While Bush Tantrums That People Don't Like His Plan, He Makes Matters Worse, Sends Rice

I forget who it was this week who said that Bush was about to send - along with far more troops and tons more money to be spent badly - two of America's least effective weapons into Iraq: Patriot missiles and Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice.

Well, Rice is on her way to Baghdad; the results are apt to be substantially less funny than the Bob Hope-Bing Crosby vehicle, "The Road to Baghdad".

God help us and God help the Iraqis. As I have noted too many times before, her notion of diplomacy is to make mean faces at anyone who questions her president.
