Good crap.

Kevin Drum points out two things: Bush couldn't tell the difference between Shiite and Sunni Muslims "well into his plans for invading Iraq," but Wolfowitz must not have thought the difference was too important because, "there was no history of ethnic strife in Iraq." Disregarding Bush's beliefs because, honestly, it's so believable that it doesn't really come as a surprise, Wolfowitz must be held to a higher standard. As Bush's number two man in the Pentagon, he basically just came right out and said he's never heard of an ethnic minority whose four letter name starts with a "K", ends with a "D", and has a "U" and "R" somewhere inbetween. For over a decade, the US provided this ethnic minority with a no-fly zone to protect them from a murderous dictator who happened to use chemical weapons against them and slaughtered thousands. For Wolfowitz to honestly claim that Iraq had no history of ethnic strife, then he had to have been ignorant to the previous decade of US foreign policy. And if the man is that ignorant, why the hell was he allowed within 500 yards of the Pentagon?

This shit is getting ridiculous. It makes me long for the days where presidential incompetence meant getting a blow job at work.
