WWD - BENAZIR BHUTTO PRIME MINISTER OF PAKISTAN

How did BB become Pakistan's first woman Prime Minister?











DISCLAIMER PLEASE READ!: Benazir Bhutto... The first woman in history elected prime minister of a Muslim country...not once but twice! A woman who was the one true hope for her country of Pakistan...and the rest of the world. The Taliban and other extremists were so afraid of this icon and political genius...they did the unthinkable...On December.27.2007 extremists carried out a terrorist attack and assassination on Benazir Bhutto the first woman freely elected Prime Minister by the public of a Muslim country was killed, December.27.2007. It is now December.24.2008, the anniversary of this tragedy is near and all of us that supported and cared about Benazir are still sad and still from time too time find it hard too believe that she's gone. This is another one of my tributes too Benazir...this one was the hardest too make...not only because I had a hard time getting the right formats lol...but that this is one of my two tributes too Benazir too mark and remember her tragic death. The song is by a group called: The Cult. The song is called: Painted on my heart. Normally I use songs that mostly everyone enjoys but...I thought this song was appropriate...if you listen too the lyrics it really fits...like its not a bad song (I wouldn't have used it if it was) its just its a little more wild than what I normally use lol. I Hope you enjoy! Thank so all so much for watching, and a very special thanks too:

i love annanicole for using this song in one of her vids and cos of that it gave me the idea too use it in mine!

Also a special thanks too HafsaKhawaja who has said some amazing things about Benazir and has made some very nice and touching comments on my tributes and has made some very nice tributes too Benazir themselfs! And too all my subscribers!!! Benazir Bhutto 1953 - 2007 May you rest in peace. No copyright infringement is intended.

Press conference on 31st October at Bilawal house Karachi where due to media boycott PPP leaders are clearly seen tense.  http://www.booserver.com/projects.php...

January 2008  --  As a young woman, Benazir Bhutto dreamed of throwing the best parties and living in London. But she took on the mantle of political leadership, suffering years of imprisonment, before becoming the Muslim world's first female leader. Touted as a symbol of modernity and democracy, her name became synonymous with corruption and bad governance. In this unique film, Bhutto speaks frankly about the paradoxes of her life. Mixing private archive with insights from friends and family, this is the definitive documentary on the Bhutto dynasty.



Screaming Benazir Bhutto's name, over a million people crowd through the streets to welcome her back to Pakistan. It's 1987. After years of exile in England, Bhutto has returned to Lahore to claim her political legacy and oust a hated dictator. Intelligent, charismatic and resilient, much is expected from Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's striking young heir.


Fast forward ten years. Twice elected Prime Minister, twice ousted from power amidst a wave of corruption charges, Bhutto contemplates her legacy from the safety of exile in Dubai. "There are things I would like to have done differently", she reflects. "Mistakes that were made". Her father's former advisor, Raja Anwar, is more critical. "She had a very, very weak administration both times when she was in government", he states. "She had no control over her ministers."


Born into one of the most affluent and powerful families of Pakistan, Bhutto had a privileged upbringing. "My family traced its roots back to the Arab conquest in 712". At the time of India's partition, her family presided over lands the size of Luxembourg. When she was a young girl, her father, Zulfikar, founded the Pakistan People's Party (PPP), becoming President and Prime Minister.

Benazir's school friend, Narmeen, remembers her being the class clown. "She was always trying to do something funny in class", she recalls. "I remember her having the stink bombs, squeaky cushions and things like that". Memorably, Bhutto once turned up for class wearing "a paper dress".

Senator/VP Elect Joseph Biden's ISI connection and Pakistan military aid


Biden cosponsored the Enhanced Participation with Pakistan Act of 2008, which would triple
U.S. non-military aid to Pakistan, granting $7.5 billion over five years in assistance for development projects. The bill passed unanimously in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in July 2008, but has not yet reached a vote in the Senate as a whole. In November 2007,Senator Joseph Biden said as president, he would increase humanitarian aid to Pakistan to $1.5 billion a year, triple what it is now (NPR). He advocates tying non-security aid to Pakistan to progress in developing democratic institutions and meeting good-governance norms. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.... He met with an ISI chief who wired money to alleged 9/11 highjackers(refer back to Mrs.Bhutto's interview with David frost about suspects)

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/ar... What about the oil pipeline http://www.countercurrents.org/chin30...


Bhutto's one mistake: she vehemently supported the pipeline proposed by Argentinian oil company Bridas, and opposed the pipeline by Unocal (favored by the US). This contributed to her ouster in 1996, and the return of Nawaz Sharif to power. As noted by Rashid:  "After the dismissal of the Bhutto government in 1996, the newly elected Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, his oil minister Chaudry Nisar Ali Khan, the army and the ISI fully backed Unocal. Pakistan wanted more direct US support for the Taliban and urged Unocal to start construction quickly in order to legitimize the Taliban. Basically the USA and Unocal accepted the ISI's analysis and aims---that a Taliban victory in Afghanistan would make Unocal's job much easier and quicken US recognition."  Category: Nonprofits & Activism
