It's become almost routine for members of the American press
to throw dumb or leading questions at members of the Bush
administration.
Maybe that's one of the reasons why Secretary of State Colin
Powell seemed so well prepared for the shifty question recently
hurled at him by an Iraqi reporter.
According to the New York Post, one of Saddam's newshounds
asked Powell, "Isn't it true that only 13% of young Americans
can locate Iraq on a map?"
"That may be true," Powell countered. "You're probably right.
But unfortunately for you, all 13% are Marines."
