Instead of a mandated two years of Contemporary Civilization, English, Foreign Language, Mathematics, Art History,Music and Science elective totally 30 credits, they can opt for Underwater Basketweaving, Advanced Text Messaging, and American Idol Honors. She likely believes that Fidel Castro was the founder of an American firm which manufactures convertible sofas.

So much for being accused of winning or losing. The sad part about the surge is that it appears to have quelled the violence on some level (until we do pull out all of our troops which is a nightmare for another president), which just shows you how flawed the administration's "war on the cheap" strategy was from the start. Unfortunately, no one at the White House nor the Pentagon read Colin Powell's written materials where he repeatedly emphasized employing overwhelming force in military battle. Now, Powell has been tossed in the garbage bin of history where Bush will soon join him. Bush can’t even define what victory in Iraq means. So much for being accused of winning or losing.

That was the logic behind the "surge." As for Bush and Perino (the blond bimbo version of Scott McClellan)...they're a perfect match. He struggles to read My Pet Goat, and she has no idea what the Cuban Missile Crisis was about. "I guess it had something to do with Cuba, and with missiles," she perceptively noted. Where do we GET these people??? Bush has planned all along to pass the Iraq mess on to his successor…just as long as he couldn’t be accused of “losing” the war.
