“no amount of public relations will establish credibility if American behavior overseas is perceived as arrogant, uncaring or insulting.”

Admiral, you sound like our Communist “President” (really “pretender”)

If we want credibility overseas let’s speak with one sure and unwavering voice: “Freedom is our number one priority, and we will fight to the death to protect it. Any questions?”

The way I read this, the general seems to be saying that it is Americans causing the problems with the moslems! Crazy talk!

Mistake one, they hate us for who we are not what we do.

Mistake two, being liked is overrated which is why appeasement never works. Fear is a far better PR tool for deterrence.
