Jihadists who fight for religion can just as soon turn on Lesbians-and-Gays, Baptists and Iglesia-ni-Kristo as it can on the local-Chinese and Tisoy-moneyed families.<BR/> If religion were to rule, there will be no democracy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-64689896998602111192007-12-31T03:39:00.000+08:002007-12-31T03:39:00.000+08:00Typical 3rd World politics.

All her posturing for US support is just like our very own Gloria, who by the way is DJBs' newly discovered or perhaps now realized idol.<BR/><BR/>A friend commented: why doesn't Gloria get the same medication? Another replied, she is too short to hit! Well I suppose being short (in more ways than one) has its advantages.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-88782411791839763772007-12-29T13:45:00.000+08:002007-12-29T13:45:00.000+08:00Also, consider the following sources from the U.S....Also, consider the following sources from the U.S. government itself:<BR/><BR/>http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB97/index.htm<BR/><BR/>http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB227/index.htm<BR/><BR/>http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB97/index4.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-88167303665282459302007-12-29T07:20:00.000+08:002007-12-29T07:20:00.000+08:00The assassination is having an immediate effect on...<I>The assassination is having an immediate effect on US electoral politics going into the crucial primary season.</I><BR/><BR/>Though its effect on the primaries would not be considered very material. Right now, the one first-tier candidate that has gained somewhat because of his wide experience in national security and foreign relations has been Sen. John McCain.<BR/><BR/>When asked all the other candidates have not really given any answer that would enhance their candidacies. One even faltered blaming the current administration for the assasination, and mind you he belongs to the same party.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, predictably the BDS-afflicted fringe blogs had the same characterization.<BR/><BR/>I suppose to be a Bhutto in Pakistan is to be assured of a short life. Start with her father - hanged. Brothers killed. And now Benazir. Next? the husband maybe, he had anyway been incarcerated for many long years without any proved charges against him.Amadeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00040096079637569742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-18876604525782526332007-12-28T23:58:00.000+08:002007-12-28T23:58:00.000+08:00strangely enough, on the strength of what some of ...<I>strangely enough, on the strength of what some of our local "jihadists" might praise as "People Power" while managing to denigrate Democracy itself.</I><BR/><BR/>your comment comparing the anti-arroyo opposition to the "jihadists" sounds a little batty. and calling pakistan a "democracy" is silly.<BR/><BR/>without the jihadists in 86, the US would still be supporting marcos vs the commies.john marzanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08036820667908976630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-90545634175538569322007-12-28T21:37:00.000+08:002007-12-28T21:37:00.000+08:00Here are some more web log entries to consider:htt...Here are some more web log entries to consider:<BR/><BR/>http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article3099884.ece<BR/><BR/>We should also recall connections between Musharraf as well as the ISI and the U.S., as well as the third paragraph in the Belmont entry, not to mention connections between the Taliban and the ISI.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-5579081390776632652007-12-28T20:46:00.000+08:002007-12-28T20:46:00.000+08:00...or it could be the most successful AQ terrorist......or it could be the most successful AQ terrorist attack since the Golden Mosque bombing in Iraq last year which sparked a civil war.john marzanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08036820667908976630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-37951441696421750342007-12-28T20:11:00.000+08:002007-12-28T20:11:00.000+08:00John,there's something almost Kennedyesque about t...John,<BR/>there's something almost Kennedyesque about this one...Deany Bocobohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443168826029321831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-27079133011924632282007-12-28T17:03:00.000+08:002007-12-28T17:03:00.000+08:00i guess al queda has "simplified" the choice for p...i guess al queda has "simplified" the choice for pakistan. it's now either the dictator musharraf, or the islamist, sharia lovin nawaz sharif. pick your poison.<BR/><BR/>there's no reason why elections won't push thru at this point from AQ's POV.john marzanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08036820667908976630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14974164.post-77687057421360736912007-12-28T16:49:00.000+08:002007-12-28T16:49:00.000+08:00strangely enough, on the strength of what some of ...<I>strangely enough, on the strength of what some of our local "jihadists" might praise as "People Power" while managing to denigrate Democracy itself.</I><BR/><BR/>bhutto vs musharraf is kinda like cory vs marcos, except that the so called pakistan elections in january might end up resulting like the so called election in "democratic" russia.<BR/><BR/>tito dean, people power is good, except when it is not. do ya really want pakistanis to "people power" when 46% of them approve of Osama bin laden. baka ma-control pa ng al queda ang nuclear pakistan.john marzanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08036820667908976630noreply@blogger.com
