'US has shown arrogance and stupidity in Iraq'
2006-10-22
Alberto Fernandez, director of public diplomacy in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs at the State Department, said in an interview aired Saturday on al-Jazeera television that the United States had shown "arrogance" and "stupidity" in Iraq but was now willing to talk to any group, outside of al-Qaida, to further reconciliation in the country. A senior Bush administration official questioned whether the remarks had been translated correctly. "Those comments obviously don't reflect our position," said the official.
Fernandez can be dumped at any time.

#4  Once muzzies have consolidated their gains through the reconquista in Spain, Senor Fernandez's new job title will be director of public diplomacy for the Bureau of Andalucia. Appropriate, no?
