28. I don't know why you cannot grasp it
or why you put your fantasy into it. Lets try looking at what was said again.

"She rang up senior Bush and asked of him, "are you destabilizing my government?" because he paid the then opposition $10 million to overthrow {stumbles for words} the first woman elected in an Islamic country. So we knew that he was your operator."

I would hope we can agree this is what is said in the video. Lets look at it.

"She rang up senior Bush and asked of him, "are you destabilizing my government?""

She - This refers to Bhutto
him - Refers to Bush

We on the same page so far?

"because he paid the then opposition $10 million to overthrow"

he - Refers to Bush again
opposition - Refers to either the guy that got her ousted - President Khan, presumably under orders from Bush - or the guy that replaced her as "caretaker", Jatoi, who was appointed by Khan, again presumably under orders from Bush. Regardless of which he refers to, it is not Bin Laden. Bin Laden, at the point in time referred to (circa 1990) was not involved in Pakistan's government in any way that I can find. He (Bin Laden), as far as I know, was busy in Afghanistan in an effort that was being supported by Bhutto, not only financially but with actual troops. (See S. Coll, "Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and bin Laden, from the Soviet Invasion to September 10, 2001", Penguin Press HC, US 2004)

"{stumbles for words}"

I see nothing of interest here.

"the first woman elected in an Islamic country."

Woman - Referring to Bhutto

We still together here? Good, because now we come to the key part.

"So we knew that he was your operator."

We - I will admit that I am unsure of who he refers to with "we"... perhaps family or the political party... maybe even all of Pakistan. I don't know that it matters.
He - ahhhh, some meat here. "He" refers to the "opposition" (see above).

You know... What is being said here is that the US was behind Bhutto being ousted during her first term. Would I dismiss that? No, the US has a looong history of meddling in other countries politics. Can I prove it? No. You want to get even more specific on the charge and claim that Bin Laden, as an operative of the US, caused her to be ousted. Think about that... You really believe that Bin Laden took time out from the war in Afghanistan to go to Pakistan and get the Prime Minister (that was supporting the effort he was involved in) ousted? Never happened.

You are making shit up.
