As Huckabee becomes more popular, his foreign policy naivety is becoming equally more popular.
------------------------------------------------------
Kuhn: I don't know to what extent you have been briefed or been able to take a look at the NIE report that came out yesterday ...
Huckabee: I'm sorry?
Kuhn: The NIE report, the National Intelligence Estimate on Iran. Have you been briefed or been able to take a look at it ?
Huckabee: No.
Kuhn: Have you heard of the finding?
Huckabee: No.
------------------------------------------------------
The story of Huckabee's ignorance of major foreign policy issues (even I knew about the NIE report, and I'm a college student) is eclipsed by further gaffes about Pakistan. Following his acknowledgment of not knowing about the NIE report, Huckabee went on MSNBC's Morning Joe in order to explain away his 'misunderstanding'. However, while trying to cast aside his own mis-statements, Huckabee manages to make himself look even more ignorant.
Now that we've bungled up foreign policy so much during the Bush administration, do we really need another ignorant President?
