I had Fox News on in the background late this afternoon (“Fair and balanced, as always”) and heard discussion of a great one-liner from Colin Powell. He was approached walking down some hall by an Iraqi journalist who asked him to comment on the fact that only 15% of American young people even know where Iraq is. Powell fired right back without breaking stride, “Unlucky for you, they’re all in the Marines.”

Great cartoon. Powell obviously saw it and remembered it. More power to him. (If it were I, I would be prouder of myself for remembering something from last December than thinking up a good one on the spot.)
What’s geography good for, anyway?

A commenter to a post on this episode at Sgt. Stryker also saw the Fox News report of Powell’s comment and jotted it down, planning to blog it later.
