Karen Hughes to repair poor U.S. image abroad...?

Ms. Hughes, installed at the State Department, plans to set up "rapid response" teams to counter bad news and defend administration policies around the globe.

The teams, to be set up in the Middle East and elsewhere, are one of several initiatives being prepared by Ms. Hughes, who took office this week as under secretary of public diplomacy. The initiatives are part of what Bush administration officials say will be an aggressive drive to repair America's poor image abroad, particularly in Muslim countries.

aw, c'mon karen... the biggest thing that needs to happen before the u.s. image can even begin to improve is your boss leaving office... at this point, any yadda-yadda you or your "rapid response" teams can dish out is just peeing in the ocean... sorry, but it's W-A-AY beyond YOU, kiddo...
