The headline is the old joke (it really is old already) about George W Bush. But in Iraq of all places, it might just be true:
Iraq’s ambassador to Washington says the Obama administration doesn’t fully grasp the consequences of failing to more aggressively combat a surging al Qaeda threat inside his country, pointedly suggesting that President Obama has been less engaged with Baghdad than his predecessor.
“Less engaged” might be the exact right phrase for the guy who didn’t know Washington couldn’t create shovel-ready jobs, what his own IRS was up to, whether his website would work, who the NSA was tracking, Fast & Furious, and all the rest.
