Musharraf bodyguards dead:some guys have all the luck
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article2614940.ece

A helicopter has crashed while escorting the Pakistani President on a visit to Kashmir today, killing two of his bodyguards and injuring his chief spokesman.

General Pervez Musharraf routinely travels with a number of helicopters as decoys to thwart assassination attempts, and was not aboard the stricken aircraft, which was carrying a dozen people when it made a crash landing in the mountainous region.

Witnesses reported however hearing a bang while the helicopter was still airborne, and watching the pilot nursing his craft over a village at low altitude, trailing smoke, before coming down in a field.

1. If this guy goes down, we're in deep trouble.
A nation of radical Muslims probably hiding Bin Laden with access to the bomb.

2. Population: 156,770,000. How big of an occupying army would you need to
pacify this country?

3. He's going down
They're planning to replace him with a compromised Benazir Bhutto.
