Although it seems like a fragment, this is one of those pieces of evidence that explains the larger picture in exquisite detail. If * didn’t know that there were Sunni’s and Shias then he didn’t know anything; he didn’t know about the British creation of Iraq; he didn’t know the nature of the fundamental conflict between Sunni and Shia Moslems in the Middle East since it is largely played out in Iraq; he didn’t know squat. We are so screwed. Thank you James Baker, Katherine Harris, Kenneth Blackwell, Jeb Bush, and all the other “election helpers” for installing this stunner as our “chief.”

Former Ambassador to Croatia Peter Galbraith is claiming President George W. Bush was unaware that there were two major sects of Islam just two months before the President ordered troops to invade Iraq, RAW STORY has learned.
In his new book, The End of Iraq: How American Incompetence Created A War Without End, Galbraith, the son of the late economist John Kenneth Galbraith, claims that American leadership knew very little about the nature of Iraqi society and the problems it would face after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein.
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.
