Anyone...? :(
 
I hope it plays out like this!!!


What we are seeing is the developing story catching the rats in a trap.

The media is turning on Mushareff, citing the Bhuttro letter. The neocons are cutting thier own throat by aligning with their dictator that the peoples of Pakistan blame for the assassination.
 
Reposted from a diff thread:

Here's a comparison for you - Huckabee's response:

http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2007/12/27/politics/fromtheroad/entry3650191.shtml

With about 150 supporters crowded around a podium set up on the tarmac of Orlando Executive airport (and about 20 Ron Paul supporters waving signs outside) Mike Huckabee strode out to the strains of “Right Now” by Van Halen and immediately addressed the Bhutto situation, expressing “our sincere concern and apologies for what has happened in Pakistan.”

He said the assassination is a reminder that here in the US, we are lucky to vote “not with bullets but with ballots,” and said “I guess we are sometimes lulled into failing to appreciate the magnitude” of the democratic process.

After moving onto other subjects in his rally (more on that in a moment) he took questions from the press. I asked him what he would do right now if he were President to tackle the situation. He avoided taking a strong policy position, saying he would offer sincere sympathies to the people of Pakistan, and monitor who’s behind it. When asked what he thinks of the Musharraf government and how it has handled the security situation and aid from the US, he replied, “I think today is not the best day to comment on what the Musharraf government should or shouldn’t have done” though “we need a full accounting of that money.” He was also asked if today’s news highlights why the next President needs to have foreign policy, which he lacks. His reponse: “I think it’s more important to have the right principles for the American people.”

He made a bad choice of words when saying the U.S. needs to consider “what impact does it have on whether or not there’s going to be martial law continuing in Pakistan.” He should have said whether or not martial law will be reinstated – it was lifted nearly two weeks ago. A minor slip, maybe, but not a subject he wants to mess up on when he is already considered weak in the area of foreign policy.
 
That was great.

The situation is perfect for Ron Paul to make his position clear. That’s very positive.

It makes the alternative he is offering a real outlined choice.
 
People earlier today were thinking that the Bhutto assassination was the end of the Paul campaign.

I deplore the incident, but I knew as time passed the involvement of Musharraf in her assassination and our policy of propping him up would become the REAL headline. This is coming to fruition... and we must reap the fruit. Ron Paul will become the "go to" guy for non-interventionist interviews such as this.

The neo-con’s have lead us down this path, and we must reverse course.
 
He did great.

One more thing he could emphasize is that we the people can lead by example. We can show other nations what it means to be truly free. We can show people that freedom DOES work. That offers a positive role rather than simply a neutral role.

If we want to assume any responsibility to other nations it should be by way of example.

Dr. Paul has said this before and he can push this concept at every opportunity.
 
Once again Ron Paul made me proud!

(BTW - does anyone besides me think it was the dictator who had Bhutto assassinated to remain in power? everything is being blamed on terrorists these days!)

Could be, I dont know. Anybody can recruit a religious nut. So anybody could be behind it.
 
Unfortunately there will be more instances and examples of our failing foreign policy before the election.

Fortunately, these events will play a role in convincing people that we can have a more positive and productive role as a world leader by providing an example of what it means to be a free and democratic society that values personal freedom through a new and different foreign policy.

We have to win their hearts and minds and that is not going to be accomplished by force.

"Enough is enough" Ron Paul
