Karen Hughes : Does not Know History of Middle East

Undersecretary of State Karen Hughes and a long-time communications aide of Bush and Rove is on an Islamic public relations tour for the US. She passes out media kits which include a US presidential historical primer- the cover shows Bush, Wasington, Lincoln and Kennedy. What's wrong with this cover? One of the pitches that Ms. Hughes repeats many times is that Bush is the FIRST American president that supports a Palestinian state. This is not true. It's easy to see why she has a credibility gap with her listeners.

Palestine's ancient existence is found in historical records from many different sources.Even the Book of Exodus in the Bible records that. Israel was created out of the partition of Palestine in 1947 by the rigged vote in the UN. The voting members were voting for a reduced- gerrymandered Palestinian state . President Truman who gave the go ahead for the partition wanted Palestine to remain in existence.

The claim that Bush wants to establish an independent Palestine comes off as a lie or stupid or probably both. The people in the Middle East know their history. Bush and Hughes are learning the hard way.
