Bhutto Cries Foul From the Grave....

CNN is reporting that Benazir Bhutto was planning to meeting with Republican Arlen Spector and Democrat Patrick Kennedy on the day of her assasination to provide them with evidence that the Pakistani government was planning on rigging the upcoming elections for Prime Minister. Unfortunately I think the reaction of most everybody here is the US is going to be: "Duh. It's Pakistan, what do you expect".

But what gets me is the next claim from the article:

Ninety percent of the equipment that the USA gave the government of Pakistan to fight terrorism is being used to monitor and to keep a check on their political opponents," the report says.

You've gotta love 3rd world countries ehh? The country is the new home for world terror. Their President has had numerous assasination attempts against him. Their political candidates are under constant attacks. The fanatical Islamists are drooling over the prospects of getting ahold of the country's nuclear weapons. And all can do is take the equipment we've sent them to help out and use it to futher degrade their own political institutions.

This is world George Bush has led us into. Our national security, ney, world security is in the hands of a government in Iraq which can't seem to compromise to save itself, a government in Afghanistan that has no control over its country, and a government in Pakistan which is more interested in fighting itself than Al Qaida.

If I were a religious person, I'd say 'God help us'.
