If Governor Palin were the one to call Bosnians “Bosniacs,” as Joseph Biden did tonight, we’d hear absolutely no end of it.

So why is it, I wonder, that nobody is even going to CARE and subject Biden to the kind of mockery that any Republican who said such a thing would be subjected to.

Had Palin said it, I have no doubt that it would be THE story of this debate as far as the MSM and their allies would be concerned.

Bosniacs are real

Bosniacs or Bozniaks

In the English-speaking world, Bosniaks are most commonly known as Bosnian Muslims. Using information from the CIA World Fact Book, it can be seen that Bosnian Muslim is an imprecise synonym for Bosniak, because in Bosnia, Bosniaks make up 48% of the population, but only 40% of the population (of B&H) is Muslim.[26] Bosniaks are also referred to as Bosnians,[27] but this is also imprecise, as the term Bosnians can also be used to denote all inhabitants of Bosnia regardless of ethnic origin (i.e. not only Bosniaks, but also Bosnian Serbs, Bosnian Croats or any other group in the country).

was made by the Obama campaign tonite several minutes after career politician Joe Biden-time made his comment. Time will tell.

“Bosniaks” has always been the correct term, and it was used properly. It’s illogical to mock him for that.

What should be scrutinized is the inaccurate characterization of the cultural assimilation in Bosnia as being revolutionary precedent for how to proceed in other regions.

“In Bosnia elections were won by nationalist parties representing the three major ethnic groups, ten years later, they remain locked into this pattern. Early elections likewise reinforced the divisions in Iraqi society” (Mansfield & Snyder, The National Interest, 2005).

The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him.
