Mullen says actions, not words, needed to erase 'arrogant Americans' label
By Thom Shanker
updated 2 hours, 9 minutes agoWASHINGTON - The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has written a searing critique of government efforts at "strategic communication" with the Muslim world, saying that no amount of public relations will establish credibility if American behavior overseas is perceived as arrogant, uncaring or insulting.
The critique by the chairman, Adm. Mike Mullen, comes as the United States is widely believed to be losing ground in the war of ideas against extremist Islamist ideology. The issue is particularly relevant as the Obama administration orders fresh efforts to counter militant propaganda, part of its broader strategy to defeat the Taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
"To put it simply, we need to worry a lot less about how to communicate our actions and much more about what our actions communicate"
I reccommend about one hour with Walid Phares, you moron.
This guy is the perfect CJCS for Obama. Gates is the perfect SecDef for him, and Obama is the penultimate sensitive 90's guy to lead the new style oblast of life by niceness, OR ELSE
FAILURE, CALUMNY, FRUSTRATION, DISASTER

American credibility would be shored up in a heartbeat if it atomized just ONE skanky old meteorite before declaring just ONE dead murderous pedophile (however popular or venerated by contemporary fucktards) to be just another dead murderous pedophile after all.
But it seems Lady Liberty has gone walkabout these days, and besides, she's evidently become a more nuanced hyperpower than all that...
