Blundering at the Pentagon

"Shortly after the defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, confused Afghanistan with Iraq at a news conference, the US embassy in Bucharest had to apologise to the president of Romania, Ion Iliescu, for the Pentagon decorating his table with a Russian flag when he lunched with Mr Rumsfeld earlier this week."

2. The question to ask, IMHO

is whether this shit has been going on all the time - but only now making the news?
