I've been a Clinton Kremlinologist for years, and although there are many armor-plated guardians of Clinton's inner circle, Huma Abedin has been the toughest to crack. No exaggeration: with Clinton heading to State, Abedin is going to be a major force in American diplomacy for the next several years.

-snip-

She is also a Muslim who speaks fluent Arabic --her mother runs a university in Saudi Arabia -- and brings that perspective on a complex part of the world to HRC's sphere. it's not uncommon to see Huma on Bill Clinton's important trips to the region, because he too values her in that way.

Now we know why Hillary wrote off her campaign debt to become Secretary of State.

She’s back! Hey Huma!

[Kackikat]

Muslim? Intersting.

[McGruff]

Aw, that's sweet. Hill didn't dump her after the campaign.

[arthurus]

If yall remember,back in the time of the primaries. there was some concern about a strong Arab and Moslem presence that would exist in the administration should Mrs. Bill win.

[Domandred]

Yay Huma!

[Kackikat]

I knew she was friends with Queen Nor, when Hussien was King of Jordan, but this is first I heard of this woman.. just think of this as what is happening in Australia...there has been demands for certain Muslim customs and prayer 5 times a day that disrupts much of what goes on there. SAD..Christians never got that kind of support.

There was a novel about our experiences in Vietnam: The Ugly American by IIRC, Eugene Burdick.

In it is described the hazards of allowing all of your contact with an alien culture to be filtered through a single source that has its own agenda...

She’s a different kind of (pussy)cat than Socks. Hasn’t outlived her usefulness yet.

[Uncle Miltie]

"I had huma and pita last night for dinner."

So did Hillary.

Left a fishy smell.

[Enchante]

AH, I’ve been wondering when Huma would turn up again..... How could Hillary function without her? Just another “investment” the Saudis make in influencing our national and international affairs.....

Hmmm. Bill 'n Hill sharing?

[tbw2]

And being female, she doesn’t raise the red flags a Saudi man in our politics would.

[river rat]

Have no doubts folks — the Saudis have bought all the politicians they need to keep things safe for themselves.

Beyond Carter and the Clintons - there are MANY serving in the Congress whose 1st allegiance is to the bucks they're getting from the Saudis and others....

The Black Congressional Caucus even had members OPENLY soliciting for funds......like the whores they've become.

Don't forget for a moment that Huma and Hill are a unit! Huma can not pass a top security clearance!
