Good for her, but as Malkin asks - where's Bush on this?
To: the anti-liberal
Bush issued a statement and had Condi call Karzai.

If they do execute this guy, we should immediately withdraw our troops.

Thank heavens someone bitch-slapped McCormack from the State Department. His behavior was disgusting during his briefing the other day.

What did she call him? I've a few choice words in mind.

"Bush issued a statement"
You mean this tepid statement?
"I'm troubled when I hear, deeply troubled when I hear, the fact that a person who has converted away from Islam may be held to account. That's not the universal application of the values that I talked about. I look forward to working with the government of that country to make sure that people are protected in their capacity to worship."
As he's (Bush) is a Christian himself I'd expect a somewhat stronger statement from him.
Color me unimpressed.

I'm troubled when I hear, deeply troubled when I hear, the fact that a person who has converted away from Islam may be held to account."Held to account"? Why is he glossing over what's going on----they're fixing to execute the guy!

Brit Hume mentioned that this was brought up when Pres. Bush was in WV...Brit said this story must be resonating with the American people if it is brought up in WV. Anyway, Fred Barnes said that his inside sources tell him that the Admin. is moving heaven and earth to stop the gov. from murdering this man.

Yesterday the Afghan prosecutor basically withdrew the charges, saying he was probably not mentally fit to stand trail, some kind of face saving ploy to get out from under, and still get along with the local Muslim radicals, I guess

Karzai will somehow manage to intervene with the courts and get Rahman declared incompetent to stand trial. He'll be released and his headless body will be found a week later. International crisis averted, and islam continues to have its way.
To: yellowdoghunter
Did he mean Bush's Admin. or Karzai's? Or both jointly?

Classic technique.
Hostage negotiations, buying a car, etc. Never commit the highest authority to an absolute position. You've got nowhere to go if they tell you to take a leap. If Karzai tells Secretary Rice there's nothing he can do, she invokes the diplomatic equivalent of "I'll tell Dad."

"If they do execute this guy, we should immediately withdraw our troops."
Withdraw our troops, stop all financial aid, nuke 'em into a pile of glowing rubble. That place is no better than it was before we "won" the war. Terrorists still operate with impunity and islam still oppresses everyone, only the players have changed. Islam cannot coexist with any religion.

I agree with the withdrawing of troops from Afghan if they kill this guy, or do anything other than release him. What was the sense of freeing these people from the Taliban if they are going to be just as bad as the people they were freed from?

Ms. Rice also told Afghanistan's Foreign Minister, Abdullah Abdullah, in a 15-minute meeting in Washington today that she was deeply troubled by the case It so troubled Rice
that she called him twice...

Barnes meant the Bush Admin. Barnes basically said that Bush Admin. knows this story has the potential to really turn the American public sour.

If they do execute this guy, we should immediately withdraw our troops.I think it would be more expedient to simply use our troops to prevent the execution. I have a feeling that is what Condi suggested when she said that it was discussed "in the strongest possible terms." Leaving is not an option.

"Good for her, but as Malkin asks - where's Bush on this?"
Uh, having his Secretary of State make the call. That's her job. If you're implying that Bush should make the call for public relations purposes you're probably right. So many people are impressed by appearances, if Bush had rolled his sleeves up and pretended to help the National guard during Katrina he may have saved his poll numbers--not that anyone would actually have been helped. Clinton instinctively know when to get in front of the cameras and when to hide--and that's all he did. Bush appears to just want to do his job and have his cabinet do theirs. Just my 2 cents.
