I'm not sure where to begin with the stupidity of that statement. Maybe with the "government" label. To be a government, they would actually have to have power over a country. Al-queda hasn't had control over afghanistan for a long time now. Actually, I'm not even going to bother continuing this explanation, that statement was just too retarded to waste any more time on.

I'll get on to the issue of the thread and add in a few points. The situation in pakistan will just get worse and worse over the next few weeks, and it's pretty much impossible to determine what will happen. The elections going on as planned could do something to diffuse the situation, although I have a feeling that it would end up causing more violence and unrest. There seems to be a recurring theme with highly disputed elections in countries which have hundreds of years of history ruled by dictatorial regimes. There's already too much unrest to hope for an entirely peacefull elections, and I can't help but expect that whoever did win would end up facing riots and massive unrest as soon as the results were announced.

On to the identity of Bhutto's murderers. The most common opinion seems to be that al-queda was responsible, and there have been reported transcripts of audio tapes where prominent al queda leaders praise each other for her murder, however, the tapes havent been released, and there is as yet no reliable hard evidence to support the claims that they are responsible.
