more suspicious timing

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

We have already discussed the suspicious timing of Boris Yeltsen's
heart surgery and Benazir Bhutto's removal from power in Pakistan.  I
found this comment in the soc.culture.pakistan.politics newsgroup.  It
seems that Pakistanis are also concerned about the timing of this
event relative to the presidential elections here in the US.

"I just feel like something good is about to happen..."
(But it won't be so good if you're not ready!)

This is the seedy part: why on the eve of US elections?
