 Bhutto's Death Poses Dilemma for USCategory: Politics - Posted by: KingM on Dec 27th, 2007The Bush administration scrambled Thursday with the implications of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's assassination after investing significant diplomatic capital in promoting reconciliation between her and President Pervez Musharraf. ...While awaiting formal confirmation of Bhutto's death in an attack on an election rally, U.S. officials -- who had labored to promote stability in the nuclear-armed country that has been an anti-terrorism ally -- huddled to assess the impact of Bhutto's death just two weeks before legislative elections in the turbulent nation in which her party was expected to do well. "Certainly, we condemn the attack on this rally," said deputy State Department spokesman Tom Casey. "It demonstrates that there are still those in Pakistan who want to subvert reconciliation and efforts to advance democracy." His statement was echoed by White House spokesman Scott Stanzel, who is with President Bush at Bush's Texas ranch. |
