ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Asif Ali Zardari, the widower of the assassinated former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto who has little experience in governing, was elected president of Pakistan on Saturday by a wide margin.
Zardari, 53, who spent 11 years in jail on corruption charges that remain unproved, succeeds Pervez Musharraf, who resigned last month under the threat of impeachment. He is expected to be sworn in on Monday or Tuesday, Pakistani officials said.
Zardari has the tacit approval of the United States, which views him as an ally in the campaign against terrorism. He has promised a tougher fight against members of the Taliban and Al Qaeda ensconced in the nation's tribal areas, from where they mount assaults on American and NATO troops fighting in Afghanistan.

Bhutto’s widower is the one who hired the hit man on his wife.
He was a community organizer!
And he did spend a night at a Holiday Inn Express.
Now he’s in command of nukes aimed at India and a military that keeps picture of Osama Bin Laden on the walls in their barracks
sleep well tonight!
Do you have a source on that allegation? I was very interested in the Bhutto assassination, and I unfortunately didn’t follow up on it much. I would appreciate a link to more info. if you have it.
Well, I hope despite his inexperience he does a good job. I hope things will become better for women under his presidency as well due to the number of hardcore Sharia-ists in his country. He’s got a tough job on his hands, and probably could use our prayers whether he’s really for us or against us.
Breaking?
From what I’ve heard he’s corrupt.
Just rumor
How big is a nuke bomb?
Are they always detectable coming in to our country?
How many containers are actually checked????????????
And let the games begin. If B.O. gets elected, our world will be a very dangerous place indeed. Time to start buying guns and hoarding goals.
While I don’t know about that, it could be worse I suppose. Wasnt there a guy who was running who is big into the Madrassas and friend of the Taliban?
Known as Mr. 10%. I wonder if he’ll promote himself to Mr. 20% now.
LOL! That was funny.
