Michelle Malkin has the details on president Bush’s latest press conference, in which he even flubbed a question about the blame-the-victim tactics used against a victim of gang rape in Saudi Arabia….

Maybe this is where you wind up after twenty years of no leadership. Where will we be after another eight with Billary. I give up.

I volunteer to instruct the course.

Some years back the women’s organizations made a lot of empty promises too and managed to do nothing more than set up institutional affirmative action hiring and infanticide on demand. By placing concerns for the environment over national security we have been reduced to the mercy (held hostage) to the world’s oil producing countries. If we don’t like the spot we’re in I’d suggest we either find an alternative fuel or start digging.

We are at the point we can no longer challenge human rights issues with any authority. because we owe what’s left of our collective conscience to Asia and oil producing states.

As a woman, I’m ashamed that our national women’s organizations have remained silent. Hollyweird celebrities have remained silent.

Did you ever expect any more from them?

MB4 – Before we blame this administration

I blame this administration for the last 6 years 10 months of it and I would think that after 9/11 they should have wised up.

Our esteemed friends in the UN refuse to say anything against the Saudis or any other muslim country as well. How many of those same countries are represented in the security council, or human rights councils? It’s a travesty.

As a woman, I’m ashamed that our national women’s organizations have remained silent. Hollyweird celebrities have remained silent. The MSM remains silent. The only reason we know of any of these incidences are due to very brave women that have escaped and are trying to tell the world. Many live with the certainly that if found they will die.

Hey, she should have thought of that before she was born without a penis.

The above post is the winner of this thread.

very nice.

“…And what they were saying to me is they want to reach out. They want American women to know what they’re like. And these women do not see covering as some sort of subjugation of women, this group of women that I was with.

That’s their culture. That’s their tradition. That’s a religious choice of theirs.“

If she was gonna bitch about lashes, etc., she should have CHOSEN to be born somewhere ~ and something ~ else.

Duh.

Where are the femenist liberal womens voices????

They are here and here and here. If you want to take action, you can join Amnesty’s Urgent Action Network.

To me the real question is: where is the US Government?

[t]he Saudi government…attributes the appellate court’s decision to increase the number of lashes against her to some mysterious “new evidence” that came to light.

What, did she allow a sliver of face to show, the hussy?

What a grand people these are!

When will this country ever get a spine and challenge Saudi Arabia?

During the first Gulf war, I thought that we should look like we’re massing to attack Iraq, and then head South.

Islam demanded that she be gang-raped.
