Our Dear Leader is oblivious to people

Even when our President has his own generals saying that Civil War is a real threat in Iraq, he is happily oblivious. Here is his quote (not taken out of context).

You know, I hear people say, well, civil war this, civil war that.

This is from the white house web site (about 3/4 of the way down the page).

So how many people in Iraq have to die in sectarian (tribal) violence before it is important. Why not just say, blah blah blah.
