Someone needs a two-sentence summary of Politics 101 for Dummies
or "Where is Joe when you need him?"
John McCain again confused Shiites and Sunnis during today's Senate Armed Services hearing:
JOHN MCCAIN: "There are numerous threats to security in Iraq and the future of Iraq. Do you still view al-Qaeda in Iraq as a major threat?"
GEN. DAVID PETRAEUS: "It is a major threat. Though it is certainly as not as major a threat as it was say, 15 months ago."
MCCAIN: "Certainly not an obscure sect of the Shias overall?
PETRAEUS: "No, sir."
MCCAIN: "Or Sunnis or anybody else then?
Evidently, the extreme complexity of the situation is just too much for McCain--the idea that there are TWO MAJOR RELIGIOUS SECTS THAT ARE IN CONFLICT. This is, after all, the one major theme driving U.S. involvement in Iraq and Iran at the moment, the general theme behind our support for the various dictatorships in the region (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, and so on) and our hostility towards Iran. Evidently, two pieces of information are too much to juggle within the mind of McCain who is paraded in front of us as the political maven of the moment, intent on getting . . . them bad guys over der. We have definitely found someone to continue the Bush legacy, appealing to the lowest common IQ within the U.S. gene pool.
