Druze leader Walid Jumblatt described the deputy defense secretary as a "virus" who needed to be destroyed, a day after the American emerged unscathed from a guerrilla rocket attack on the fortified Baghdad hotel where he was staying.

Mr. Jumblatt then announced he was running for President of the United States as a Democrat.

Chris
