Strong Black Woman Calls Mookie a Coward

Or why for one day if Condoleezza Rice were running for President she would have my vote.

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.

And she did it in his backyard. Ms. Rice is in Baghdad for some meetings with the Iraqi government and I want to know where this kind of talk has been all these years? The last time somebody in this administration talked with any kind of bravado was when President Bush proclaimed to the world to "Bring it on."

"I know he's sitting in Iran," Rice said dismissively, when asked about al-Sadr's latest threat to lift a self-imposed cease-fire with government and U.S. forces. "I guess it's all-out war for anybody but him," Rice said. "I guess that's the message; his followers can go too their deaths and he's in Iran.

Mookie, the ball is in your court. Will he sit in Iran and order his followers to certain death? A death that can be more appropriately called sacrifice or suicide then it can martyrdom. How long will Iran allow him stay? If Iran kicks him out where will he go? Probably to Syria to huddle with other Middle Eastern cowards.

Liberals will no doubt characterize the statements as inciting Al Sadr to violence, but let's face it, he will resort to violence, sacrificing his brainwashed followers any time he feels it will put him on the front page and in the news. It seems to the new criteria for being a leader in the Muslim world is determined by how many of your fellow Muslims you can get killed upon the guns of the those trying to bring peace or wishing to live in peace. When the Muslims wake up and discover that their so-called leaders only bring them death and nothing else? Of course, having your followers kill themselves does reduce the number you actually have to provide for. So if getting your people to die in some sort of messianic trance is the measure of an Islamic leader, then I guess they all have shrines to Japanese soldiers of World War II and Emperor Hirohito.

Good job, Condi; and if he comes out and comes home to play I hope somewhere he is given a .30 caliber greeting card.
