The trouble with diplomacy *eyeroll*

Bush strikes new levels of dumb.

'You know, the problem with diplomacy is it takes a while to get something done …'

Across the world, every diplomat and politician just dropped their collective jaws, thinking 'no shit, Sherlock' in thirty different languages.

Wow. I never knew how clueless he was. He's been doing this job for five and half years and doesn't even get the job description? I don't know about you but if I've been in a job for five years, no matter how little I know about it initially, I'd have figured out the basics by now.

That's like a financial analyst saying: "The problem with the stock market is that it goes up and down."

A backpacker: "The problem with backpacking is you have to carry everything with you."

A climber: "The problem with rock climbing is it's hard on the hands."

Driving: "The problem with driving a car is you have to pay attention."


The rest of Bush's quote reads that while "acting alone, you can move quickly."

wildernessguru: "This is an administration that believes we can do anything with the barrel of a gun."

Yes. I saw a great bumper sticker about this yesterday. We're making enemies faster than we can kill them.
