Debra Cagan - Deputy Secretary of State "I hate all Iranians"


British MPs visiting the Pentagon to discuss America’s stance on Iran and Iraq were shocked to be told by one of President Bush’s senior women officials: “I hate all Iranians.”

And she also accused Britain of “dismantling” the Anglo-US-led coalition in Iraq by pulling troops out of Basra too soon.

The all-party group of MPs say Debra Cagan, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Coalition Affairs to Defence Secretary Robert Gates, made the comments this month.

10. First thought I had, too
All she needs is a runic SS on each of her epaulets to complete the image of a fashion conscious, high ranking member of the Nationalist Socialist Party.

13. No, it's Hungarian
It is the Commander's Cross Order of Merit of the Republic of Hungary - which she had just been awarded in 2005. Picture was from the Hungarian Embassy: http://www.huembwas.org/News2/56Emb2005.htm

11. I doubt it
Edited on Tue Oct-02-07 08:53 AM by TechBear_Seattle
Most transgendered people I know make a conscious effort to look typically male or female. This person looks like an out of work female impersonator with far more money than fashion sense.

8. I hate men who crossdress and still look like men when they're made-up.

27. I saw a woman that rather looked like her.
Edited on Tue Oct-02-07 11:48 AM by igil
Yesterday at the doctor's. Same sort of bone structure; she was better dressed and had a Blackberry or some such device glued to her hand and often at her ear.

Horribly unflattering hair. Turns out she was seeing her oncologist, go back 6 months or so and she'd have been bald from the chemo.

Just saying: Sometimes it's important to remember that there's information we don't have but would consider pertinent. Cagan may like her 'look' and have chosen it, or she may not or have little control over it.

16. Damn, plutoboy at wonkette is 100% right
Of course there is no plan to attack Iran.......this is the Bush administration we're talking about. The closest thing they have to plans are the post-it notes that remind Dubya to do things like use toilet paper, chew with his mout closed, and breathe.

That's a damn good point.

There's probably a whole generation of DUers who have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about. She's as ugly outside as she is inside.
