The perils of not engaging brain fully before speaking. If you add one little word what he said makes sense, without it, he is an ignorant boob.

A plausible explanation for Perry's gaffe, but not completely convincing: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq are the first few oil-producers that come to mind who're allies of ours.
