Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton called for an independent, international investigation into the death of one million Iraqis — perhaps by the United Nations — saying Friday there was "no reason to trust the U.S. government."

Yes – I misquoted that bit of hypocrisy. It was originally aimed at Pakistan. But there is more of her lunacy:
[W]e need to help them understand what is in their interest and that of course includes President Musharraf.
Sure, we’ll tell these niggers ….
There are lots of ideas out there who and what killed Bhutto.
Bush and Musharraf say Al-Qaida.
Neocon Eli Lake spins this:
The attack yesterday at Rawalpindi bore the hallmarks of a sophisticated military operation. At first, Bhutto’s rally was hit by a suicide bomb that turned out to be a decoy. According to press reports and a situation report of the incident relayed to The New York Sun by an American intelligence officer, Bhutto’s armored limousine was shot by multiple snipers whose armor-piercing bullets penetrated the vehicle, hitting the former premier five times in the head, chest, and neck.
Barnett Rubin thinks Pakistani Taliban and al-Qaeda, but the Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud denies any involvement.
Someone speculates about a drug related hit-squad tasked by a former Pakistani General.
Bhutto’s party folks are implicating Musharraf.
Tomorrow a letter from Bhutto herself will be read and it is expected that it will put the blame on Musharraf too (she was also a prophet?).
Officially she died from the bomb blast
that blew her against a handle of her cars sun roof, fracturing her skull. According to the pictures, that is at least a possiblity. But does it matter?
Bhutto orchestrated the killing of her own brother. She supported the Taliban. She stole about $1.5 billion from her people.
Even without the recent political maneuverings there were plenty of motives to kill her and even more possible perpetrators. We will never really know who ordered this.
Any further investigation would be a political football and
abused to serve this or that policy purpose (think Hariri in Beirut).
This is one of these political assassination that will never be solved in a way that satisfies all doubters. It will forever spin myriads of conspiracy theories (think Kennedy in Dallas).
So what do you think: Did China do it? How was India involved?
