'Iraqis Are Muslims!'

Another example to illustrate how clueless President Bush was going into Iraq.

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.

Galbraith reports that the three of them spent some time explaining to Bush that there are two different sects in Islam--to which the President allegedly responded, “I thought the Iraqis were Muslims!”

The man has a hard time grasping that their are different sects in the the Islamic faith. Is he even aware that all Christians don't follow the same doctrine? Seriously.

Bush don't need knowledge. He makes decisions based on his gut.
