"The Bush administration should announce to the waiting world that the United States cannot be charged with the responsibility for maintaining order in Pakistan, and does not accept responsibility for the assassination of Benazir Bhutto."
-William F. Buckley
12/29/07
Benazir Bhutto was encouraged by Bush administration officials to go to Pakistan and attempt to negotiate with Musharraf on, at the least, a power-sharing arrangement for the country.
She went; she died.
It has been reported that Bhutto representatives failed to persuade the Bush administration to provide extra security for her in Pakistan.
Under those circumstances, how can the U.S. not accept some responsibility for the death of Bhutto?
