In this short interview during his Washington visit, Kenya VP Kalonzo "Steven" Musyoka speaks impressively about his participation in the National Prayer Breakfast, about concerns on Kenya's border in Somalia, about the limits of military responses in failing state situations, and about the views of Kenyans toward US President Barack Obama.
This was one of my favorite chats I have done thus far for the New America Foundation and The Washington Note. If you want to watch more of Vice President Musyoka and Kenya National Assembly Speaker Otiato "Kenneth" Marende in a longer program held yesterday at the New America Foundation, follow this clip.

Interestingly, a Prayer Breakfast could accelerate dialogue between Muslim and Christian leadership. In what ways would this help the situation we see in Kenya?
Onward Christian Soldiers, Again
by Philip Giraldi, February 04, 2010
"On Christmas Eve I reported about a group of “Christian
leaders” who were calling on the US government to initiate
harsh sanctions against Iran. Their lobbying contributed to an
overwhelming House of Representatives vote (412-12) in
support of the Iran Refined Petroleum Sanctions Act, which
seeks to cut off Tehran’s importation of refined petroleum
products, amounting to 40% of its energy needs, and bring the
country’s economy to its knees. The supporters of the House
resolution believe that pressuring Iran in that fashion will
somehow convince its government to alter its nuclear energy
policy."

the christian lobby has been indoctrinated by the
neoconservatives...they are the biggest dupes on the american
right.
Sorry, Steve. I get confused as to which blogs permit "colorful language" and which don't.
National Prayer Breakfast?
What.
A.
Joke.
How about a drum circle instead?
Hey Maw -- greetings. I've missed you.
The National Prayer Breakfast is one of those institutions in DC
that just seems to give pols here a chance to make some stuff
happen that they can't make happen responsibly in their normal
work. I give it a pass - because the prayer breakfast existed
before the overly irritating blending of faith and state that really
started with Bill Clinton, got turbo-charged under Bush, and is
in hyper-drive (yes, afraid to say so but true) under Obama.
The Prayer Breakfast is a political deal...yes, with prayers...but
it's certainly nothing like a standard faith based issues meeting
sponsored by the White House nowadays.
I didn't know your comment got censored for language -- but I
have a tough, good couple of folks screening now and then to
keep TWN slightly bright and cheery -- except when i want to
be dark.
best, steve
