Persistent patterns of incompetence

From IRIN News, a U.N. publication, an interview with Samir Sumaidy, Bush's Iraq's new Minister of Interior: (via The Agonist)

Q: What is your background for the job?

A: I'm a total novice, and the best thing to do is to admit it immediately. I have management ability. I think that is the main thing I bring to this task with the help of Iraqi experts and (US-led administrators) the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA). I'm looking at this in terms of management and the best way to marshal the resources available for a specific task.
