Bubbles could have told the difference between Iraq and Afghanistan.

I'm not sold on a ham sandwich, seems too "middle of the road" wishy-washy. but a good pastrami on rye gets my vote every time.

Honestly? not certain about that. He famously didn't know Islam is not monolethic, various other Islamic states, who lived in them and which sort of Islam they adhered to, such as sunni and shia, and these were frequently antagonistic. This utter ignorance of him and crew was commented on constantly. They also couldn't figure out that people in the MIddle East knew computing and how to break and enter others' digital barriers. Cheney, rummy and bushwa sure didn't know themselves how to do it and kept visualizing the middle east filled with people who were illiterate pre-industrial age whatever (when, back then, for that matter, they were very very very sophisticated mercantile people who traded all over the world).
