"The chief U.S. military spokesman in Iraq said Wednesday that Muqtada al-Sadr has left the country and is believed to be in Iran, despite denials from the radical Shiite cleric's supporters. Maj. Gen. William Caldwell declined to comment on the reasons al-Sadr had left the country or give more details," the AP reports. Typical of terrorist leaders and the like: They encourage their followers to die for the cause, but at the first hint of danger, they run to protect their own lives. Which is why Israel's policy of targeted assassinations was so successful: Terrorist leaders care for their own lives. No standing and fighting for them.
