		<description>Clinton compares the putative &lt;i&gt;investigation&lt;/i&gt; of the Bhutto assassination to the Hariri investigation.  She doesn't accuse Musharraf of involvement--just like her campaign &lt;a href="http://www.dinocrat.com/archives/2007/12/14/desperate-is-as-desperate-does/" rel="nofollow"&gt;didn't&lt;/a&gt; accuse Obama of cocaine use.

IMO the framing of the video is intended to bring the Oval Office subliminally to mind: Presidential Hillary in sober black, with the American flag in the background.  

Like it or not, Musharraf is our ally; with all his deliberate and intrinsic deficiencies, he is in a dangerous position.  My &lt;a href="http://www.dinocrat.com/archives/2007/12/29/the-case-for-energy-alternatives-and-other-matters/#comment-302257" rel="nofollow"&gt;recent&lt;/a&gt; impression of Hillary was&lt;blockquote&gt;Huck and Hill have mean streaks, but I fear they’d use them against their domestic opponents, and meanwhile placate foreign enemies.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Maybe I didn't do her justice.  She seems entirely willing to use her mean streak against our besieged allies. 

&lt;a&gt;Peggy Noonan&lt;/a&gt; warns:&lt;blockquote&gt;...My central problem is that the next American president will very likely face another big bad thing, a terrible day, or days, and in that time it will be crucial--crucial--that our nation be led by a man or woman who can be, at least for the moment and at least in general, trusted. Mrs. Clinton is the most dramatically polarizing, the most instinctively distrusted, political figure of my lifetime. Yes, I include Nixon. Would she be able to speak the nation through the trauma? I do not think so. And if I am right, that simple fact would do as much damage to America as the terrible thing itself.&lt;/blockquote&gt;I am coming to agree.  I'd been resigned to an unwelcome but competent Clinton presidency, but, as Hillary campaigns, my impression is that her first and overriding reaction to a crisis would be to use it to expand her power.</description>

		<description>Calling for an external investigation of the assassination seems premature, however much mistrust I may feel of President Musharraf. Mrs. Bhutto was targeted many times over the years, by a number of enemies.</description>
