She seems to be reading from the White House talking points memo, problem is her english is so poor that she keep mangling them.

She tries to respond to the question : "How many years should the American troops remain in Iraq" with the WH Spin point : "AS the Iraqis stand up, we'll stand down" but she screws it all up.

Anyone have any doubt that the Rove PR operation found her and put her thru PR bootcamp? They failed. I don't think we'll be seeing her much more.

1. She is married to a reporter from Voice Of America, per this DU'er

I will now find the thread for you and paste it in.

2. She is trying to repeat what is being pumped to here from the

wire in her ear.
You can see the earpiece and I doubt it is there for the Tweety conversation.

BAD PEOPLE

3. Of course

It's like that Iraqi woman at the State of the Union. She was also at the RNC convention last year. DailyKos and here did research on this woman and found out she left Iraq when she was a toddler and never been back and she had connections to Bush. Anybody do any research on this woman?

[wtmusic]

4. We have to find out where she came from nt

5. There's no more good actresses left for the right wing

It's so incredible that they think they can put up such a hard, cold, sad, single representation of support for Bush next to Cindy Sheehan, so real, so deep, so compassionate that has thousands are flocking around her. Why? Because Cindy's real; these others aren't.

6. Seems completely Rovian to me.

And, jeez when are they going to let Tweedy go and replace him with someone more balanced.

[Xithras]

8. There ARE a lot of Iraqi Americans who support the US occupation

I work with a whole bunch of them. Many of these people fled Iraq because of persecution they experienced under Hussein and believe that ANYTHING, including theocracy, is better than what was there. They also talk to friends and relatives in Iraq regularly and say that the situation for the average Iraqi isn't quite as bad as many Americans think it is.

Of course, none of them have relatives in Fallujah (I asked).

11. Maybe they'll think differently when civil war breaks out...

And the next Saddam Hussein takes hold.

9. The nerve of these cowards is appalling!!

After living with Saddam all their lives and relying on us to come and save them they dare to criticize our freedoms.
She should be deported for questioning our free speech.

12. From Daily KOS

http://dailykos.com/storyonly/2005/8/15/221353/668
The faux Iraqi woman on Hardball is married to Greg Lamotte with Voice of America (VOA). I know stuff about them, but decided to find their public website, lest I inadvertently disclose classified info.

Here you go, from http://www.voanews.com/english/About/fastfacts.cfm
The Voice of America (VOA) is an international multimedia broadcasting service funded by the U.S. government through the Broadcasting Board of Governors.

13. She is married to a guy named Greg Lamotte.

I think it is the same guy who did network news in Oklahoma City back in the 80's. If this is that guy he has a sister named Linda who worked for various repug Senators and then went to either the World Bank or the IMF. I googled Linda but could not find anything.

15. so this is a bought-and-paid-for "Iraqi woman," eh?

[lumpy]

16. She is a tool for the administration.

Enough said.
