McCain, who occasionally seems to be campaigning for the presidency, said he had “had it up to here with the Sunnis and Shi’as and all the other tongue-twisting stupid Arab names that I’ve tried to say for the last five years. Those Arabs seem to have a different word for everything. I can’t keep it straight and you can bet the American public can’t keep it straight, either.”

Petraeus reminded McCain that despite decades of American dominance around the world, “people in other countries still keep speaking other languages, and that probably no matter where we invade it’ll be the same problem. Nevertheless, Senator, ever since I read a biography of Teddy Roosevelt, I’d like to charge up San Juan Hill.”

McCain replied that maybe Petraeus could invade Cuba instead.

The hearing ended when Senator Joseph Lieberman suggested that everyone concerned simply buy $100 worth of Israel Bonds and then go out for drinks.
