Why would Bush cite 'The Quiet American'?

uh ... because neither he nor his speech writers are literate enough to read for content?



by Frank James

In his speech at the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Kansas City today, President Bush summoned up the Alden Pyle CIA agent character of Graham Greene's classic Vietnam novel "The Quiet American" which is essentially a contemplation on the road to hell being paved with good intentions.

I'm not sure he really wanted to go there or why his speech writers would take him there.


There's always more. This time it's in the Chicago Tribune.
