Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama experienced a rare speaking stumble Thursday, mixing up Iraq and Afghanistan when responding in a YouTube interview to questions challenging the wars in those countries.

The president twice referred to Afghanistan when clearly talking about the situation in Iraq.

He said that the United States would withdraw all combat troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2011 and that combat operations there had ended, which actually describes the situation and policy for Iraq.

It was unclear whether Obama realized his mistake.

Emphasis mine.

I'm sure the dopes on the left will say he is as stupid as Palin is, when she said North instead of South Korea.
Then again she recognized her mistake, and the President of the 57+ states once again didn't.

"rare speaking stumble"? Since when is his stumbling when off-prompter rare?

No kiddin'! That prick couldn't say "shit" with a mouthful, without the TOTUS! He can't speak intelligently at all without other people puttin' words in his mouth from the sidelines!
