Somalia
Thursday Open Thread
In the news...
Mitt Romney says "Freedom requires religion." Then my head explodes in The Soapbox.
Somalia is the unluckiest country in the world.
Joseph Biden lays the smackdown re: Bush and Iran. Quote:
"Are you telling me a president that's briefed every single morning, who's fixated on Iran, is not told back in August that the tentative conclusion of 16 intelligence agencies in the U.S. government said they had abandoned their effort for a nuclear weapon in '03?" Biden asked in a conference call with reporters.
"I refuse to believe that," he added. "If that's true, he has the most incompetent staff in modern American history, and he's one of the most incompetent presidents in modern American history."
Duhh, but it's nice to hear it from a Senator and presidential candidate.
Open thread.
