The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff briefed the president this morning.
He told President Obama that 2 Brazilian soldiers were killed in Iraq . To everyone's surprise, all the color drained from Obama's face. Then he collapsed into his desk chair, head in his hands, visibly shaken, almost in tears. Finally, as he attempted to compose himself, he whispered,
“Just how many is a brazilian?†This is not surprising, since he obviously has no understanding of billion or trillion, either.
