The MSM Coverage is just like November 22, 1963...
Edited on Thu Dec-27-07 07:13 PM by PCIntern
"Three shots rang out..."

" A lone gunman..."

"The lone gunman died in front of many people..."

"Throngs of well-wishers had turned out to see her at the rallies..."

"We're almost certain Al-Quaida did this..we'll have a Commission to prove it (OK, I didn't hear that last part yet but you WILL.)

Remarks made by the victim, "No true Muslim will make an attempt on my life, for they are forbidden to attack a woman." and Kennedy's shrugging off of threats which were made against him and a few weeks before in Dallas, Adlai Stevenson.

It just goes on and on...

2. I don't think aQ did this, I think it was Musharef
and I don't think that's a secret he can keep for long.

3. I haven't seen any TV coverage but
I saw some post at Huffington saying that this "is certainly Al-Quaida"
I would call that an incredibly simplistic assumption. Pakistan political environment is very complex and it's more likely the Pakistani intelligence service.

4. If Al-Quaida was involved, it was because Musharraf's thugs set them up
to take the heat. They simply make a deal with some Al-Quaida foot soldiers. We let you in, you do the dirty work.

I don't see anything like this happening without Musharraf's minions knowing about it.

5. I'm sorry...

it was a single shooter, a lone nut gunman, and if you try to say anything else then you're just a conspiracy theorist.

:sarcasm:

6. Single shooter......
look over there......on the grassy knoll

I, in no way, believe it was AQ.

Most likely gonna be the "crazed" Musharif supporter......

peace
