Rut-roh, Wesley Clark spilled the beans<\/a> on the white House’s effort to ‘mold’ the Middle East:<\/p>\n

About ten days after 9\/11, I went through the Pentagon and I saw Secretary Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Wolfowitz. I went downstairs just to say hello to some of the people on the Joint Staff who used to work for me, and one of the generals called me in. He said, \u201cSir, you\u2019ve got to come in and talk to me a second.\u201d I said, \u201cWell, you\u2019re too busy.\u201d He said, \u201cNo, no.\u201d He says, \u201cWe\u2019ve made the decision we\u2019re going to war with Iraq.\u201d This was on or about the 20th of September. I said, \u201cWe\u2019re going to war with Iraq? Why?\u201d He said, \u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d He said, \u201cI guess they don\u2019t know what else to do.\u201d So I said, \u201cWell, did they find some information connecting Saddam to al-Qaeda?\u201d He said, \u201cNo, no.\u201d He says, \u201cThere\u2019s nothing new that way. They just made the decision to go to war with Iraq.\u201d He said, \u201cI guess it\u2019s like we don\u2019t know what to do about terrorists, but we\u2019ve got a good military and we can take down governments.\u201d And he said, \u201cI guess if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem has to look like a nail.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the world of figuring out who is the dumbest, a significant percentage of Americans<\/a> don’t read books, care about the world, or are engaged in either local or national politics (and they wonder why Ms. Teen South Carolina thinks Iraq and South Africa are in the US).<\/p>\n
