  BREAKING NEWS
  
  ALI ASIF ARZARI ELECTED PRESIDENT
  
  Assasinated former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's widow, Ali Asif Arzari has just been electe the country's next Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. He will succeed Pervez Musharaf, who resigned office amidst trailing political blunders and a united opposition fron against the man who 'ran away' from a surging vote of no confidence against him. And again the powerful Bhutto name takes centre stage in the ever volatile Pakistani political landscape. Even former Prime Minister Sharrif Nawaz's attempt at bogging down Arzari's ascend to the top office didnt nothing at stopping this man who, arranged marriage to Asif Zardari in 1987 surprised many people. Their marriage endured separation due to Asif's imprisonment and separation due to Benazir's politics. Their marriage ended when Benazir was assassinated on December 27, 2007. In Pakistan, there is more respect given to married women than to single women. Additionally, a single woman would not be allowed to be head of state. This reality helped Benazir make the decision to agree to an arranged marriage. After their arranged marriage was announced on July 29, 1987, Asif sent Benazir roses every day and gave her a heartshaped ring of diamonds and sapphires. Benazir had met Asif five days before the public announcement of their planned winter wedding. On December 8, 1987, at the Clifton Palace garden in Karachi, Pakistan, Benazir and Asif had an almost traditional Pakistani wedding. Concerned about how some of the Pakistani wedding traditions were extravagant and difficult for poor families, Benazir broke with tradition by trying to keep their wedding simple. She eliminated the dowry, had only two shalwar kameez instead of the traditional nearly 51 dresses and wore only one layer of jewelry. Benazir wore a white silk tunic with gold-embroidery. Asif wore a turban and a cream-colored tunic. Bhutto / Zardari Wedding Photo Asif and Benazir and their families had several days of celebration. The couple said "yes" three times, and at their wedding ceremony Benazir and Asif looked into a mirror together so they could see themselves as a married couple for the first time. Sugar was ground over their heads so their lives would be sweet. Although their wedding ceremony was small and private, in the streets after their wedding there were 100,000 political supporters dancing, singing, firing guns in the air, and enjoying fireworks. Asif and Benazir have a son and two daughters. On love and marriage, Benazir was once quoted as saying, 'I was always told by my elders that love comes after a marriage. In an arranged marriage, there is a mental commitment. You know that you are marrying somebody and he is going to be a part of your life forever. It's a very strange kind of mental journey, which I have not read about or heard about, but feel my own self experiencing."And on keeping her own name, she quipped," Benazir Bhutto doesn't cease to exist the moment she marries; She's the same person. I am keeping my own name."

• Muamar Gaddafi is BACK!!!!

  Posted: September 6, 2008, 1:53 pm by the godfather

  Gaddafi turns foes into friends .....THE RETURN OF MUAMMAR GADDAFI
  Don't just dismiss Muamar Gaddafi just yet folks! As much as you want to rubbish this so called terrorist, the man just has style. And it seems he has an agenda for himself and his country for the long term.
  For a better part of my life, I have come to be taught that Libya was the birth place of terrorism, long before Osama became branded the father of terrorism. Libya had been there and done their terrorist thing long before Osama. Kenya under Moi, kicked them out during the early 80's. America bombed them and killed them and abused them. Sanctions we imposed left right and centre, a situation that nearly brought Tripoli to a halt.
  Then suddenly we start hearing how is making bosom buddies with East African leaders. He one day jets into Uganda one fine 2007 day to officially inaugurate a mosque (in a christian dominated country) in honor of him. And in what raises eyebrows, Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki is one of the invited guests at the opening ceremony of the mosque.
  We are later to be told that Gaddafi had lent Kibaki money to bail him out of a gruelling election and in return, Kibaki would allow Libya privileged business dealing status for its businessmen in Kenya. And until recently in Kenya when secret details of the selling of the multi million dollar 5 star Grand Regency Hotel gem to the Libyan emerged, than did Gaddafi's name pop up. The deal smacked economic and political mischief, that caused severe ripples in Kenya climaxing with that country Parliament passing a vote of no confidence in the Minister for Finance, Hon. Amos Kimunya, and Kibaki blue-eyed boy, who later that week disgracefully resigned!
  Other reports disclose Gaddafi's interests in expanding Libyan businesses in the petroleum, mining, tourism and hotels all over the African continent.
  Then the shocker! Gaddafi playing host to Condolezza Rice in Tripoli after 55 years of bad blood between these two. And when Rice land in Tripoli, she is met at the airport, NOT Gaddafi himself, NOR Libya's Foreign Affairs Minister, NOR the Deputy Minister for Foreign affairs by a junior staffer at the Foreign Ministry, a Director for American Affairs in the Libyan Foreign Office....
  Gaddafi, is back, people, and we are in for more political, antics. This man is squeezing the b***s of once touted big boys and they are grovelling and drooling to kiss is a**e!

  Condy Rice drops in on Libra with Roses.....
  From Terrorist to Darling??????
  
  These Americans just never cease to amaze me! 55 years of branding Muamar Gaddafi's Tripoli as Terrorists and calling Gaddafi himself 'a mad dog", Condolezza Rice, whose job we all know so well, yesterday drops in to visit, cuddle and kiss, and buy some barbie dolls to a former terrorist! How sick....
  Condy Rice, President Bush's pet was yesterday dispatched to Tripoli Libya with all the sweetest words you would imagine. Condy was quoted on CNN as saying, something that went like "... just touching down on the Tripoli soil just brought the nicest feeling and it just struck me how 55 years was such a long time...." !!!!!!!!!!!! Oh My God......
  America, that land of democracy (or is it DemoCRAZY) just doesn't wake up one fine morning and start cuddling former bitter rivals just like that.....I put it to you, confidently, that America is up to some mischief, and sadly, John McCain, if he manages to win the biggest prize on the planet, will be the final and biggest beneficiary. I stand to be corrected!
  Psssst, psssssst.....Don't be surprised to see a CRAZY headline that reads like this: US BACKS OSAMA FOR AFGHANISTAN PRESIDENCY.....
