Opposition leader Benazir Bhutto has been critically injured after a suspected suicide attack at a political rally in Pakistan.
It was believed to be a suicide attackShe is undergoing emergency surgery at a nearby hospital, Sky News sources say.
The explosion went off just after Ms Bhutto left the rally in Rawalpindi, minutes after her speech to thousands of people.
She was set to meet with 2 US Congressmen today, already forgotten who.
I can see I’m not going to make it thru the even the caucus season. Shrillery was on before I could hit “mute,” saying she’d known Benazir for “at least a dozen years.”
As much as I hate BillyJeff, it should be noted that Mrs BJ was not an elected official of any kind a dozen years ago and meeting a head of state through one’s husband’s “business” would not constitute any kind of “alliance” or anything else on the part of the BJ Witch.
In Pakistan?
The finality of every human being is death. Bhutto just determined that she was not going to die being afraid of those who wanted to kill her. She seems to have had a higher spiritual goal for herself. And I cannot fault her for that. There are many martyrs who have faced death the same way. I trust her followers who are left behind uphold her hope of real democracy for Pakistan and carry on her battle for that end so he death will not have been in vain.
BB was to meet w/’Snarlin’ Arlen Specter (the Senator from my state) and Rep. ‘Patches’ Kennedy (D.WI Mass). There is a Getty photo of the two of them placing flowers, in memorium, at BB’s HQ.

Sunroofs not such a hot idea in a terrorist enclave.
I guess Spectre and Kennedy caught a black helicopter outta there or are they over there? BB HQ in Pakistan?
world net daily: AQ claimed responsibility.
The Savage Nation, which by the way is live with it’s regular host tonight, is not shedding any tears for Benazir Bhutto, Savage says Pervez Musharraf no saint(pun) but he (Pervez) keeps the radicals in line more or less.....
Can you link the World Net Daily report that Al Qaida has claimed responsibility?
They had travelled to Pak. They were to have dined w/Musharif then to have met w/BB. No doubt they were quickly evacuated (apres photo op).

AQ claimed responsibility there. If you see the Jerome Corsi link I posted here, it will take you to WND.
That was a cool response. well spoken.
Fred Thompson has an interseting perspective on this. an article on worldnetdaily
Why doesn’t US know where weapons are held (did we forget to ask before we gave Packistan all that money)?
Short range throwing money away is bad foreign diplomacy.
They use the same hair stylist.
