/2008, -0/+3She even admitted on NPR, NPR of all places! that while the money was taken, none of it is in her name, and therefore she is not liable for it.
Granted.. it's in her mother's name.. her husband's name.. one of her kid's name..an aunt's name.. a grandmother's name... but not hers. Nope.
This is why the husband didn't take over, because he is sitting on a ton of the Pakistani people's money in Dubai. - Barbosa, on 01/07/2008, -0/+3more than 100 people died that same day she returned from exile in a suicide blast that was aimed at her... she definitely could have done more to maintain her security (like not appearing at so many rallies) but in this incident I don't think she is to blame; she was not going to be able to survive the plan to off her unless she went back into exile.
- glinsvad, on 01/07/2008, -0/+3That is a polluted stream of consciousness
- swordedge, on 01/07/2008, -1/+4Everyone that doesn't think that Musharraf is the next best thing to Mohammed causes their own death, even if the mechanism is a bullet from someone on Musharraf's payroll.
- TerrorByteX, on 01/07/2008, -28/+31Half the country wanted Bhutto dead. She was convicted on charges of fraud and exiled for a reason. She's a crook. She stole from the Pakistani treasury, and just ran off.
She's not the saint that CNN makes her out to be. She was, supposedly, a staunch supporter of democracy. But within her party, she was to remain the leader for life. So if the party ever came to power, she would be the leader for as long as she was alive. Pretty ironic, no?
No one deserves to die like that, but it was bound to happen. Good riddance. - tk0680, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2Blackwater would have done it themselves ...
- tk0680, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2Wait wait, you admit she was never convicted (never even tried) yet run through two paragraphs as if that wasn't the case? Mob mentality, much?
- lastfarker, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2I was in Pakistan when she was assassinated. One thing 99% of Pakistan population agrees is that she didn't deserve to die this way --no one does.
But Please take a little history into context when looking at this tragedy. Bhutto was by no means the saint she's made out to be in the west. The "self imposed" exile was to avoid multiple fraud case prosecution. In fact she and her husband were convicted by a swiss court for banking fraud (money likely looted from Pakistan).
I'm in no way supporting Musharraf's or his rather insensitive comments. But do consider the historical facts and get information from multiple sources, especially from independent sources rooted in that country. Pakistani's feel very misunderstood in the west, its people have suffered more loss in their own land than the US. All because of some previously underground ***** in army and the volatile tribal region. - Barbosa, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2ZuuiU
- mrloco, on 01/07/2008, -1/+3Damn I haven't seen that one before.
- poiuytrewq44, on 01/07/2008, -1/+3Of course she was a threat, that same night she planned to release her 160 page report on how the coming elections were going to be rigged by Musharraf.
- THETEH, on 01/07/2008, -2/+4Yeah, it's all her fault!!! Just like Abraham Lincoln was solely to blame for his own assassination--he shouldn't have given that speech that night, instead he should have GUESSED that someone in the crowd was going to shoot him!!! Gimme a break.
- TheMu, on 01/07/2008, -2/+4And people who are killed in drive-by shootings? Their fault for standing outside.
- badfishmedia, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2He could have been a little less callous about it but she could have been more careful. I would not hang out a car sunroof if I knew people wanted me assassinated.
- ryan83189, on 01/07/2008, -1/+3Actually, I havent seen that video before, just the other one.
- MJG2007, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2Makes sense to me. If you can't trust a military dictator who suspends civil liberties and dismisses the supreme court, who can you trust?
- source1984, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2who said that?? they offered her body guards. SHE REFUSED. America offered her a company that could provide guards. Her corrupt ass husband refused.
- source1984, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2i doubt musharaff had anything to do with it. extremist groups wanted her dead. musharaff let her know beforehand. U.S. intelligence ALSO let her know beforehand. however she continued going. she was riding on that support of taking risks. The day she died.. she was giving a speech. On the microsphone was a sign that read "Modren Shaheed" - which means Modern Martyr. she saw herself as a martyr. I doubt musharaff did it though because suicide bombers were involved and its hard to get suicide bombers for secular causes. probably was some extremist group. she just wasn't that big of a threat to musharaff. he has bigger worries. its called nwfp.
- theshalit, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2You don't know ***** about Lincoln do you..
- pardonmedoug, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2Is it just a 21st Century thing or has the world always been run by a bunch of goddamned retards?
- garg, on 01/07/2008, -1/+3It's true. It was a dumb move on her part. She herself complained that security was bad and then she stood out of her sun roof? Who does that? I've been to Pakistan and even as person of low political importance, I kept my head in the car.
The investigators should look into what part her husband had to play in her death. He got Benazir's brother killed and now Benazir died and he's the head of her political party all ready to become the next leader of Pakistan. - csopelario, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2if someone cracked musharraf's head open with a .50 cal, would that be his own fault, in his own opinion? either way, that is very disrespectful to bhutto, i don't give a fizuck how bad it is in that part of the world.
- THETEH, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2Oops. I really botched that witty banter, didn't I? Anyway, the point I was trying to make is still the same: don't blame assassinations on the victims, at least not completely. Most people don't have the psychic ability to assess everything they do for assassination risk.
- redcard, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2See.. this is why America is in the perdicament it's in. Nobody freaking KNOWS anything about the history.
Dumbasses. Lincoln didn't give a speech. He freaking went to Ford's theatre, and a gunman (Boothe) snuck past a secret service agent, and shot another, before getting to him. - inactive, on 01/07/2008, -1/+3Bhutto as the martyr for democracy is a laugh. Do you forget that her corrupt kleptocracy brought the military and Musharraf to power in the first place? I mourn the crime for the nation, not the victim.
- schnikies79, on 01/07/2008, -0/+2Do what?I was going to reply but I changed my mind.
Read up a little on the Lincoln assassination then come back. - silentboom, on 02/23/2009, -0/+1Let's just be clear on how she died because some seem confused. She was shot in the back of the head .
