George W. pulled Bandar aside. "Bandar, I guess you're the best asshole who knows about the world. Explain to me one thing."You would think this was from a script of the Daily Show but, no, it's from Bob Woodward's book, 'State of Denial'.
"Governor, what is it?"
"Why should I care about North Korea?"
Bandar said he didn't really know. It was one of the few countries that he did not work on for King Fahd.
"I get these briefings on all parts of the world," Bush said, "and everybody is talking to me about North Korea."
"I'll tell you what, Governor," Bandar said. "One reason should make you care about North Korea."
"All right, smart alek," Bush said, "tell me."
"The 38,000 American troops right on the border." ..."If nothing else counts, this counts. One shot across the border and you lose half these people immediately. You lose 15,000 Americans in a chemical or biological or even regular attack. The United State of America is at war instantly."
"Hmmm," Bush said. "I wish those assholes would put things just point-blank to me. I get half a book telling me about the history of North Korea."
This is the man who leads our nation...a man 62 million people voted for. Are there really that many stupid people who vote?
