Visiting Missouri, one of the leading presidential contenders had this to say about the lack of foreign language translators in the military:
"We only have a certain number of them, and if they are all in Iraq, then it’s harder for us to use them in Afghanistan.”
This was a serious statement from a serious candidate. Do you think we ought to point out to Mr. Obama that in Iraq they speak the Arabic and Kurdish languages, while in Afghanistan they speak Pashto, Farsi, and numerous other, non-Arabic languages?
C'mon, dude! Surely you or someone in that traveling circus around you thought about this. Think before you say something.
When I heard the sound bite I couldn't stop laughing.
If you'll listen to these people vying for the highest office in the land, you'll quickly discover they really don't know much more than a 5th grader.
Disclaimer: Please excuse what may seem to be a blatant political post today. I don't mean for it to be. It's really just my attempt to point out the ignorance of those supposed to be the wisest among us. Jesus said in Matthew11:19, "... wisdom is vindicated by her deeds."
