Projection and Paranoia is a terrible thing to watch-and the shadows are all around as long as the light of truth is shining. The truth is not available in sound bites, you must hear the entire statement and check the facts before declaring something is true. Therefore it is incumbent on each one of us to seek the truth for ourselves; not just blindly follow others who only wish to control us. An excellent example of a disconnected person who insist on blaming those they do not agree with for their own or others misfortune.

Certainly, she was all over the American press making the case for her return but, frankly, why wouldn't she when so much American aid is being sent into Pakistan (with the Democrat Party manuevering to shut off that aid since their palls in Al Qaeda were being hurt by the democracy initiatives). Were I contemplating taking power in Pakistan, I'd make sure US public opinion was on my side too. That being said, I tend to agree with the pundits that place this story as critical in sorting out the presidential wannabes. Some observations: Hillary launched a "I knew her well" speech that made it sound as if they were both pioneering women who were BFF's. Well Mrs. Clinton, friends don't use the still warm body of their friends for political stump speeches. Obama: Enough said. This man is so out of his element when it comes to foreign affairs that he doesn't even know how incredibly stupid he is when not reading from the script. John McCain: Most reasoned and articulate discussion of how such events should be dealt with by the President. Mitt and Rudy: Used the death to serve up the warmed-over GWOT rhetoric. This is a complex issue and it's sad to see that the two real frontrunners in the GOP are unable to show one iota of leadership. I have serious doubts about either ones ability to lead in crisis should they be the one at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. (P.S. Spare me the Rudy did it during the 9/11/01 propoganda. This type of crisis isn't the same as the atrocities on that date. This is long-term crisis management dealing with other nations not organizing resources to pull a city back together). Ron Paul: Only candidate out there that makes Obama look like Cordell Hull or Adalai Stevenson. It’s hard to tell if Bhutto was really a martyr or a politician seeking to make a comeback.
