I have read the bible cover to cover while doing jankers in the army (only reading material allowed)
I have read extensively about the muslim religion.

Being another year nearer to my demise today 60 yrs old

One of my best friends in childhood and all through school is now a fundamentalist christian minister and he has never destroyed a country. Many members of my family are "bible belt Baptists" .. none of them have committed acts of terrorism.

...and your point is?

[redzonerocker]

correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't this thread about benazir bhutto?

a muslim assassinated along with her supporters, fellow muslims, in pakistan, by muslim extremists.
isn't it against the rules of islam to kill fellow muslims??
what exactly has gwb & christian fundamentalists got to do with it?

Gentlemen, gentlemen....put down those teddies and get a grip.

Christians, Muslims, Buddhists....we have all fought religious wars, we have all sponsored and committed acts of terrorism.

Back to the thread:

Bhutto was a dirty politician in a world of dirty politics, or at least married to a thief who wrecked her career. One thing she did do is won power in a country where women are effectively second class citizens.

She may have been a lot of things, but this I do know: She was damn brave for doing what she did.

She returned to a country that had rejected her, and where she knew some people wanted her dead.

When the first bombs went off she still stayed on, despite warnings.

She carried on appearing in public, and rode in an open car despite knowing that she was a hunted woman.

And to do that she must have had some principles.

For that at least she deserves a little respect, and the world just may be a poorer place without her.

...and may whatever God there is rot the souls of those who planned her death.

A very strange interview took place on November 2nd 2007, where Bhutto predicts people will try to assasinate her and she also claims Osama Bin Laden is already dead (murdered). Listen to the interview and pay attention at 2:10 minutes

[Big Boy]

The bit about the potential assassination attempts was no surprise - I think that most people could have guessed that one. However, when watching the bit about Osama Bin Laden's murderer, she was very convincing, and made it sound like a matter of fact.

[redzonerocker]

have to agree bb,
it wasn't said as a statement, but as a matter of fact.

[Jockey]

Strange that Frost never picked up on what she said. I would've thought that would be quite a journalistic scoop!

[Big Boy]

Sounds like orders from above. The hunt for Osama Bin Laden is the main reason for such a heavy troop concentration in the area. Take away the figurehead, you lose a lot of the reason for being there.

[redzonerocker]

Strange that Frost never picked up on what she said. I would've thought that would be quite a journalistic scoop!

for me,that just gives the notion more substance & makes it more convincing.it wasn't added in for effect but just part of a general statement of facts.
mind you, frosty is getting on a bit now & maybe his hearing isn't what it used to be

[Jockey]

And once again the whole world press has overlooked this! Maybe in time the 'thought police' will have us believe she didn't really mean what she said - or she never really said it - or the internet you tube was doctored - or its just another of the hundreds of loony conspiracy theories etc. - that is if it's ever mentioned in the 'news'. Better just to ignore it and it'll go away - just like WTC7!

[redzonerocker]

if bin laden is dead, it doesn't mean its the end of the threat of terrorism or jihad or whatever else the fanatics want to call it.
it seems the islamists aim is quite clear.....

If Bin Laden is dead, who's the guy in the videos that keep cropping up to boost Bush's election and war effort? Why are we not informed? So ignore obvious deception and lies, find an old man in another country, get him to say stuff that confirms the right to bomb the hell out of countries!

So your quote from a website called free republic which states:

"Free Republic has been rallying in support of our President and the war effort since shortly after the terrorist attack on America on September 11, 2001. Later, as the inevitable war against Iraq drew closer, more and more of the "useful idiots" of the left began crawling out of the woodwork organizing so-called "anti-war" protests. FReepers are working to ensure that these communist organized (See: INTERNATIONAL A.N.S.W.E.R.) demonstrations do not go unanswered. Patriotic Americans are countering these misguided terrorist supporting leftist groups wherever and whenever they show up. Join or form a Free Republic Chapter, grab your signs, unfurl the flag, and prepare to support your country!"

Sounds like something akin to Nazi propaganda!

How easy would it be to visit America and find a 60 year old Facist who advocates spreading the "American Way" "Land of the Free" "True Democracy" and ultimately jokingly get him to say if not "Nuke Them"

I can not see the difference between America bombing and invading other countries and Hitler's Nazis bombing and invading other countries.

When does the "war on terrorism" end? After all Muslims are dead?

[redzonerocker]

jockey,
the muslims fanatics seem to have backward thinking along with their archaic laws & beliefs.
so the war on terror will never end, but the world as we know it will though
