Bush bungles, fumbles and mumbles his way
through Middle East tour, pissing off Egyptians, kissing up to Israel,
pressuring Palestine, sucking up to Arab Dictators, threatening Iran,
manipulating Pakistan, showered with Diamonds and Rubies, and cozy with
Condi.... what's next?

Who killed Bhutto?
Did the U.S. have a hand in engineering the outcome? Were there two,
unrelated attacks, one an ISI hit, the other a suicide
bomber? Did the well dressed-man in the Ray Ban Sunglasses know that the
guy behind him was about to detonate? Inside the PPP, the emerging
consensus is yes and no, there were two men, and no, the mystery man was not
working in concert with the bomber. Update: Reports indicate that
2 handguns were found at the scene & Scotland Yard arrives.

KENYA:
Strange twist of fate, South African
press reports in an interview that Presidential challenger Odinga is a
first cousin to US Presidential candidate Barack Obama. His intervention
may well have help buy time, which stemmed protests, which quelled
violence. Maybe not.

"Former White House Press Secretary
Scott McClellan was one of the key figures
in the Bush administration’s efforts to
respond publicly to the investigation into
the Plame leak. He spoke for the White House
and he was the filter through which the
public learned about which officials were
and were not involved in the leak. Standing
in front of the White House Seal, McClellan
famously denied any White House involvement
in the leak, “If anyone in this
administration was involved in it, they
would no longer be in this administration.”
We need to launch an
immediate investigation to determine the
facts of this case, the extent of any cover
up and determine what the President knew and
when he knew it. If in fact the President of
the United of States knowingly instructed
his chief spokesman to mislead the American
people, there can be no more fundamental
betrayal of the public trust."
