Breaking News! Pakistan under Emergency Rule - Tanks in the street.
Edited on Sat Nov-03-07 01:23 PM by democrat2thecore
Have you seen the huge news out of Pakistan today?

Remember when Biden was talking about Pakistan being the real danger at the last debate? Again, a knowledgeable and prescient Biden knows what he's talking about.

Tanks Surround Supreme Court Building In Pakistan

Troops Surround Bhutto's Home

Pakistan In Crisis

Army In Control In Pakistan

State Of Emergency In Pakistan

Constitution Suspended in Pakistan

I think we might now know who tried to kill Bhutto. This is serious business.

One of the stories from MSNBC:

3. This is VERY serious - and not that I'm an integral player, but I would have
been totally gobsmacked if Biden hadn't mentioned the fragility of the situation during the debate on Tuesday. Was the Bush administration gobsmacked as well? Biden wouldn't have been.

5. Not so sure about him being our boy anymore
He's kept the border with Afghanistan safe for Bin Laden and extremists.

9. Wasn't the leader before Musharaff...
...a democratically elected female?

Is that accurate?

8. This is what happens when the supreme court DOESN'T install the maximum leader
Edited on Sat Nov-03-07 02:06 PM by Kurt_and_Hunter
The irony of all this is too much. "Tanks Surround Supreme Court Building In Pakistan"

Sad that our Supreme Court didn't even need tanks ringing the building to get them to install a dictator.

(The supreme court is deliberating whether Musharef was allowed to run while being head of the army... the tanks are just to help them "concentrate" on the issue)
