She can't say she wasn't warned, silly moo, RIP.

Should have heeded advice and kept her head down a bit more.

Would have done more good.

She did go walkabout on the railway for sure,but I don't agree entirely with Choccydog...as I cannot imagine who could possibly dispense the correct advice given the mogre that this whole situ was... A formidible personality
I believe she was driven by the attraction of power.....Also think this may epitomise SYB's current flavour of the month .....elektra complex.....




Only one winner here though..OBL.

I don't think the General is any friend of OBL..... any more than he is of democracy...

Biggest loser is the Pakistani people - despite a growing economy they fail again and again to mirror the success of India, for no logical reason.

Agree the biggest losers are the Pakistani people-never have so few taken the future from so many!

I don't think the Gen. is a friend of either either.... it doesn't stop AQ moving closer to obtaining a firm grip on areas of Pakistan as they seek out their new Afghanistan......just my thoughts.

The NWFP & tribal regions have always been a problem. Me, I would do what the Indians did and give the people IVF, Coca Cola and lots of Golden Arches. Get them thinking like cpatalists, goddammit...
