Over the weekend the Associated Press reported the following from Baghdad: “Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice mocked anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr as a coward on Sunday, hours after the radical leader threatened to declare war unless U.S. and Iraqi forces end a military crackdown on his followers.”
“I know he’s sitting in Iran,” Ms. Rice said derisively of al-Sadr. “I guess it’s all-out war for everybody but him. I guess that’s the message: His followers can go to their deaths, and he’s in Iran.”
Substitute “the White House” for “Iran,” and Ms. Rice could be talking about her own boss.
