Rice: US has made mistakes in Iraq
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday she is certain the United States has made mistakes in the Iraq war, but the world will have to wait until she is out of government to learn what she thinks they were.

"As to whether the United States has made mistakes: of course, I'm sure we have," Rice told interviewer Saad Sillawi of the Arabic satellite television station Al-Arabiya. "You can't be involved in something as big as the liberation of a country like Iraq, and all that has happened since, and I'm sure there are things that we could have done differently."

She told Sillawi, however, that the Bush administration is looking ahead, not backward.

1. Her first and biggest mistake is that the loony witch thinks we
'liberated' Iraq. We destroyed it.

4. What hasn't been a mistake?
They'll end up kissing Saddam's ass and begging him to come back.

Daily Show had a hilarious report last night about the "do-over" option. Backsies. Mulligan.

Don't we wish.

6. "the Bush administration is looking ahead, not backward."
Translation: We made mistakes, but we're not learning from them.

14. Condi
call me! You don't have to wait till your out of office to learn your mistakes. I'll give you a list and suggest other places to get others. That woman is totally out of her league. She is no more fit to be national security advisor or Sec.of State than I am. The difference is I'd have turned the jobs down.
