WSJ op-ed writer Elizabeth O’Bagy fired for resume lie
Politico ^

Posted on 09/11/2013 10:37:42 AM PDT by Hoodat

The Syria researcher whose Wall Street Journal op-piece was cited by Secretary of State John Kerry and Sen. John McCain during congressional hearings about the use of force has been fired from the Institute for the Study of War for lying about having a Ph.D., the group announced on Wednesday.

“The Institute for the Study of War has learned and confirmed that, contrary to her representations, Ms. Elizabeth O’Bagy does not in fact have a Ph.D. degree from Georgetown University,” the institute said in a statement. “ISW has accordingly terminated Ms. O’Bagy’s employment, effective immediately.”

O’Bagy told POLITICO’s Kate Brannen in an interview Monday that she had submitted and defended her dissertation and was waiting for Georgetown University to confer her degree.

O’Bagy’s Aug. 30 op-ed piece for the Journal, “On the Front Lines of Syria’s Civil War,” was cited by both Kerry and McCain last week. McCain read from the piece last Tuesday to Kerry, calling it “an important op-ed by Dr. Elizabeth O’Bagy.” The next day, Kerry also brought up the piece before a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing and described it as a “very interesting article” and recommended that members read it. . . .

after all Pelousi isn't known for her honesty since she vouched for Barry

So she said she did all the work, and she's just waiting for graduation?

There is a very simple explanation as to why John "I served in Vietnam" Kerry would cite a WSJ editorial rather than the 'take' from the Black Programs.

The 'take' didn't say what he wanted to say and the editorial did.

McCain knows her well. She set up and accompanied him on his visit with the rebel kidnappers.

Secretary of State John Kerry and Sen. John McCain, two giants in the world of stupidity.

Typical Foggy Bottom expert. All academic and no real world anything. Outside military vets I doubt a handful of under 30’s have ever been to the ME much less know anything about it.

Her attempted explanation smells too. My son defended his dissertation in the afternoon and was a “Doctor” by the time of the cocktail party that night. If she has submitted and defended her dissertation but Georgetown hasn’t yet awarded the degree, there is probably some problem.

Well so she’s submitted her dissertation and is waiting to hear word on her Doctorate...I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt there.

My objection is the Administrations total lack in the searching of the truth behind the gassing.

They already made of their minds as to who they wanted to support and clearly were in a rush for any supporting evidence they could get their hands on.

These people have been paid off by arab oil royality to be the military strong arm of their will...not ours.

The Clintonista trash did this in support the Bosnian mudslime aggressors and clearly got away with it, Huma Mahmood Abedin anyone?.

What difference does it make?

The Congress and government supports al Qaeda
over Americans.

They keep the borders open for them, arm them
at the border, and the terrorists (like in Boston)
DO NOT EVEN NEED PASSPORTS if they promise to
murder and rape Americans for the White House/DO”J”.
