“I thought the Iraqis were Muslims!” George W. Bush Feb 2003

[Botany]

This must have been posted and I have heard this story but still .... :banghead:

http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/Ambassador_claims_shortly_before_invasion_Bush_0804.html

<Ambassador claims shortly before invasion, Bush didn't know there were two sects of Islam.

In his new book, The End of Iraq: How American Incompetence Created A War Without End, Galbraith, the son of the late economist John Kenneth Galbraith, claims that American leadership knew very little about the nature of Iraqi society and the problems it would face after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein.

A year after his “Axis of Evil” speech before the U.S. Congress, President Bush met with three Iraqi Americans, one of whom became postwar Iraq’s first representative to the United States. The three described what they thought would be the political situation after the fall of Saddam Hussein. During their conversation with the President, Galbraith claims, it became apparent to them that Bush was unfamiliar with the distinction between Sunnis and Shiites.>

Time to drink.

1. "National Security Adviser" (LOL) Condi Rice didn't know who Osama was

until Richard Clarke had to tell her. And even then she ignored the al Quaeda problem.

That joins classics like "I didn't know you had black people too" in Brazil. And our friends the "Pakis" about Pakistanis. Will this nightmare please end!!! :yoiks:

5. Don't forget "Russia is big, China is too." @the G 8 meeting

7. If he didn't exist, we'd have to make him up.

Or maybe not.

[Botany]

8. No you could find him @ any bar in town.

Say about 4:30 PM after being on the road for his sales job and listening to
Rush & stuff like that all day. He then goes home and flips on Fox.

11. From dubya speak

DUBYA: I'm looking forward to the feast you're going to have tonight. I understand I may have the honor of slicing the pig. ...I'm optimistic we can still get something done on the Doha Round. It's going to take work, but G8 is a good place for us to continue the dialogue, and we will. And I guess that's about all -- we discussed a lot of things, in other words. And thank you for having me. I'm looking forward to that pig tonight. ...
REPORTER: On both of these. Does it concern you that the Beirut airport has been bombed? And do you see a risk of triggering a wider war? And on Iran, they've, so far, refused to respond. Is it now past the deadline, or do they still have more time to respond?
DUBYA: I thought you were going to ask me about the pig.
REPORTER: I'm curious about that, too.
DUBYA: The pig? I'll tell you tomorrow after I eat it.
