Karen Hughes Has Lost It

[Nbadan]

Karen Hughes: "Our constitution cites 'one nation under God'."

Yep, she really said that in response to a question an Egyptian opposition leader asked on her tour.

:lol

Money quote time from the article:


"It is stunning to the extent Hughes is helping bin Laden," says Robert Pape, a University of Chicago political scientist who has conducted extensive research into the motives of suicide terrorists and is the author of Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism. "If you set out to help bin Laden," he says, "you could not have done it better than Hughes."

"Many people around the world do not understand the important role that faith plays in Americans' lives," she said. When an Egyptian opposition leader inquired why Mr Bush mentions God in his speeches, Hughes asked him whether he was aware that "previous American presidents have also cited God, and that our constitution cites 'one nation under God'."

"Well, never mind," he said.

Silly question, silly answer.

Money quote time from the article:

Ah, Dan did she misquote anything? Don't the folks over they refer to God also? Like "God willing". Guess that is okay. Bye the way are you aware that we all worship the same God in our religions.

So you agree that our Constitution says 'One Nation Under God'?

:lol

No it doesn't say that. But what she did say was correct, but she did mis-speak when she said that the "constitution says.....".

Computer messed up and tried to post same thing twice, deleted second posting...

[boutons]

"she did "mis-speak" "

For a top diplomat on a critical mission into enemy territory, such "mis-speaking" about God and what our Constitution says are unacceptable, amateurish, naive, which is exactly what this hick from Texas is, along with her dubya-in-chief.

She should be stoned to death.

It's not the first time Karen Hughes has fucked up on this trip. Yesterday she was giving a speech before Saudi women portraying the Western world's perception of them a victims because they couldn't vote, couldn't talk to men, and what not...

Well, one Saudi woman finally got up and said something to the effect that contrary to our beliefs, Saudi women are generally happy. All the women in the audience stood and cheered.

Pape's research debunks the view that suicide terrorism is the natural byproduct of Islamic fundamentalism or some "Islamo-fascist" ideological strain, independent of certain highly specific circumstances.

"Of the key conditions that lead to suicide terrorism in particular, there first must be the presence of foreign combat forces on the territory that the terrorists prize. The second condition is a religious difference between the combat forces and the local community. The religious difference matters in that it enables terrorist leaders to paint foreign forces as being driven by religious goals.

"If you read Osama's speeches, they begin with descriptions of the US occupation of the Arabian peninsula driven by our religious goals and that it is our religious purpose that must be confronted. That argument is incredibly powerful, not only to religious Muslims but also secular Muslims. Everything Hughes says makes their case."

Anybody remember what Bush said when he was talking about attacking terrorists after 9-11?

[RandomGuy]

"This crusade, this war on terrorism is going to take a while."
-- George W. Bush, using a loaded term which recalls the Christians' Medieval wars against Muslims in the so-called Holy Land, after stepping off the presidential helicopter on Sunday, September 16, 2001, quoted from Jonathan Lyons, "Bush enters Mideast's rhetorical minefield " (Reuters: September 21, 2001). Bush later apologized for this remark.

[RandomGuy]

"I do remain confident in Linda. She'll make a fine labor secretary. From what I've read in the press accounts, she's perfectly qualified."
-- George W. Bush, Austin, Texas, January 8, 2001, quoted from Jacob Weinberg, "The Complete Bushisms"

I'd just like to be stoned. :smokin

Another slip of the tongue.

People are tired of the US telling them what to do, even if it is the right thing to do. This seems more like a show for the hard-core supporters than actually getting anything accomplished.
