Elizabeth O'Bagy, whose WSJ column was relied on by John Kerry and John McCain to justify Obama's proposed Syria intervention was fired from her job for falsely claiming to hold a Ph.D. degree.
Was she even enrolled as a Ph.D. candidate somewhere? It is unclear.
A web page for Georgetown's Center for Contemporary Arab Studies indicates that "Elizabeth (Bailey) O'Bagy" graduated with an Master of Arts in Arab Studies.
She is fifth from the bottom of the list at http://ccas.georgetown.edu/story/1242708341083.html.
Was she even a doctoral candidate? Dunno.
Aren’t we all PhD candidates?
If my doctor asks me for sex life documentation, I’ll confess to all of my horrible crimes and sins, including being the frightful Milwaukee Enema Bandit. Unfortunately, a further, more detailed description of my horrific crimes and perversities would get me banned by the Taste Police.
Yes. But shills always have someone behind them who doesn't want to be seen, pulling the strings.
I have to wonder if she's had any relationship with Vallerie Jarrett.
Some masters programs are terminal and end with that degree, but some people get a masters on their way to the doctorate. Once they get the coursework out of the way, they are awarded the masters in case they don’t complete the thesis.
maybe she is working to replace huma for hitlery
After Weiner’s last flameout (did you see the photo of him driving away giving the press the finger), I can’t see how he’s of any use to Huma. What’s the Muslim Brotherhood going to do with that twit if he’s not in office?
Maybe Huma will be available soon.
On the left - guilty. On the right - not guilty.
After completing the requirements, they then complete two or more years of independent research and complete a book-length summary of their findings that, on approval by their dissertation committee, will grant them the doctorate.
At least she isn’t lying she is Native American like Professor and now Senator Elizabeth Warren
Going to the above link (leave of period after html shows this as someone’s distinction:
Lizette Baghdadi* - “Lesbanon: The Lesbian Experience in Lebanon”
Also, order is alphabetical.
I bet if someone were to do some digging they would find she is a rabid, foaming at the mouth, Hillary supporter.
It sure looks like a fake identity to me. Notice you can’t find a single thing referring to her (and she has quite a unique name, so if there were something it would stick out) that predates her public work. No Facebook, Twitter account has nothing older than March, no school listings, no anything. It’s as if she didn’t exist before she was created to promote war in Syria.
Has His Arrogance ever hired or appointed anyone that wasn’t an accomplished liar?
Or someone else?
I had already obtained a masters degree from one school when I enrolled in a doctoral program at a different school. I was surprised when the head of the department said that the MS was a consolation prize for those who couldn't finish a doctorate. It certainly wasn't such at the place where I earned one.
However, once I successfully defended my dissertation, I was officially a PhD, and could call myself Dr. I didn't have to wait until I'd gone through the ceremonial formality of walking across the stage. At some schools, I've since learned, it's that formality that counts. You can't call yourself Dr. until you actually have the diploma in hand.
I've read varying stories about Ms. O'Bagy: that she had defended her dissertation; that she was enrolled in a doctoral program but hadn't completed her dissertation; that she wasn't even registered as a student. I don't know what the truth is.
O’Bagy is following a in the footsteps of many high-level officials in Beijing. They fraudulently claim to have phDs from Harvard or Yale to obtain top-level jobs. This poses as a major problem for China, since most of its leadership is incompetent and they don’t listen to advice from their underlings , since they flash fake PhD diplomas whenever somebody disagrees with them.
She had a high profile at The Institute for the Study of War, and was author of numerous reports on Syria:

See my post 38.
I have a terminal master’s also; had to write a thesis and all that. Anyway, if Ms O’Baggypants has indeed defended her dissertation but has not had it approved yet, she is getting a little bit of a bum rap. But she shouldn’t have said she finished, if in fact she said that. The press is so unreliable.
Enjoyed your home page, btw.
