Bush masters difference between IraN and IraQ (almost)

For the first time in 25 years, the United States has offered to hold direct talks with Iran because, as they say in Texas, "it's nice to get to know a country before you 'mission accomplish' it."

Fellow hard-core Condy fans may remember that the secretary of state suggested that the U.S. knew the difference between Iran and Iraq When asked about the possibility of the U.S. using Greek facilities to intervene in Iraq, COndy bucked the question at hand and answered the question on everybody's mind: Does Bush realize that Iran and Iraq are 2 separate countries? "Let me get right to the crux of the question. The United States of America believes and understands that Iran is not Iraq."

I'm sure everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief. Now we can rest assured that Condy has made Bush some I-R-A-N I-R-A-Q flashcards. He can find the countries on the map. He can almost spell them, accept he keeps writing Iraqu because he just mastered the U after Q rule, and now of course, the president has to deal with the one word to which the rule does not apply, which the president has labeled "no fair."
