Quote :

"Benazir Bhutto (IPA: [be?n?zi?r b????o?]; Urdu: ?????? ????, Sindhi: ?????? ????; born 21 June 1953 - December 27, 2007) was a Pakistani politician. Bhutto was the first woman elected to lead a post-colonial Muslim state. She was twice elected Prime Minister of Pakistan. She was sworn in for the first time in 1988 but removed from office 20 months later under orders of then-president Ghulam Ishaq Khan on grounds of alleged corruption. In 1993 Bhutto was re-elected but was again removed in 1996 on similar charges, this time by President Farooq Leghari. Bhutto went into self-imposed exile in Dubai in 1998, where she remained until she returned to Pakistan on October 18, 2007, after reaching an understanding with General Musharraf by which she was granted amnesty and all corruption charges were withdrawn.[1] She was the eldest child of former premier Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, a Pakistani of Sindhi extraction, and Begum ("Lady") Nusrat Bhutto, a Pakistani of Iranian-Kurdish extraction. Her paternal grandfather was Sir Shah Nawaz Bhutto who came to Larkana Sindh before partition from his native town of Bhatto Kalan which was situated in the Indian state of Haryana. She was killed on December 27, 2007 by a suicide bomber."

so she's a corrupt politician.

12/27/2007 8:49:08 AM

hey limpy did you know they think osama bin laden is in pakistan?

12/27/2007 8:55:21 AM

wrong news....few papers report her unharmed and few report her hurt

12/27/2007 8:57:20 AM

^^ Doubtful. They thought he was in Pakistan years ago. It's been published. Why would he stay there if he knows his whereabouts are known

why do these people shoot themselves in the foot every chance they get?

12/27/2007 9:05:31 AM

idk...you'd think after she almost got assassinated on her first day back, by taking an 8 hour joyride through the city, that she'd be more careful

12/27/2007 9:06:39 AM

aha

tiger attacks just got page 2'ed

12/27/2007 9:17:43 AM

woah hold on

you know a woman in a MUSLIM country ain't gonna last forever

12/27/2007 9:17:52 AM

12/27/2007 10:33:26 AM

I have one thing to contribute here:

12 MINERS ALIVE!

12/27/2007 10:40:16 AM

I guess we can say this has been trying to happen for a while but I blopped a tear for this situation. I really was hopeful for her with Pakistan.

12/27/2007 11:22:28 AM

I went to see her speak when I was a n00b at State.

She wasn't killed because she was a woman, and she was actually elected 2x. Here we are in the US worrying even IF we can elect a woman.

12/27/2007 11:27:01 AM

good point

12/27/2007 11:30:22 AM

12/27/2007 1:08:53 PM

drood this is the reason you suck so bad...i want you to know this sincerely

12/27/2007 1:09:32 PM

i love you sincerely

12/27/2007 1:10:17 PM

yo hook me up with that aea broad...she is cute...i think she is somewhat tall but not too tall...and shes catholic

12/27/2007 1:11:41 PM

I dunno if that would be possible after that drunken thread you made about her a few weeks ago

she's smart, so I'm sure she can decide who she dates without my help, but I wont put in any bad words for you

12/27/2007 1:15:56 PM

thanks kind sir...i think its hot when she talks about going to the gym...means she is physically active...i like that she graduated in 2.5 years also...i give her a 9/10

12/27/2007 1:21:38 PM

yes she is smart and in good shape

and is fun to be around


but she does smell like old cheese

12/27/2007 1:22:51 PM

does she follow politics? i think she is a republican so it would be fun to discuss politics with her if she is political

12/27/2007 1:27:22 PM

ouch

12/27/2007 1:27:31 PM

you know that you dont really want to discuss politics with her

12/27/2007 1:30:07 PM

is that one of those things like "i should be intimidated by her intelligence" or one of those "you dont want to discuss politics, you just want to do her"

i tell you something else...i bet she would be fun to walk with at lake johnson

and i tell you another thing...i bet she would open up my horizons as far as meals go

12/27/2007 1:31:46 PM

getting back on topic...



apparantly many of her supporters tried to storm the hospital after her death was announced in an attempt to see her body. there are also ppl blaming the president for her death. i hate seeing things like this happen around the world

12/27/2007 1:33:33 PM

me too

i also think she aged very well...she didnt really that old to me

george bush hates black people Muslims

12/29/2007 6:04:59 PM

i still think its great that women can be elected as leaders even in islamic countries, but we havent even had a woman come remotely close to becoming president before (& yes i know hillary is the supposed frontrunner for the dem nomination)

12/29/2007 7:14:21 PM

i like how germany has a woman president

12/29/2007 7:15:58 PM
