The conspiracy theory out there is that Bhutto told the truth and that is why she was killed in Pakistan by the CIA. Frost knew better and kept his mouth shut.

Why do we immediately think she misspoke?

Keeping the legend (Osama) alive keeps the act of murder in the name of Allah legitimate and allows terror to continue.

Speaking the truth is a deadly sin in the Islamic culture and I believe she is speaking the truth because she had the opposition shaking in their boots.

[...] AllahPundit at Hotair.com comments that “The fact that she mentions it so casually, en passant, and uses a word that’s freighted with moral condemnation like “murdered” instead of “killed” makes me strongly suspect she meant to say Sheikh murdered Daniel Pearl but because she was lost in her train of thought about the jihadis who wanted to take her out she thoughtlessly substituted Osama instead.” [...]

I kept waiting for the follow-up on that and it never came. How can you not ask her to clarify that statement?

My money’s on OBL long dead and feeding the rats in Waziristan. But offed by his own guys? Nah.

If he is dead and our troops find the scum-bags body the troops should stuff a BBQ Pork sandwich in his mouth and shoot him a couple times just to be sure he’s dead.

I’m on the fence as far as if the biach is dead or not, on one hand I hope he is taking a dirt nap and on the other I hope he’s still alive so our brave men and women in uniform can capture or kill (prefer kill) the uber-scum!

Did Bhutto Mean to Say Bin Laden was Murdered?…

Benazir Bhutto said this about Hillary Clinton in an interview in September …

Q: “Why do you think that the U.S. seems to have a harder time with women at the highest level of power than other countries?”

A: “In a country like Pakistan or India, when a charismatic leader dies, people are not sure that the traditions he symbolized will continue—there’s a lot of illiteracy and there isn’t the same access to information. So they tend to transfer allegiance from a male leader to a female descendant, in the hope that his policies will be continued. But in Westernized societies, it’s a little different, because people have greater education and greater access to information—they don’t have the same need to be sure of the message of the leader.”…

Totally misspoke. Had she actually meant it, it would mean that, if she knows about it, gobs of others do, too. And that piece of news would spreak like wildfire.

Nice job by Frost, though, in tuning out so completely and failing to ask a follow-up question that now will never be answered.

Frost seemed to have pulled a Larry King and fallen asleep in the middle of the interview. And yeah, she pretty obviously misspoke here, but read the YouTube comments to see what kind of effect even a slip of the tongue can have these days.

Just be thankful that she didn’t say “Obama” instead.
