Last night, Matthews said that the FBI didn't even have an Arabic speaker on staff.

That's right ... nobody at the FBI speaks Arabic.

Resumes are now being taken.

I trust everyone had the pleasure of listening to President Bush's pep talk at Langley today? Apparently it was all a misunderstanding--a little matter of low self-esteem.....

That is very interesting. Even I know a little Arabic. In 1956-58 I was stationed in Lybia at Wheelus Air Base. While there I took a basic course in classical Arabic and managed to converse resonably well for the time that I was there. Unfortunately, that was more than forty years ago, and I have forgotten most of what I knew.
