But they're all Muslims...

Former U.S. ambassador to Croatia, Peter Galbraith, has put out a new book that contains some of the most articulate and scathing criticism of the Bush administration to date.

Said Galbraith in an interview,, "From the president and the vice president down through the neoconservatives at the Pentagon, there was a belief that Iraq was a blank slate on which the United States could impose its vision of a pluralistic democratic society. The arrogance came in the form of a belief that this could be accomplished with minimal effort and planning by the United States and that it was not important to know something about Iraq.”

He illustrates this point by recounting the first hilarious instance when shrub first learned about the rift between Sunnis and Shiites, something of which he was apparently previously unaware-

"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!'"

Hoo-hoo! Guess they're all the same to you, eh, Georgie? Buddhists all the same, too? What about Christians? They all Evangelicals, or is there some room for the Lutherans and Methodists? Hey, don't forget the Jews! Mel Gibson sure didn't!

Really, man, someone should take you out to Tikrit for a lesson in middle eastern culture. Eat some couscous, dodge a few land mines, watch a handful of childrens' soccer games explode, and then come on back and tell us what you've learned, you little chickenshit.
