The Bhutto Ultimatum – Musharraf Must Play Ball
Bhutto ‘ultimatum to Musharraf’ By Barbara Plett BBC News,
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has given President Musharraf 48 hours to respond to her demands for a power-sharing deal, media reports say.

The drama accelerates for Pakistan. This giant chess game plays a critical role in how the United States addresses it’s Middle East responsibilities. Responsibilities that include ramping down the US role in middle eastern politics. US corporations have been allowed to dictate US Foreign Policy toward their own gain.

Nixon’s “I’m not a crook” statement, in the face of overwhelming evidence, seems to be the Republican mantra. Are those who support this ‘mantra’ blinded by the same delusion that they, too, are above the law!?
