"Bhutto’s Persona Raises Distrust, as Well as Hope" byJANE PERLEZ
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Nov. 10 — A day after she was barricaded in her home, surrounded by police officers and barbed wire, the opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was quickly back to a world to which she is more accustomed on Saturday.
By the evening Ms. Bhutto was guest of honor at a high-flying diplomatic reception in the Parliament building here, greeting ambassadors and exchanging nods before television cameras. How easily Ms. Bhutto moves from rallying her supporters on the streets to soaking up the trappings of power and ceremony with which she has long been familiar.
Such paradoxes have only added to the skepticism that swirls around her. She and her old nemesis, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, may yet have enough ambition in common to run Pakistan together.
What shit the MSM is feeding us, huh?
Ms. Bhutto's record in power, and the dance of veils she has deftly performed since her return — one moment standing up to General Musharraf, then next seeming to accommodate him, and never quite revealing her actual intentions — has stirred as much distrust as hope among Pakistanis.
Strange choice of words, huh?
A graduate of Harvard and Oxford, she brings the backing of Washington and London, where she impresses with her political lineage, her considerable charm and her persona as a female Muslim leader.
She's our tool!
But with these accomplishments, Ms. Bhutto also brings controversy, and a legacy among Pakistanis as a polarizing figure who during her two turbulent tenures as prime minister, first from 1988 to 1990 and again from 1993 to 1996, often acted imperiously and impulsively.
She also faces deep questions about her personal probity in public office, which have resulted in corruption cases against her in Switzerland, Spain and Britain, as well as in Pakistan.
She's a crook!
Ms. Bhutto has long seen herself as the inheritor of her father’s mantle, her colleagues say, and she has talked often about how he encouraged her to study the lives of legendary female leaders ranging from Indira Gandhi to Joan of Arc.
I am gagging on the arrogant stinkshit!
Following the idea of big ambition, Ms. Bhutto calls herself chairperson for life of the opposition Pakistan Peoples Party, a seemingly odd title in an organization based on democratic ideals and one she has acknowledged quarreling over with her mother, Nusrat Bhutto, in the early 1990s.
She's no better than the dictator!!!
Saturday night at the diplomatic reception, Ms. Bhutto showed how she could aggrandize. Three million people came out to greet her in Karachi on her return last month, she said, calling it Pakistan’s “most historic” rally. In fact, crowd estimates were closer to 200,000, many of them provincial party members who had received small amounts of money to make the trip.
So the rally was STAGED? BOUGHT and PAID-FOR PROTESTS?
Aaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!
It is such flourishes that lead to questioning in Pakistan about the strength of her democratic ideals in practice, and a certain distrust, particularly amid signs of back-room deal-making with General Musharraf, the military ruler she is said to oppose.
Feisal Naqvi, a corporate lawyer in Lahore who knows Ms. Bhutto:
“She believes she is the chosen one, that she is the daughter of Bhutto and everything else is secondary.”
That's scary!
Ms. Bhutto still rules the party with an iron hand, jealously guarding her position, even while leading the party in absentia for nearly a decade.
While Ms. Bhutto has managed to maintain much of her freedom of movement this week, her biggest rival in the party, Aitzaz Ahsan, the leader of the lawyers’ movement against General Musharraf, was jailed on the first night of the emergency rule.
Mr. Ahsan is a Cambridge University-educated lawyer who served in her father’s cabinet, and then hers, and he defended Ms. Bhutto in a series of corruption cases in the early 1990s.
But in an illustration of Ms. Bhutto’s attitude to competition, he was quickly frozen out by Ms. Bhutto after he was introduced around Washington last year as a possible counterbalance to General Musharraf, senior members of the party said.
Mr. Ahsan’s wife, Bushra Ahsan, said Ms. Bhutto, a frequent e-mailer who is addicted to her Blackberry, failed to congratulate her husband when he won the case to reinstate the chief justice of the Supreme Court, Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, in July.
Both men have spearheaded the resistance to General Musharraf’s military rule this year at great personal risk.
When Mr. Ahsan won election as the leader of the Supreme Court Bar Association this month, again he heard nothing from Ms. Bhutto, Ms. Ahsan said:
“She has not shown any approval of my husband.”
In returning to Pakistan, Ms. Bhutto believed that it was possible to join General Musharraf in some kind of transition to democracy.
Syeda Abida Hussain, a former Pakistani ambassador to Washington, said of Ms. Bhutto’s personal qualities:
“I see her as a vulnerable, hurt person. She’s a chilly, imperial person.”
In the last few months, as she has prepared her comeback, Ms. Bhutto has attended a swirl of public and private events, including a black-tie dinner for 150 at the Royal Air Force Club in London, and she has sought to bring her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, back into the public fold.
Ms. Bhutto’s marriage to Mr. Zardari was arranged by her mother, a fact that Ms. Bhutto has often said was easily explained, even for a modern, highly educated Pakistani woman.
To be acceptable to the Pakistani public as a politician she could not be a single woman, and what was the difference, she has asked, between such a marriage and computer dating?
Hear that ladies?
Ms. Hussain, the former ambassador, described Mr. Zardari as “a warm-hearted fool,” who lacked Ms. Bhutto’s education. He is known for his love of polo and other perquisites of the good life like fine clothes, expensive restaurants, homes in Dubai and London, and an apartment in New York.
Bought with the money they stole from Pakistan!
He was minister of investment in Ms. Bhutto’s second government. And it was from that perch that he made many of the deals that have haunted the couple in the courts, said a former prosecutor general at the National Accountability Court, Farooq Adam Khan, who in 2000 headed the body set up to investigate corruption among public officials.
In an interview, he said the court believed the couple had illegally taken $1.5 billion from the state. Indeed, one of Ms. Bhutto’s main objectives in seeking to return to power is to restore the reputation of her husband, who was jailed for eight years in Pakistan, said Abdullah Riar, a former senator in the Pakistani Parliament and a former colleague of Ms. Bhutto’s.
Mr. Riar: “She told me, ‘Time will prove he is the Nelson Mandela of Pakistan.’”
Unreal!
One of Ms. Bhutto’s informal advisers is a longtime friend, Peter W. Galbraith, a former senior staff member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a former American ambassador to Croatia.
Here come the globalists!
Mr. Galbraith said he and Ms. Bhutto believed they first met in 1962 when they were children: he the son of John Kenneth Galbraith, the American ambassador to India; she the daughter of the future Pakistani prime minister. Mr. Galbraith’s father was accompanying Jacqueline Kennedy to a horse show in Lahore.
They met again at Harvard, where Mr. Galbraith remembers Ms. Bhutto arriving as a prim 16-year-old fresh from a Karachi convent who liked to bake cakes.
Ah, school day memories, huh?
Cohabitation — with Ms. Bhutto as prime minister and General Musharraf as president — made a lot of sense for Ms. Bhutto and the Bush administration before last week, Mr. Galbraith said.
As prime minister, Ms. Bhutto would not be able to control the military, the institution that mattered most in Pakistan, he said. But she would confer legitimacy to a government that has seen its authority steadily erode under General Musharraf."
Everything is being scripted, and strings are being pulled! So transparent!
"Closely Watched, Bhutto Is Allowed to Move" by DAVID ROHDE
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Nov. 10 — Pakistan’s president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, met with military corps commanders, his most important source of power, on Saturday. If the Pakistani leader loses the support of the commanders, he would be severely weakened and could eventually be forced to resign as army chief. No clear signs of opposition by the commanders have emerged so far.
Yeah, if he loses the army, he's done.
And he just had 8 more defect, er, uh, "kidnapped" up nawth!
Meanwhile, speaking in Crawford, Tex., President Bush offered his strongest defense yet of General Musharraf, praising his government’s steps against Al Qaeda’s top leaders since the 2001 terrorist attacks. Mr. Bush’s remarks signaled the depth of the administration’s reliance on the Pakistani leader, a position that has been widely interpreted in Pakistan as acquiescence in the general’s week-old crackdown.
What a fucking liar!
They put out an NIE in August booga-boogaing "CIA-Duh," and now lying shitter says this!
I am SICK OF HIS FUCKING STINK FUCKING LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr. Bush reiterated his demand that General Musharraf suspend his emergency decree, yet praised as “positive steps” his pledge to hold elections in February:
“I take a person for his word until otherwise. That’s what you have to do. Somebody says this is what they’re going to do and you give them a chance to do it.”
Tell it to IRAN, you fucking double-talking, lying, worthless piece of diarrhea flake!!!!!!!!!
WHAT a FUCKING ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!
Ms. Bhutto had been engaged in negotiations with General Musharraf before the emergency declaration over a power-sharing arrangement. American officials have supported the talks in the hopes that the two could form an alliance of Pakistani moderates that would challenge rising militancy in the northwest.
I thought the militants weren't that much of a threat in politics? WTF?
Separately, three journalists from the British newspaper Daily Telegraph were given 72 hours to leave Pakistan for using “foul and abusive” language about Pakistan’s leadership that officials said appeared in a Nov. 9 editorial, Reuters reported. A spokeswoman for the newspaper in London declined to comment.
Western diplomats said signs have emerged that the government, which has already blacked out independent Pakistani news stations, would begin cracking down on international news media. Before the British expulsions, Pakistan began reducing the number of visas issued to foreign journalists, they said."
Stinkshit elites care more about their own than reporting the wars on the frontiers!
Pfffffffftttttttt!
Better never happen here, stinkshit a-holes!
