When Your National Security Guy Doesn't Know the Difference Between Tibet and Nepal

Last year's Miss Teen South Carolina isn't the only American in need of a lesson in geography. Stephen Hadley, the US National Security Advisor, seemingly doesn't know the difference between Tibet and Nepal. In an interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC News' "This Week," when asked about President George W. Bush's attending the Beijing Olympics and his reaction to recent anti-Chinese/pro-Tibetan protests, Hadley refers to "Nepal" a handful of times but doesn't once mention Tibet.

Of course everyone makes mistakes, but this man is in charge of national security. Hadley has pretty much avoided the spotlight since following in Condoleeza's footsteps and taking his current gig. I guess now we know why. Video after the jump. [via; photo of Tibet map: o2ma]
