NEW YORK (AP) - Katie Couric plans to leave Wednesday for an ambitious reporting trip to Iraq and Syria—the CBS anchor's first time in the war zone—in anticipation of a crucial military report on progress of the American effort.Great. Just what we need, another American single-Mom poking her nose around in a country where women are considered chattel property.
Couric will anchor the "CBS Evening News" from Baghdad next Tuesday and Wednesday, then from Damascus on Thursday and Friday.
Couric will travel throughout Iraq to talk to military and civilian leaders, soldiers and average Iraqis, spending most of her time outside of Baghdad.
Just what sort of information is she going to pry out of any Iraqi male who believes she should stuffed away in a harem somewhere, remaining very quiet? Whatever is broadcast with Katie doing the interviewing and talking will have been heavily edited and conducted with safe-safe-safe hand-picked subjects, in a safe-safe-safe area. Accurate news? Get real.
OK, so a lot of Americans think women should be able to go anywhere and do anything without consequence. But the Muslims certainly believe otherwise. They believe even talking to a woman in public is demeaning.
Until we learn that tossing women up in their faces is a deadly insult to them, we're not going to get anywhere with these 12th century throwbacks. We need to realize that these guys are a couple generations away from viewing women as anything near equal, maybe more.
That may rub a lot of folks the wrong way but that's the way it is. Those are the guys we need to get to some sort of agreement with to end this war. Man-to-man, no women anywhere in sight. Sending over yet another woman only widens the gulf with these fanatics.
And yet, Bush keeps sending Condie over there in attempts to force these guys into some sort of truce, or agreement, or whatever. But the idiot sends a woman, and a black one at that. A double-heavy super-whammie type insult.
And now CBS wants to join the stupid parade and send a woman - a blonde one - over there to spread the perceived insults around even further.
Cripes... those dudes are used to bidding on blonde American females, not talking to them.
What was that line? Oh yes...
"Stupid is as stupid does".
Just wait until we get a woman president. No talks at all... period.

Yepper, amen, you said it.
The best we can do, is turn it over to the Iraqis and get the hell out of there - like we should have done about four years ago!
The idiots in the government-media complex mirror the State Department morons in their "glasnost" delusions.
Would you try to "open a dialogue" and "develop an understanding" of Charles Manson, or Jack the Ripper?
WTF!?
