I read it better than you did. And understood it. Nyah nyah.
I don't have time to argue this out today as I am working on my NaNoWriMo novel and can only sit for limited amounts of time at the computer since I have to keep my feet up (because of edema from my atrial afib) but I will say only this much more. Because someone else steals work or words, does not justify it for the next person in line. So Bush stole the story from someone who stole the story from someone who stole the story. Jeez. You are ASSUMING Karzai told the story to Bush. Assumption is not fact.
