Yes, I heard that - may she Rest In Peace, and may there be some peace in that country, but it appears there will be severe and dangerous chaos first!

You may be correct in your assessment that AQ had infiltrated her security service.
I’m wondering about the faction who think that women should not be political leaders and how Hillary might take this news.

Can anyone post a streaming link? Fox news seems to be streaming Pakistani TV, which is interesting, but doesn’t exactly tell me much.

I was talking to a Paki I work with familiar with the politics and believes the military was involved to prevent her probable election.

It looks like US Intel reamins accurate and true, at least where it matters most, the front lines. God Bless those that are likely already there. Hope and pray that Afghanistan and Pakistan governments can work together against the AQ and Taliban.

If that is true then this was over 30 minutes after the suicide explosion.

This is going to take a few days/weeks to sort out. If Musharaf is assasinated next, watch out for the next gauntlet - a nuclear weapon detonating in Afghanistan near a US base...

Shot 5 times. That had to me one expert rifleman to get 5 hits before he killed himself.
