1000s of mistakes made, but we still got em! yeehaw

Post by JulesWinnfield »

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has admitted the US has made thousands of tactical errors in Iraq, but said it was right to remove Saddam Hussein.

Many shouted "Condoleezza Rice go home" as she entered a local school. :olo:

I wonder if she actually believes this stuff, or if she's just a PR shill.

I remember quite a bit earlier you were a supporter of the administration and agreed with a lot they were doing.

Can you tell me what it was that was the tipping point for you? What do you think it was that turned you off to the current administration's way of doing business?

During her speech Ms Rice touched on a number of key issues of US foreign policy, saying that:

* no-one should doubt America's commitment to justice and the rule of law

* the US had no desire "to be the world's jailer", and that Washington wanted "the terrorists that we capture to stand trial"

* the cause of advancing freedom was the greatest hope for peace today

* the use of force "is not what is on the agenda now" in the stand-off over Iran's nuclear programme - adding that President Bush "never takes any option off the table"

* the US and Britain should continue to have "extremely close" ties relations and be united in the fight against terrorism
