Bhutto on the March, Pakistan Trembling

Fallon - can he figure out Pakistani politics?

The struggle within Islam, fearlessly fought:

Using the news media unabashedly, Ms. Bhutto has been outspoken in particular against terrorism, saying things that few local politicians dare to against the religious and jihadi groups. She is the only politician in Pakistan saying loudly and clearly that suicide bombing is against the teaching of Islam.

She has also attacked conservatives in the government, including officials close to the president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, accusing them of aiding and abetting extremists, and supporting the bombers who attacked her. -NYT


Meanwhile, residents are fleeing from Swat, an area under 'dispute'.

The top US Commander is right now in ... "talks", as the looking glass gets clouded.
