Behind Allawi's comment lies a tale of intrigue and indecision by the United States over whether to mount a covert-action program to confront Iran's political meddling. Such a plan was crafted by the Central Intelligence Agency and then withdrawn -- because of opposition from an unlikely coalition that is said to have included Rep. Nancy Pelosi, who was then House minority leader, and Condoleezza Rice, then national security adviser.
One, Pres. Fredo doesn't listen to Pelosi now, when she is Speaker of the House but Ignatius wants us to believe he listened to her in 2005. Two, it's well known that Cheney and Rumsfeld ran our foreign policy, not "Nice Shoes" Rice.
