He said yesterday that we were short of Arabic translators in Afghanistan because we had to send all of them to Iraq. That's a good thing actually, seeing as how they don't speak Arabic in Afghanistan.
10 page political discussions are fine, just avoid personal attacks.
Remember when McCain slipped up and said Al Qeada instead of insurgents in that interview? Remember all the press coverage that got. On the other hand you have Obama making a statement that actually took a lot of thought, he didn't simply insert an incorrect word, he painted an incorrect scienario and then tried to cover his butt and made another incorrect statement displaying his ignorance of where the translators come from in the first place and exactly what kind of aid is being provided and is needed by the countries. And hardly a word from the major media
Yeah, they aren't in the tank for OBS.
