Veteran foreign-service officer Barbara Bodine's appointment as a key player in Iraq's transitional government has angered Defense Department officials and federal law-enforcement authorities who believe that as U.S. ambassador to Yemen, she blocked an FBI investigation into the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole.

Islam considers the wife a possession. "Fair in the eyes of men is the love of things they covet: women and sons, heaped-up hoards of gold and silver; horses..." Surah 3:14

Islam instructs women to veil themselves always when they are outside their homes" and say to the believing women...that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty"Surah 24:31

Mohammed teaches that women are lacking in mind and religion "I have not seen any one more deficient in intelligence and religion than women" Al Bukhary vol. 2:541

That is the best way to get the Muslims to trust us, Put a woman in charge.

But FBI officials said the Cole investigation was stymied by Miss Bodine and that she made little effort to encourage Yemeni authorities to cooperate. Despite a number of death threats against agents by Islamic terrorists, she refused to allow investigators to carry the weapons Mr. O'Neill considered necessary for their protection.

After Mr. O'Neill left Yemen in August 2001 for New York, Miss Bodine refused to authorize his re-entry visa back into Yemen. His colleagues said he was told by Miss Bodine his investigative techniques were too aggressive and undiplomatic, and it was important for the United States to get along with foreign governments.

She should have been shot. Bush has to stop listening to the career leftists in the State Department.

A Pentagon official, who asked not to be identified, said Miss Bodine dismissed warnings of terrorist attacks in Yemen against U.S. ships and allowed the Cole to enter port at a reduced security level because she felt the value of showing a U.S. presence in Yemen outweighed the risks.

This is B.S. The Commander of the ship is the one who ultimately makes decisions regarding the security of his ship, not some land locked diplomat.

State Department Giving Baghdad to House of Saud?

[RAT Patrol]

I doubt there exists a perfect choice. The important thing will be to insure that all groups are adequately represented. This will undoubtedly be a new concept in that part of the world.

She should have been shot. Bush has to stop listening to the career leftists in the State Department.

End of thread, discussion, and bottom line.

Why is it that people with my first name, Barbara, are so often negative forces.... Barbara Boxer, Barbra Streisand, etc.....

[End Times Sentinel]

She should have been shot. Bush has to stop listening to the career leftists  seditious fifth column in the State Department.

 

There, now it's perfect.

 

How a woman is going to play in Baghdad that's the biggest issue, it's the fact that she's a proven toady to the terrorists that should raise a WTF???.

Barbara Olsen, Barbara Bush, and I'm sure there are others to balance things a bit... :)

At least you are not a Nancy, as in Pelosi.

[mabelkitty]

I have a problem with this chick.

She put cold water on our Sudan investigation.

[Amerigomag]

Should have picked Maxine Watters though. LOL

Waters is scheduled to be appointed the mayor of Umm Qasr.

She'll have a budget of $12 anually.

The U.S. Department of State is full of Clintonista hold-overs that should have been cleaned out, but instead Powell kept them. I am no fan of Powell and never have been.

If Dept. of State wins out over Pentagon, which Rumsfeld is cleaning out, then we sent a whole lot of good people to fight and die in vain. George W. Bush will be a one-term president. What a waste if this happens.

[Radix]

Putting a woman in a position of authority in a Muslim country has to be considered as a statement by the USA to these people.

Clinton apparantly did not appreciate that when he had Madeline Albright doing diplomacy. The Bush Administration has proven that they know what they are doing. It cannot be a coincidence that they want a woman over there.

Nancy Reagan?

Then here is my vote....

I doubt she's a career leftist. Sounds more like a career Arab-lover. "Don't investigate the USS Cole--we might find out my friends did it!"
