Karen Hughes leaves a failure
October 31, 2007

Washington, DC - Longtime Bush adviser Karen Hughes is quitting her job pitching the U.S. image abroad.

Needless to day, she failed miserably.

Polls show the world views the U.S. less favorably since Hughes took over.

Hughes served as undersecretary for public diplomacy and public affairs since her appointment to the post in March 2005, and was charged with running the State Department's campaign to "win the hearts and minds of the Muslim world."

In September of that year, Hughes traveled throughout the Middle East as part of what she dubbed a "listening tour" to repair America's image among Muslims. But it was a tough sell, and many Arabs criticized her for what they called her lack of understanding of the region.

(I wanted to post this one simply because of the title. It's good to see such a wonderful and realistic article about one of the major players in this dictatorship--er, theocracy--er, administration.)

6. I wonder if this was really ever supposed to accomplish
anything, or it was just window dressing. These people see the war on terror as a never ending battle to the death. There is nothing to negotiate.
