December 29, 2007 (LPAC)-- London's Financial Times continues to play out the British scenario for chaos in South Asia - which Lyndon LaRouche identified as the British intention behind the assassination of Benazir Bhutto. The FT announces in a front page story today, that the Bhutto assassination has raised fresh anxieties about the security of Pakistan's nuclear arsenal. They quote U.S. Senator Joe Biden recently saying that the U.S.'s greatest nightmare would be "the world's second-largest Muslim nation becoming a failed state in fundamentalist hands with an arsenal of nuclear weapons." The FT also claims that anger over Bhutto's death could take on an ethnic dimension, pitting Sindhi nationalists against the dominant Punjabi establishment "and that civil conflict could threaten military command structures." Indian sources have confirmed to EIR that this is nothing but "rubbish," and that Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party has extensive support in both Sindh province and among Punjabis.

Not surprisingly, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton is playing the British game to the hilt. In an interview on Rupert Murdoch's Fox News, Bolton posited a civil war scenario during which a small group of Islamicist radicals take control of the military. "A subsidiary threat," he said, "is that you lose command and control over even some of the nuclear weapons and they get lost to Al Qaeda." Lyndon LaRouche commented that the real threat "is that someone might listen to this piece of shit."
