Should a President know how to pronounce "Abu Ghraib?" - Bush has 4 ways |
|
And they are ALL wrong.... Bush is beyond pathetic. Bush saying it three wrong ways within 60 seconds: http://homepage.mac.com/dcaolo/.Music/abu_what.mp3"Abu-Ga-rayb" or "Abu-Garum" or "Aby gara" And finally: http://mp3.dubyaspeak.com/abu2.mp3"abu-gareff"

Bush just doesn't care enough to learn the name of the prison where Americans mistreated Iraqis.

2. No, but he should know how to pronounce "nuclear" |
|
Foreign language pronunciation is not necessary. I have no idea how Abu Ghraib should be pronounced.

3. Well, perhaps not with perfect Arabic intonation... |
|
...but all the media long ago settled on "Ahboo Grabe" as the Americanized way to pronounce it, and I do think Bush ought to be able to manage that.

4. If you were PRESIDENT and briefed on the situation many times by aides |
|
and THEN you didn't know how to pronounce it...well, I'd be really glad to have that person's finger on the button.
:eyes:
With Bush, it shows something WORSE than ignorance...it shows laziness and a lack of CONCERN on important issues.
