How dumb is George W. Bush?

[womzilla]

We now have a quantifiable answer to the most important question of our age.

On August 14, Bush gave a statement at the State Department and then took questions after.

Here is one of the questions and his answer, as highlighted by Juan Cole:

QUESTION: How can the international force, or the United States if necessary, prevent Iran from resupplying Hezbollah?

BUSH: The first step is -- and part of the mandate in the U.N.resolution was to secure Syria's borders. Iran is able to ship weapons to Hezbollah through Syria. . . . In other words, part of the mandate and part of the mission of the troops, the UNIFIL troops, will be to seal off the Syrian border.

And here's Max "MaxSpeak" Sawicky's demonstration of exactly how dumb this means Bush is.





To quote Max's conclusion, "We are so screwed."

But we can go even further than this broad statement, thanks to the wonders of mathematics! The border between Lebanon and Israel is 79 km. The border between Lebanon and Syria is 375 km. From this, we can conclude that George W. Bush is (375/79) = 475% pure stupid.

Now, at this level of dumb, it's hard for the layman to convert numbers like that into practical measures, so I've prepared this handy chart for future reference.
