Bear in mind over 100 Canadians have died in Afghanistan, because Bush took the American army into Iraq… and the American army needed help in Afghanistan.

Not that Fox News is widely renowned for their objectivity, but they recently b*tch slapped their neighbors to the north by calling them stupid, effeminate, cowardly, and lazy - among other adjectives.  Just watch it for yourself:

NEW Yorkers were left a little confused overnight as more than a million copies of a fake newspaper were handed out by a team of pranksters rallied through the web.

“Iraq War Ends” read the headline of a fake “special edition” of The New York Times, dated July 4, 2009, which was handed out to commuters as they rushed for work.

Since last week’s historic election of Barack Obama’s as the next U.S. president, a number of high-profile Europeans have been sticking their feet in their mouths while commenting on the situation (Well, some were being outright racist). For example, a leading Austrian television journalist said - on camera - that he “wouldn’t want the Western world to be directed by a black man.” The Italian Prime Minister tried to joke about it, by describing Obama as “young, handsome and even suntanned.” The National Democratic Party of Germany ran the headline, “Africa Conquers the White House,” on their website. And these aren’t even the extremists. Read more…

Update: the source of the leak is a hoax, but the fact remains: for the GOP to send up John McCain and Sarah Palin to the batter’s box after George Bush’s disastrous tenure shows how reckless the POW (Party of War) is.  I do not see how America’s shifting demographics will allow for the GOP to remain a viable party…  

Original post:

Remember: the GOP is the Party of War… so if their second in command does not know the basics, that is a dangerous thing. From Martin Eisenstadt, the leak who told FOX that Palin was clueless on geography, let alone geo-politics:

So yes, to be clear, last week I was the one who leaked those things to a producer at Fox News who works with Cameron. Carl and his producers are good guys, and I don’t want them to have to worry about protecting their sources (and going through the wringer ala Judith Miller or Matt Cooper) on something like this.

As you know, I was one of the foreign policy advisers on the McCain campaign who worked with Randy Scheunemann to help prep Sarah on her debate with Joe Biden. Did we outright give her a geography quiz when we started the prep? No, of course not. But yes, in the context of the prep, it slowly became apparent that her grasp of basic geo-political knowledge had major gaps. Could she have passed a multiple choice test about South Africa or NAFTA. Probably. But it was clear that she simply didn’t have the ease of knowledge that we come to expect from a major party political candidate. Other slights came up, too: Not knowing the difference between Hezbollah and Hamas. Or the difference between the Shiites and Suni. Or when it came to international terrorist organizations, knowing that the IRA was in Northern Ireland, and ETA in Spain.

Read more. The point is, we saw that happens when someone runs the country without knowing that Iraq has Sunnis and Shia and they don’t get along. I don’t think we can afford to have more of these types of people in charge… yet both John McCain and Sarah Palin did not seem to know this very basic fact.
