Indonesians challenge U.S. envoy in lively exchange

By Tomi Soetjipto

JAKARTA (Reuters) - U.S. goodwill envoy Karen Hughes got a earful from a group of mostly female Indonesian Muslim students on Friday, who expressed anger at the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and attacked Washington's foreign policies.

Tasked by U.S. President George W. Bush to polish America's image overseas, the undersecretary of state for public diplomacy is in Jakarta to meet leading Muslim clerics and students during a tour of the world's most populous Muslim nation.

"Why does America always act as if they were the police of the world?," Barikatul Hikmah, a 20-year-old student at the Syarif Hidayatullah University asked Hughes.

Lailatul Qadar, a petite 19-year-old student wearing colourful headscarves, added: "It's Bush in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and maybe it's going to be in Indonesia, I don't know. Who's the terrorist? Bush or us?"

1. That was a rhetorical question, I presume.

In case it wasn't; bush.

[NVMojo]

2. I vote Bush as the terrorist, too.

[slybacon9]

3. Bush

[countryjake]

4. Hee hee! Crash course in Diplomacy 101 for old Karen!

I love it! Bet she cancels the rest of her "tour" once this news of the burning of those Taliban soldiers gets full accounting.

[pinniped]

5. These nutcases are finding it's harder to prescreen citizens...

in other countries.

Just fire the dumbass, no one is buying the crap spewing out of her piehole and she's wasting our tax dollars.

[Clark2008]

24. That's because there aren't enough pro-Bush citizens

in other countries to fill a phone booth.

:rofl:

[Oversea Visitor]

6. And that all my friends in DU

is the sad reality of the opinion of the people outside of US.

WHO IS THE TERRORIST ?

Whereas US was once a fine and great country....
Whereas US was once a country the world look up too....
Whereas there once was an Americans dream....

THE WINTER IS COMING

Whereas people are unique individual....
Whereas people will always disagreed....

AND THE COST OF HEATING WILL RISE 30%

AMERICA TODAY
SENATE SESSION....
Amendments introduce to increase funding for heating by 3.1 billion for the poor the needy and the elderly.

Amendments introduce by REED base on
1) 2 billion allocated last winter wasn't enough
2) Energy cost has risen by 30%
3) Lots of people will have to go without heating this winter.

Reed asked for a vote
Waiver was turn down
Point of Order call
Amendments kill

WITNESS THIS ALL ON C SPAN

Who cry when winter come
Who cry when the body turn cold
Who will cry for the little one
Who will mourn the passing from a bitter cold

SHOULD THE LIFE OF A CITIZEN OF USA BE POLITICIZES?

I cried for America today
I fear for America today
I am terrorized by America today

When a country will gladly spend and defend 200 billion for an illegal war.
But no willing to spend 3.1 billion more to help his own less fortunate citizens through a coming winter
When your elected representative can act like kings
And treat the one who voted less than a human being
When they feel so secure that they can fuck the people
IT IS ALREADY TOO LATE?????

[countryjake]

8. Well said!

I agree heartily with your sentiment! But it is not too late for any of us...that cold coming this winter will be touching the hearts of many who've suffered a long time and while I'm afraid lots of Americans will be dying from it, those who survive are gonna be hoppin' mad! Our home heating oil and propane gas prices are predicted to go up almost 70%...this is gonna hit where Americans don't like to be hurt, their pocketbooks! I predict that collective "BRRR" you'll be hearing might just turn into a mighty roar before long!

[Oversea Visitor]

9. You just cant stand and keep quiet

Many will suffer badly
THIS DO NOT NEED TO HAPPEN

[leftchick]

14. 400 billion

but who is counting? Well said OV! I weep for the country I used to call home.

:cry:

[Journeyman]

15. The Revolution of '76 was one of the few. . .

carried out by people with a full stomach. The hardships you list may be the necessary catalyst to spur action in '06.

[oasis]

7. If Karen gets enough responses such as this maybe it will begin to sink

in. Hughes is a haughty, condescending snot. I've seen her in action, up close and personal.

[Skidmore]

10. If the Dems don't pay attention to this and run on experience

and who is best suited to do a job, then they deserve to lose.

"Hughes is a close confidante and image-shaper of Bush with no previous experience in foreign diplomacy other than accompanying him abroad during trips in the first years of his presidency."

Notice most articles now refer to * people's lack of experience.

[charlie]

12. A Karen Hughes dispatch from abroad

in her own words...

"The Prime Minister himself experience was participated in an American Exchange program. And he feels very strongly that those people to people exchanges. We met with this morning with some Alumni of those people to people exchanges and what I’ve heard here in Egypt is how important that people to people, that person to person eye to eye contact is in getting to better know and understand each other. And by the way two way exchanges, not only having Egyptians come to the United States which we want them to do but also have more Americans visit Egypt."

...

"I really say that my job which is public diplomacy is about people. It’s about people and it’s about our policies. Because I recognize that our policies have an impact on people’s lives and I think I’ve learned as I’ve listened to people here that sometimes policy decisions that there are two sides to the coin. And you have one set of views in one place and a different set of views in another. Take for example the Palestinian issue. The goal of our United States policy in Palestine is that the Palestinian people might have the opportunity for a better life. That young people growing up in Palestine who -- that they have an opportunity to be educated and to have a job and too. I remember meeting with someone who told me how many Palestinian young people because they don’t have an opportunity to have a job, don’t feel that they can afford to be married and to have children, to have the experience of having children and families. And that’s what we want for the Palestinian people. That is the goal of our policy."

Now WTF is she saying here? No wonder Dubya sounds like his brainpan is packed with cat litter, listen to how his mentor talks!

[ProfessorGAC]

22. This Is Horrible!

She can't get through a sentence without confusing herself. And, she's one of the smart ones?
The Professor

[MADem]

23. The idiot thought "one nation, under God" was in the Constitution

She is a complete numbskull. A numbskull who is representing US to the world!!!! AGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

[charlie]

27. And Miers

spoke about an hitherto undiscovered "proportional representation requirement" in the Equal Protection Clause. So now we know that "originalism" means whatever the hell emanates from her 40-watt brain.

[ProfessorGAC]

30. Hey, On That Topic

I've been saying exactly that for some time now. The "originalists" came from an extension of strict construction. The problem is that these dolts don't understand the inherent contradiction.

What they're basically claiming is that the consitution should be narrowly applied, based upon a very limited reading, but then base any application on what the framers INTENDED. Therefore, a strict application of the constitution REQUIRES THAT THE DOCUMENT BE INTERPRETED!

IOW, nothing can be understood about the document or its application unless one opines on the intentions, in the minds, of people who died almost 200 years ago.

So, we're supposed to take it literally and narrowly as long as we understand the unspoken and unwritten thoughts of people who did this 22 decades ago!

The whole concept of originalism is idiotic on its face, and promoted by people not half as smart as they think they are, and, objectively, dumber than dirt.
The Professor

[charlie]

32. Man, you've got that right

Shroud your interpretation in the dark art of divination and you too can call yourself an Originalist. I once heard Scalia use, not the constitution or any other legal document, but the 18th century cultural milieu to justify a ruling -- he said that execution of minors wasn't cruel or unusual because it twern't no thang back in the day. That's some striiiiict constructuralizing.

[MADem]

31. AGGGGGGGH!!!!!!

"There is no proportional representation requirement in the Equal Protection Clause," said Cass Sunstein, a constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago. He and several other scholars said it appeared that Miers was confusing proportional representation - which typically deals with ethnic groups having members on elected bodies - with the one-man, one-vote Supreme Court ruling that requires, for example, legislative districts to have equal populations.

Good LORD, and they want to put this dunce on the COURT??? Hell, next thing you know, troublesome minority votes will only be worth 5/8th of a vote, and women will be barred from the polls.

Jesus, that is troubling!!!!

[DemonFighterLives]

26. prime example of the loonies in charge

I tried to read that, but got lost and drifted.
What now?
:freak:

[PATRICK]

37. This explains

Bush's crappy earpiece feed and mindless word repetition. Either that or she's been exposed to Bush too long. When substance fails just bleat out buzz words without any meaningful context.

The last stage of evil is incoherent babble. Just listen to the Nixon tapes for oratorical lessons in mental decline.

[aquart]

11. He terrifies me. I vote Bush.

For terrorist. Not president.

[opihimoimoi]

13. Indeed he is scarey....for Humanity, for the Planet, and for the Future

That the GOP sold us on him reveals their evil intent of Control at any Cost....

[Disturbed]

17. When she said that the US Constitution says...

"One nation under God" she should have been fired. Of course, that would never happen. She is a piece of shit that should be flushed.

[Hubert Flottz]

16. Karen Hugh needs to get back here ASAP and polish a few ...

things around the White House and I don't mean the royal knob. Damage control in Washington(SPIN)is starting to get pretty flaky, what with Brother KKKarl on his way out and the pubs poll numbers running 20% behind the good guys in congress. The Bush regime has blown it overseas worse than they have here at home, if that is possible. Texas Chain Saw Diplomacy and Grand Theft are hard to sell. She'd do better selling Grit Papers, than trying to sell more stale BUsh*t.

I'd say that blimp @$$ed Karen Hugh will be in big trouble, if things start biting the GOP on the @$$ any worse than they already are now. The @$$ Biters have a Hugh target there to gnaw on, so how could they miss? The Bush administration's word, on ANYTHING, is as worthless around the world, as it is in downtown New Orleans.

BTW, Is she related to Rush Limbo?

[countryjake]

18. ROTF! Grit papers! We used to get that!

Hey, those Grit paperboys were cute and smart; old Karen couldn't sell her way out of a paper bag, even if it had color pictures!

Thanks for a blast from the good old days!

[Hubert Flottz]

19. Not that I'm real Purdy or nothing but...

I sold Grit Papers when I was a kid. I always thought that most people thought I was pug ugly, when I came to sell my papers, because they all ran into their houses and acted like they weren't at home. I always ended up reading my papers myself.

I wish I could go back to my first childhood again sometimes, because this second childhood is mighty sad. All my great dreams and expectations of good things ahead, in that first childhood, are the things that I now miss the most. So much good to look forward to back then. Now looking backward is much more easy to abide, than dwelling on what probably lies ahead.

Momma never told me they'd be days like this, because she could have no more imagined this present calamity than I did. The Fairness Mom always spoke of, is something that should be placed on the endangered species list now. It probably should have been on the list all along, but the demise of fairness was never so obvious and ugly as it is today.

[DemonFighterLives]

25. Hubert, I think reading your papers by yourself did a lot of good

:rofl: The people hiding behind the shades may bave been freepers who thought that you might shine a light on things for them. Oh, scary. Maybe they just thought you were a Jehovah Witness or some other feared solicitor.

[opihimoimoi]

39. Hubert...what the hell is grit papers? Us guys in Hawhya don't have a clue

My Mama always said Beware of the Second Childhood but then she was talking about the toys and how they change...

Come, we go figure out how to get Fairness back into the equation...its been MIA

Gimme a vector....

[Garbo 2004]

20. Karen's gets her ass kicked by Muslim women in Turkey and Indonesia.

Note to Karen: they're not stupid, uneducated, uninformed and they're not sheep. If you want to peddle your propaganda to a potentially more accepting audience you might try your local Junior League and by now they might kick your ass around the block too.

[SledDriver]

21. It's sad to think...

The 19-year-old student who confronted Karen Hughes probably knows more about US history and US foreign policy than a majority of US citizens.

[journalist3072]

28. She's probably cursing the day

She accepted that job. See what happens when you're an apologist for the world's biggest crook, Karen?

[July]

29. Why, exactly, is Hughes talking mainly to women on this tour?

I don't get it.

[lectrobyte]

33. Karen Hughes is polishing our image? You can't polish a turd,

which is basically our image in the world today from what I can see.

[Neil Lisst]

34. She got her butt chewed out by Muslim women!

EX cellent!

[Verve]

35. Shouldn't some liberal U.S. women be following her to clean up her mess?

It's laughable that's she's getting shot down, but it's scary that women all over the world will stereo type us in the image of Karen Hughes. :puke: This is really horrifying!

[Miss Chybil]

36. Poor Karen. It's so hard to polish a turd. nt

[yellowcanine]

38. It is particularly difficult for a turd to polish a turd.

[countryjake]

40. Kick!
