Hillary’s Mystery Woman: Who is Huma?

NY Observer ^ | 4/2/2007 | Spencer Morgan

[Constitution Day]

Huma... almost Human.

Excellent!

[Sig Sauer P220]

Since the Clinton's made a pact with the devil, Ms. Abedin is probably Satan in human form. No wonder, he/she didn't have a drop of sweat in 110 degree heat.

[Icthus]

Why would someone described as "stunningly gorgeous" and so "damn smart" as well as "the most terrifically dressed young woman you will ever encounter" be working as a low paid assistant to bitchzilla? It's not April Fool's Day is it?

[dynoman]

I wonder if you could search Hillary's appearances at these events and maybe run across a picture of Huma and Hillary;

[Graymatter]

Okayyy... Hillary's aide is a non-sweating, unphotographable demon by the name of Huma, the n is silent. Gotcha.

[Little Pig]

Maybe the woman just behind Hillary? She seems to fit the description.

[veronica]

Could be. A Christiane Amanpour type.

If you know the aide's name you can enter it here and see what the search finds.

[Hegemony Cricket]

Hmmmm. Wonder if she knows where all the bodies are buried?

[surelyclintonsbaddream]

Did a search on dogpile.com and found no picture, but this is interesting.

Not a very good picture, but it is in the NYO article:

[ravingnutter]

Yup...that's her...see my #71.

[veronica]

Good catch. I posted the printer version which does not include the picture.

[Miss Marple]

Still doesn't explain why there is no picture on Google, nor why her salary is so low, nor how she can afford Oscar's clothes on that salary.

[dynoman]

I wonder if that picture could be brightened up a bit.

[dynoman]

Well I think a clue might be that she is Saudi born. I ran across an article, Women in Islam, she's one, a nice soothing face of Islam for the dhimmis, I would guess she has no money problems.

[ravingnutter]

See #66...I am positive that picture is of her too and it is of much better quality.

[trad_anglican]

why her salary is so low

She's described as HRC's personal aide. Could it be that most of her pay comes from HRC private resources?

Quote;

"As we said earlier, the American government's approach toward Islam began in the 1990s and reached its high point during the Clinton administration. Clinton was the first to commend Islam and its moral teachings in his speeches, and the first to issue invitations to the White House on Islamic holidays. Under Clinton, for the first time invitations were arranged at the administration's top level for Muslims to attend an iftar meal. Subsequently, this became a tradition. When Clinton spoke about Islamic morality, one of the topics that he dwelt upon was the compatibility of Islamic moral values with those of the West. Clinton believed that "Devotion to family and to society, to faith and good works-are in harmony with the best of Western ideals."8 In another speech he said;

That is why we welcome Islam in America. It enriches our country with Islam's teachings of self-discipline, compassion, and commitment to family. 9

And on another occasion, he said that Islam was highly regarded by America:

America is made stronger by the core values of Islam-commitment to family, commitment to family, compassion for the disadvantaged, and respect for difference. 10

Hillary Clinton, who began the tradition of inviting Muslims to the White House, once stated during one of these gatherings that she admired the following things about Islam:

Universal values - love of family and community, mutual respect, education, and the deepest yearning of all - to live in peace - values that can strengthen us as a people and strengthen the United States as a nation. 11"

"Hillary Clinton first invited Muslims to the White House for the Ramadan Eid in 1996, and on every subsequent occasion gave significant messages to those in attendance. Among those who attempted to explain what Ramadan means for Muslims was Huma Abedin. Mrs. Clinton said that she personally learned a lot from this woman, and frequently mentioned the special importance she placed in establishing dialogue with Muslims."

...Ms. Abedin has indeed become a trusted advisor to Mrs. Clinton, especially on issues pertaining to the Middle East, according to a number of Clinton associates. At meetings on the region, they say, Ms. Abedin’s perspective is always sought out.

So Huma was advising Hillary in this 1999 meeting with Suha Arafat? Was Huma at Hillary's side when Suha accused the Israelis of poisoning the Palestinians? That was when Hillary's passive acquiescence was deemed by the arab audience supportive of their genocidal bent. Hillary's PR (Huma?) later blamed a poor translation that befuddled HRC perception of the event.
