NANCY POWELL
Former U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan
(August 16, 2002 - November 5, 2004)
On June 26, 2002, President Bush nominated Nancy Powell, a career member of the Senior Foreign Service, as U.S. Ambassador to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, where she had been serving as Chargé d'Affaires ad interim at the U.S. Mission since June 2. As required by the U.S. Constitution, the U.S. Senate confirmed her nomination on August 1 and Secretary of State Colin Powell swore her into office on August 9. Ambassador Powell presented her credentials to President Musharraf on August 16, 2002. Prior to her present assignment, Ambassador Powell was U.S. Ambassador to Ghana from September 2001 through May 2002. She also served in Washington as Acting Assistant Secretary for African Affairs from January until June 2001. From July 1999 until January 2001 she was Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for African Affairs.
Ambassador Powell has also previously served as Ambassador to Uganda from 1997 to 1999, and was Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Dhaka, Bangladesh from 1995 to 1997. After a one-year tour as Consul General in Calcutta, Ms. Powell served in New Delhi as Political Counselor from 1993 to 1995. She was Deputy Chief of Mission in Lome, Togo from 1990 until 1992. Her other overseas assignments have included Islamabad, Kathmandu and Ottawa, and previous Washington assignments included those of Nepal Desk Officer and Refugee Assistance Officer.

I think I'm no longer interested in my breakfast.
From the picture, looks like the US government sent my old lunchlady to Pakistan.
I could swear that the woman in the photo was the 1993 Petaluma Wrist Wrestling Champion.
Is it not a insulting and stupid to send a fat, sloppy lesbian to a key Muslim ally?
THAT is a WOMAN????? Come on....it MUST be a fae picture!!! She even LOOKS like a lefty!!
I was just getting ready to say one should not send a woman to do a man's job.
Caption. "Does this outfit make me look fat?"
LOL! Sorry, I couldn't help it.

Is that her wife in the middle?
No offense with what I about to write. Already a bad move to place a woman there (I know, I know, we are speaking "silently" to the "feudal" forces of terror, by demontrating how far a woman can go in the West - I realize this "logic" - and then, there is realpolitik ... I digress). An even worse move to put a very, how shall I put this, non feminine woman there. And then, the icing on the cake - apparently, she was an insubordinate #@!* disturber to boot. Now I fully well realize that we are already handicapped by the fact that Foggy Bottom is made up of 90 plus % utopian idiots, transnational progressives and other sad specimens. But even so, this is astounding. HEEEELLOOOOO! IS ANYBODY HOME?
Thats PAT!
a real porker.
why she's still in the employ of the u.s. government needs serious attention.
