Thread Name: OBIT: Benazhir Bhutto Assassinated
Subject: RE: OBIT: Benazhir Bhutto Assassinated
To get off the subject a bit, Obama, to my knowledge, is NOT a Muslim. It would be a damned shame for America if he loses the nomination for that reason. If they just don't think he has what it takes, okay, but if people vote against him because of some stupid rumor (and even if he were Muslim with no ties to any Muslim nation, that should not be a factor anymore than Joe Lieberman being a Jew who DOES have close ties to Israel doesn't seem to rile anybody--but me) that will be yet another black mark on America.

But back on the subject--it now appears that Bhutto was shot after all. As you all know, the Pakistani govt insists that she died hitting her head on a handle. I didn't buy it when I first heard it because a surgeon had already examined her and found bulletholes. How could he be mistaken about that??

New footage, however, shows that she was shot first, collapsed INTO the car and only THEN does the bomb go off. Furthermore, the handle she allegedly hit her head on so hard that it killed her is pristine. No blood on it, not a speck.

When the assassin fires, you can see her hair and veil move or jerk from the impact of the bullets and she collapses down into the car.
I don't see how the govt can maintain that she hit her head on a handle or that the blast knocked her into it. This new footage proves conclusively that it was neither.

God knows what the reaction will be in Pakistan.
