Rice won't rule out troops in Iraq in 10 years

Rice says what many of us knew.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Wednesday refused to rule out U.S. troops still being in Iraq in 10 years or the possibility that the United States could use military force against neighboring Syria and Iran.

Queen Lizard pulled no punches - I can't believe this was scripted. Now if the MSM would report this, the public will be outraged.

Republican Sens. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska and Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island were among several lawmakers who asked Rice whether the Bush administration was considering military action against Iran and Syria, and asked whether the president would circumvent congressional authorization if the White House chose that option.
"I will not say anything that constrains his authority as commander in chief," Rice said.
The lawmakers' queries followed Rice's earlier remarks that: "Syria and, indeed, Iran must decide whether they wish to side with the cause of war or with the cause of peace."

Clear from her answer that "circumventing" is not even a question, and attacking Syria and Iran is probably happening as I write.

With President Bush's poll numbers dragged down by public discomfort over Iraq, Rice was seeking to reassure lawmakers-- who are feeling the heat from their war-weary constituents-- that U.S. policies toward Iraq are sound.

With her comments, I don't think she was too successful - more war - more lives - more money - more lies. Won't be a boost for the polls Condi - looking for a new job?
