Here We Go Again…Rice Mentions Zarqawi, Grant in Same Paragraph

by Stephan Tawney | 1:54 pm 

Oy. Here’s what Condi said:

He was diabolically brilliant. I think he was an outstanding organizer, I think he had a kind of strategic sense, and I don’t think the follow-on leadership has been quite as good. So when you hear people say, “You know, well, if you kill one of them, they’ll just replace him with another leader,” remember that that’s like saying, you know, if you take out Robert E. Lee or Ulysses S. Grant, well, they’ll just replace them with another leader. It’s - there are people who are better at this than others and I think the loss of Zarqawi, they - they started to make more mistakes.

It wasn’t even a freakin metaphor this time; it was a simile. Think Progress, of course, has to try to capitalize on this, as Allah says, manufactured controversy.
