So, you would think that regarding a situation like the Haditha killings (where our U.S. marines are accused of killing innocent Iraqi civilians without provocation), that the Commander-in-Chief would have learned of this awful tragedy, from a Presidential Daily Brief (PDB).  You might suspect that he would have even learned of it, from the Secretary of Defense. 

Well, you would be wrong.

It seems as though our cluessless Commander-in-Chief learned of the murder of innocent Iraqis by U.S. Marines, after reporters started inquiring about it.  When White House Press Secretary Tony Snow was asked when Idiot Son Bush learned of the Haditha murders, he said "When a Time reporter first made the call."

This level of incompetence on the part of the Administration is really frightening.

When I read of this account of how Bush supposedly learned of the Haditha murders, I was reminded of a similar occurence.

Last year, Idiot Son Bush expressed surprise and over a bill that HE SIGNED INTO LAW, which would require American, Canadian, and Mexican citizens to show passports in order to enter the United States.  Even though he signed the bill into law, he says he learned about the re-entry requirement, after he read the newspaper.  He told the American Society of Newspaper Editors "When I first read that in the newspaper, about the need to have passports, for particularly the day crossings that take place — about a million, for example in the state of Texas — I said, 'What's going on here?"'
