Washington DC - The National Iranian American Council is demanding the immediate dismissal of Debra Cagan, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Coalition Affairs for a comment she made to a visiting foreign delegation: “I hate all Iranians.”

Americans of Iranian descent have been particularly alarmed by Cagan’s remark.

“To hear a government official say ‘I hate all Iranians’ gives Iranian Americans the impression that they are under attack by their government,” said NIAC Board Member Prof. Mohamad Navab. “No minority group in the United States should be subjected to this type of treatment by a US government official. It goes against everything this country stands for.”

NIAC has contacted the office of the Secretary of Defense to discuss the matter and convey the concerns of the Iranian-American community.
“If she is allowed to stay in her post, the US Defense Department and the Bush Administration will have condoned hate toward minorities in this country,” said NIAC Board Member Dokhi Fassihian. “Her behavior has brought disgrace to the US government. She must be immediately relieved of her duties.”

7. What kind of event?

An audition for the next Matrix film?

A "How Much Hair Gel Can You Possibly Fit on Your Head" competition?

A BDSM convention?

Hell's Orientation for the newly deceased?

12. The red leatherette is a nice start

But the Maltese cross and oral discharge blow the whole thing.
If were were to substitue a hood and ball gag we're be in business.

[Riktor]

19. Something tells me...

... she's more interested in being the dominant partner. Give her a whip and an hour alone with Rush Limbaugh in a gimp suit and I'd bet she'd be happier than pigs in shit.

[nickyt]

14. Ah ha, Riktor! Too funny!

8. More...

Debra Cagan, was also a political advisor for both SACT (?) and USJFCOM (U.S. Joint Forces Command).

I don't know if she still retains those positions.

9. It's a Romulan!

When K.O. put her picture up, my dh and I both said 'It's a Romulan!' Then we had to link pinkies and do the chicken dance but it doesn't change our reaction.

The Romulans are here...and they dress really bad.

24. Small correction.

It was a National Day celebration at the Hungarian Embassy in DC. See here: http://www.huembwas.org/News2/56Emb2005.htm

It explains the weird pendant, too:

"On the occasion of the National Day, Ambassador Simonyi presented the Officer's Cross Order of Merit of the Republic of Hungary upon Ms. Eva Pusta and Mike Haltzel, and the Commander's Cross Order of Merit to Debra Cagan."

WTF these things are I don't know--let alone the bizarre choice of attire--although it kind of goes with the decoration.

Should add, of course, that firing Cagan should be a slam dunk--"You've harmed the situation terribly. You're fired." End of issue. In ChimpyWorld, of course, she'll probably get the Medal of Freedom shortly after resigning to become a commentator for Faux Snooze and a Heritage Foundation senior fellow. :grr:

5. The "Deputy Assistant Secretary for Coalition Affairs"?

With a title like that, she's probably just a glorified office clerk or something.

[Riktor]

10. The Dwight Schrute of the Pentagon, no doubt (nt)

[Doctor_J]

23. Or Karen Hughes's "assistant"

a Jeff Gannon for the XX chromosomers

11. Then enlist, Debra. They way Chimpy and Dickie are going, you'll be

able to go to Iran and shoot some eye-rayneeuhns. Of course they'll shoot back at you.

13. She must have borrowed her Nazi-Dominatrix clothes

from Condi's closet.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

15. What is with the choker?

Every picture I have seen of her, she is wearing a variation on that choker.

This is not something one sees every day and my eye for whacked detail has picked up on this interesting anomaly.

[Demit]

16. To draw your attention away from the five o'clock shadow?

And the huge hands?

[otohara]

17. Maybe She's A Man

and it's to cover up his adams apple. Being a republican, she must hide in closet.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

18. What, everyone you know doesn't wear a German Iron Cross on their leather jacket?

Can't people just use their eyes, and common sense, and recognize these war mongering FREAKS in this administration for what they are?

Shit it doesn't get much more brazen than this lady. What a disgrace.

[NYC]

25. Likely,

it's to cover an Adam's apple.

[leftchick]

20. Is (he/she?) A Cagan or a Kagan??

is there a relation to the AEI Kagans?

[Orsino]

21. Rhetorical question: why hasn't * already forced an apology?

Or canned the offender?

I know, I know. It's because this is exactly the sort of escalation * wants.

[IDemo]

22. Too busy writin' up his speech for her presidential medal of freedom
