Richardson Said He'd Name Envoy To Repair Ties With Muslims (Delusional alert)

DES MOINES, Iowa — Democratic presidential candidate Bill Richardson said today that if he won the White House, he would name a top-level envoy assigned to rebuilding shattered ties to the Muslim world.

Richardson also called for a "multilateral Marshall Plan" to rebuild the Middle East.

"Winning the war against al-Qaida has a lot to do with building goodwill," he said. "For a small fraction of the cost of the Iraq war, which has made us so many enemies, we could make many friends."

The New Mexico governor spelled out his foreign policy views in a speech in Des Moines to a group called the U.S. Center for Citizen Diplomacy. Much of the address focused on repairing what he called a failed policy in the Middle East, particularly in a war in Iraq that's put the U.S. at odds with much of the Muslim world.

"To accomplish this, as president I would appoint a full-time, high-level envoy dedicated to improving our relationship with the Muslim world," said Richardson. "This person must be fluent in the cultures, language and customs of the Arab street and serve as an attache helping bridge the divide that this administration has failed to cure."

Richardson also called upon the U.S. to lead by example and live up to its ideals. "Prisoner abuse, torture, secret prisons, rendition and evasion of the Geneva conventions must have no place in our policy," he said.

He returned often to his experience. "Over the past 15 years, I have led many diplomatic missions where I have stood toe to toe with some of the world's toughest customers," said Richardson. "I have gotten all these tough guys to do what I wanted because I put aside my disdain for them and I talked to them."

“...rebuilding shattered ties to the Muslim world.”

like hooking up again with the moslem slave trade?

[massgopguy]

Gonna do something about them Jooooooooooooooooooooooooooos Bill? Huh.

[CedarDave]

Come on Bill, they hate us because of who we are, not because of anything we've done. And they respect a show of strength and force, not talk by a burrito-filled diplomat.

Richardson also called for a "multilateral Marshall Plan" to rebuild the Middle East.

Ahhhhh...so he'd give billions of our tax dollars away to these animals to try and get them to like us.

Good plan, Bill.

Out of his mind. What part of Jihad doesn’t Richardson understand? That they intend to take over the world whether we like it or not? That they will cheat, lie, steal, and butcher everyone in their way? This fool would get millions of innocents killed.

"For a small fraction of the cost of the Iraq war, which has made us so many enemies, we could make many friends."

We could use that money to host hot dog cookouts, ice cream socials, and swimming lessons. I'm sure the Muslims would love it - we'd be easier to kill that way.

His work in Korea really worked. What a douche bag.

Democratic presidential candidate Bill Richardson said today that if he won the White House, he would name a top-level envoy assigned to rebuilding shattered ties to the Muslim world.

Will I have to pay the Jizya based on my gross income or will I be allowed to take deductions for my other taxes and home mortgage before I calculate it on President Richardson's version of Form 1040?

Richardson was the Clinton lackey assigned to find a job for Monica to get her out of the spotlight during the infamous blue dress scandal. He is auditioning for the VP spot on Hillary’s ticket. Making overtures to the jihadis is not on anyone’s Top 10 Burning Issues list, which proves how utterly clueless Richardson is...perfect VP material for Hillary.

Richardson To Appoint Appeasement Czar!

Rebuild the Middle East? Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia are some of the wealthiest nations on earth thanks to their oil reserves. What the hell is he talking about?

In the case of Iraq, they could rebuild themselves if the nutcases wouldn't keep blowing everything up.

Whenever I think of Bill Richardson as a presidential candidate, I get a severe case of the giggles. Then, I see him on one of the Sunday morning talk shows—like Russert’s— and I feel sorry for him.

“Winning the war against al-Qaida has a lot to do with building goodwill,” he said. “For a small fraction of the cost of the Iraq war, which has made us so many enemies, we could make many friends.”

Stupid is as stupid does. Al-Qaida will take our tax money and use it further their violence against us. We really do need a purge of the clowns running our government. They are are wasting the oxygen the rest of us need to breathe.
