What is the point of "diplomatic protests" and "expressions of concern", following the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, if just a few days after her body has been buried, Pakistan is rewarded by the USA with a huge sale of state of the art Fighter Planes?
"LOCKHEED Martin Corp (LMT.N) was awarded a $US498.2 million ($569.53 million) contract to supply F-16 aircraft to Pakistan, as Pakistani officials mulled whether to go ahead with a January 8 election after the assassination of opposition leader Benazir Bhutto."

"The United States strongly condemns this cowardly act by murderous extremists who are trying to undermine Pakistan's democracy," President Bush said in a brief statement at his Crawford, Tex., ranch.
Yeah, right.
Cheap words, George, not worth anything, when you follow it up with a huge arms contract.
Bush is a f...ing hypocrite. But we probably knew that, before.
