crony but wrong person

Even if the task weren’t so daunting, said Abdel-Bari Atwan in the pan-Arab Al Quds al Arabi, Hughes is the wrong person to attempt it. This is the spin doctor who was personally responsible for peppering those early Bush speeches with biblical verses and references to God, “making it look as if the president were waging war in Afghanistan and Iraq out of religious duty.”

The resulting perception of the U.S. as a nation on a crusade did incalculable harm to America’s image. And she’s only making things worse.

Hughes lacks the most basic knowledge of the Arab world, an ignorance so obvious as to be insulting. She’s simply a crony of Bush.

But soon she will learn that “beautifying the face of President Bush to the American citizen is one thing, and marketing his bloody foreign policies to the Arabs and Muslims is a totally different thing.”
