We Ask Again: Where Is Karen Hughes?
Peace and Freedom ^ | August 30, 2006 | John E. Carey

“We are great with TV but we are getting crushed on the P.R. [Public Relations] front.” —President George W. Bush when asked by NBC News reporter Brian Williams on August 29, 2006 why there is so much anti-American sentiment and out-right hatred for America in many parts of the world.

In view of President Bush’s statement, we feel compelled to ask again a question we raised about 10 days ago: “Where is Karen Hughes?”

More precisely, “Where is the United States’ campaign of truth and honesty in the Middle East?”Not long ago, a thug named Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah leader, emerged from the shadows to become, in just over a month, one of the more important political figures of Lebanon and one of the leaders of the Arab world’s radical wing.

Because it is fostered and spewed on a daily basis by the democratic party---and it is highlighted and repeated over and over on a daily basis by the MSM!

the Hezbollah leader, emerged from the shadows to become, in just over a month, one of the more important political figures of Lebanon and one of the leaders of the Arab world’s radical wing.

Nasrallah has started to get his own bad press. My best guess on Karen Hughes is that she determined in fairly short order a campaign to expose Muslims to who and what Americans are was a lost cause, at least in the way they initially dedided to go about it.

Good article. Not sure if the people wanting to zot you actually read it.

Any reason y'all think this should be zotted? Or do you just reflexively assume that a new poster is a troll?

Karen, who I admire greatly, came back into the game too late. The media was too far ahead in the game for her to do more than score a few token points. That said, there may be things she has accomplished that don't make the mainstream.

IrishMike: Thanks. This got the response I expected from FReepers. We can love the president and still throw a penalty flag once in a while I would hope? Free speech is not all free in the blogosphere....we Americans have polarized into "camps" that don't discuss: except with people of like minds. We need to open the windows an inch or two....maybe. I could be wrong!

I thought she was such a dynamo, the President's trusted agent, that she could come out of the bullpen and win the game...or at least be seen on the mound. I didn't know this was a stealth mission.....

Why cannot the president answer this idiotic question? Not everyone is going to love us; it has always been this way. There are many, many people/countries that are jealous of us. That is not going to change.

It would not hurt to point out that Williams is a bit of a moron as well, for notbeing able to carry this question to its logical conclusion.

No, you're not wrong. The window does need openned an inch or two. But there are some who are afraid of the fresh air and the sunlight it may let in.

You are paying attention to the wrong things. Stop and consider the actions of what are now called moderate Arab governments and Pakistan in the last month and you will see that their has been a huge change since 9/11. Bush has been able to get most governments in the world to see that terrorism affects them all and there is wide agreement and cooperation.

As you said, "the President's trusted agent" and she is known around the world as such. Her word is his word. So perhaps it is a "stealth mission" and her job description is cover. Who knows anything for certain? Neither you nor I.
