Sadr flees, fearing surge, just in time for House no-confidence vote. Best of the Web Today BY JAMES TARANTO Wednesday, February 14, 2007 The Associated Press brings some excellent news from Iraq: <<< Anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr fled Iraq for Iran ahead of a security crackdown in Baghdad and the arrival of 21,500 U.S. troops sent by President Bush to quell sectarian violence, a senior U.S. official said Tuesday. Al-Sadr left his Baghdad stronghold some weeks ago, the official said, and is believed to be in Tehran, where he has family. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss U.S. monitoring activities, said fractures in al-Sadr's political and militia operations may be part of the reason for his departure. >>> Clever of them to announce this on the eve of the House vote of no confidence in President Bush's new Iraq strategy. A headline in the La Crosse (Wis.) Tribune reads, "Hawks Found 'Walking Around Like Chickens' Flying High Again." We're tired of the "chickenhawk" canard, but all the same it's nice to be winning again. opinionjournal.com news.yahoo.com lacrossetribune.com
