He didn't say that Pakistan was an Arab country. He said "within the Arab world".

Because George Bush is not an expert in the culture, history, economics, politics, or even geography of the Middle East.

He doesn't understand pakistan at all. During the 2000 campaign a reporter asked him who the leader of Pakistan was and he did not know.

And while he was saying that, Pakistan was spreading their nuclear technology all over the world.

Our current president is a mouth-piece of an arguable intelligence. The purpose of a mouth-piece is to echo what has been said to him in laymans terms, this requires some degree of edification and eloquence. Our president lacks both. It is akin to asking a chain-saw juggling circus performer to dice your onions, sure they'll end up in small bits, but I'm not sure you would prefer to use them.

Because Bush is ignorant. Muslim = Arab to him.
