Perv sez al-Qaeda’s trying to kill him | |||
2004-01-23 | |||
President Pervez Musharraf said on Thursday that Pakistan was investigating a "definite possibility" that al Qaeda ordered or carried out two attempts to assassinate him last month. Musharraf survived two attempts on his life in the space of two weeks last month. The second, on December 25, killed 15 people and wounded 45. "We have unearthed a lot. We have in fact netted all the people directly involved in the action but we are trying to see who was behind them, the real links, as they say," Musharraf told reporters at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

#4 NotMikeMoore - I realize the Left has to conclude that those who support the right are basically dumb but the evidence is directly to the contrary and that the intelligent are somewhere between generally and over-whelmingly right wing. A casual stroll through the blogosphere clearly demonstrates this. Academic studies are few and far between, but the subject is political dynamite in Left dominated academia. And note that academics are noticeable by their general absence from the blogosphere. All the high traffic sites are written by ordinary people. My final argument is that I have yet to find a left-wing site that is even remotely funny, yet there are many right wing sites that are often hilarious. Rantburg being a case in point. And there are solid academic studies that show being funny is strongly correlated with intelligence. So how do you react to the contention that being intelligent and being right wing are more or less synonomous? |
