Score One for Powell

#1 Postby j » Wed Mar 05, 2003 10:41 am

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."

The Left Coast Report doesn't expect that Al Jazeera will be broadcasting that little exchange any time soon.

I'm not a big Powell fan myself but he does bring some balance to the Administration. This one is a classic though! :D
