Bhutto Assasinated; Ron Paul, Barack Obama Blame America, Huckabee Apologizes
The assassination of Benazir Bhutto is likely to have far-reaching repercussions which cannot even be imagined right now. But the seeming rush of two Republican candidates (and Barack Obama) to try and hang the blame for the assassination of Bhutto on US policy is not merely a lie born of cheap opportunism; it is a lie that is damaging to our country's interests and reputation across the world:
All three of these items--coming after such a momentous and monumental tragedy--are illustrations of why we so desparately need the leadership of serious, sober people for these serious, sobering times. And it is well past high time that certain misguided Americans wake the hell up and drop their love affair with the sleazy and clueless Huckabee and/or the vapid Mr. Paul, and to get behind a Republican with experience, a sober understanding of world events, and the strength and will to pro-actively protect this country from the very Islamists who killed Ms. Bhutto today.
If you want to help make that result happen, here's how.
- Ron Paul's take is, quite frankly, a disgrace
- Mike Huckabee APOLOGIZES??? (and also refers to martial law there which was lifted weeks ago)
- Barack Obama's campaign manages to blame Hillary AND Bush (they would have been better off saying nothing...)
