She's apparently at a convention of the National Assn. of Black Journalists, with some students, and was inspired to to try to ask Barack Obama a question.
Good grief.
Do you think we are paying her to be there? (It's in Vegas.)
UPDATE: Her question is whether Obama would meet with Al Qaeda. Would Republicans meet with Saddam Hussein? Well ...
Rummy and Saddam, in the happier days of the Reagan administration. (Hat tip: Illusory Tenant.)
Speaking of Republicans doing good all across the world, here's an interesting little nugget:
ReplyDelete"During most of the 1980's, the CIA secretly sent billions of dollars of military aid to Afghanistan to support the mujahedeen - or holy warriors - against the Soviet Union, which had invaded in 1979.
The U.S.-supported jihad succeeded in driving out the Soviets but the Afghan factions allied to the US gave rise to the oppressive Taliban and Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda."
So in summation, Republicans helped arm the Afghani mujahadeen, who ended up turning against the U.S. and led to the Taliban and Al-Qaida, and they also helped supply Saddam Hussein with arms during his fight against Iran. Great folks, those Republicans. They may not be much good at spreading democracy, but they're sure good at creating new adversaries!
