Karen Hughes using silly slogans
In Turkey she told women "Sometimes you have to go to war to protect the Peace".The bush* people don't they ever realize how stupid that sounds?

4. That Karen - she is soo sensitive and astute.
We have such a bunch of idiots running our country and the whole world knows it except for 40% of the American people.

7. Sounds a bit Saddamesque!

Wonder what Karen would say with a response like, "Sometimes you have to kill your people to protect your dictatorship." *wink*

8. War is peace. Torture is mercy. Ignorance is knowledge.
Do these people not have any sense of irony at all?

read.

25. And all her sentences are tailored exclusively for domestic consumption..
specifically targeting their eroding base, as I understand things.

14. "Irony? So you want to send women back to the kitchen and laundry
and have them slaving over ironing boards all day? My Administration has considered the BAREFOOT AND PREGNANT OPTION, and we are in full agreement with your Irony Proposal. It's a great plan for the Little Ladies of the World." - Geroge W. Bush

9. As they say here in the South, "Oh, Bless her heart..."
(What the women say after just finishing saying how foolish a person is)

"Why, she just doesn't have a clue, bless her heart...":evilgrin:

21. The "bless her heart" thing is reserved for good intentioned but
clueless people. Doesn't apply to Bush gang, I've seen nothing that indicates any good intentions. I honestly feel so depressed and cynical some days I wish someone would point out something positive this crew has accomplished. Well, something good for folks other than rich cronies and Halliburton. I repeat myself. Sorry.

13. Despite the generally admitted charm of her
manly grace, she is just a silly cow peddling the Bush Crime Family's agenda.

15. It doesn't sound stupid if you are stupid, which Hughes clearly is.
She is as ignorant as they come.

18. I'm not surprised..........
.........that she's getting this kind of reception. They have ridiculous policies and no amount of justifications can gloss over that!

I saw a clip where she was holding something that looked like a key chain and she said something about it was a gift to them from Texas and DC. When I saw that, I thought........you gotta be kidding!! You think giving them a little trinket like that is going to make a difference?

It's like after hurricane Katrina, Anderson Cooper said 'these people want real answers and right now, they're not getting them'.

The same could be said for the Middle East. They're not interested in trinkets or justifications, they want to know how we are going to improve a badly bungled situation in the Middle East!! And no amount of justifications can improve that without the correct actions.

20. Yeah, and then they handed Karen her ass on a platter.
She did NOT win any hearts and minds for Halliburton on THAT visit....

26. What was the response?
Our own public dialogue has been so dumbed down that newspeak slogans like that hardly raise an eyebrow these days. I've noticed they're openly scoffed at in Europe, as they should be. What was the response in Turkey?

27. Maybe.....if you are attacked. This was A WAR OF CHOICE.
I fear the rest of the world is as insulted by Karen Hughes as I am.
