EXACTLY! Actually, most of them are no smarter or knowledgeable than we are!! You won't believe this about the recently named Democrat head of the Congressional Committee. Mind you---ALL of us on the Board knew the answer to this question, but this guy didn't!!!! Freaking amazing:
""Reyes stumbled when I asked him a simple question about al Qaeda at the end of a 40-minute interview in his office last week," Stein writes for CQ. "Members of the Intelligence Committee, mind you, are paid $165,200 a year to know more than basic facts about our foes in the Middle East."
"The dialogue went like this:
Al Qaeda is what, I asked, Sunni or Shia?
"Al Qaeda, they have both," Reyes said. "You’re talking about predominately?"
"Sure," I said, not knowing what else to say.
"Predominantly — probably Shiite," he ventured.
He couldn’t have been more wrong.
Al Qaeda is profoundly Sunni."
