Karen Hughes' Mission 'Rude,' 'Insensitive,' 'Tactless'
Jordan paper doesn't think much of bushco's foreign policy, either.


http://watchingamerica.com/thestar000001.shtml

What kind of diplomacy does Hughes practice when she comes to Saudi Arabia
on an official visit, meets with the country’s leadership, and then turns to
Saudi women and incites them against a law on the books in their country?

Regardless of the correctness of that law and whether or not it is just, the
point here is how rude and absurd it is to interfere in a country’s internal
affairs with that kind of insensitivity and lack of diplomatic tact, while
on an official visit. Personally speaking, this is just another in a series
of blunders, just another sign of arrogance by an American Administration
that has become a role model for “global dictatorship” presented to the
world under the guise of “Globalization.”

Hughes faced heated and emotional complaints about U.S. foreign policy, and
her only defense was the pre-packaged and boring cliché that war is
necessary for peace; a distinctive feature of the U.S. Administration, which
is best referred to as “spin.”

<snip>

Instead of reconsidering America’s colonial foreign policy that taking
Washington from one war to another, creating foes in every corner of the
globe, the U.S. Administration wants the world to change the basic,
instinctive sense of justice that man has been created with. Americans want
to know why there is growing hatred toward everything American. The only
answers they receive, however, are those given them by their own media
monopoly giants that have for so long claimed to be fair and independent.

5. OT BUT...
I'm so sorry about loosing your puppy, Poppy. Our Hydro was 14 when we lost him and I still miss him begging for steak and "pizza bones" at the table. :-(

Poppy looks like he was a sweetie!

9. You'd think we'd be OK with them going after such a long life, but
it's still very hard.

But you know that.

8. RIP Poppy. Sorry to hear that.
Our hamster, Lucy, died a few weekends ago, and I'm still amazed at how hard it hit me.

FEH on karen hughes. She's so busy worshipping the commander-in-CHEAT that she has no room for any other kind of thought in her twisted little mind.

11. Dependable Renegade always has the latest "My EYES!" pictures of
Karen Hughes.

Today there are several good ones, including Condi Rice giving Karen Huges' wedding garter to the Jordanian people.

Warning: do not click on link unless you have a mordant sense of humor. :)
