PAKISTAN'S COALITON OF APPEASERS SELECTS THE CORRUPT BHUTTO WIDOWER TO BECOME PRESIDENT

NYTIMES:

The senior party in Pakistan’s governing coalition on Friday nominated Asif Ali Zardari, widower of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, as its candidate in elections for president, now set for Sept. 6.

The Election Commission on Friday set Sept. 6 as the date lawmakers will elect a new president, after the resignation earlier this week of President Pervez Musharraf.

Hours later, members of the Pakistan Peoples Party said that Mr. Zardari, 53, who is a leader of the party, would be their candidate.

• ZARDARI'S VAST CORRUPTION IS WHY HIS WIFE - THE LATE BENAZIR BHUTO - HAD TO RESIGN AS PM.

• THE USA SHOULD ACCEPT THIS AND DECIDE TO DISREGARD THE "STABILITY" PF PAKISTAN'S "DEMOCRACY" AND ATTACK AL QAEDA & THE TALIBAN WITHIN PAKISTAN AT WILL -- AND, THAT IF THERE ARE, AS A RESULT, DESTABILIZING REPERCUSSIONS THAT OUR ALLIES IN THE PAKISTANI ARMY WILL STAGE A COUP.
