Rice defends policy on Iraq

Today secretary Rice gave testimony on Iraq to the Senate's Foreign Relations Committee and she really defended US policy regarding Iraq and Afghanestan.
You know what, I really admire her. I think no one could support so much screw up and stand and look so strong. She says, "I have said our strategy is to clear, hold and build. The enemy's strategy is to infect, terrorize and pull down." I think the point is Ms. Rice, how you are going about it is screwed up! Not what. You and the administration didn't have a plan going into Iraq (fine, you made one mistake), but let's do it right, NOW. Signing the constitution means nothing if there is so much corruption in Iraq that you cannot enforce it. This is in addition to the fact that security is so messed up, people can't care less about the constitution which they don't understand what it is and what it can do in the first place.

But the funny (and sad) thing is if the adminstration admits they have made a mistake, the smart public we have think of it as a sign of weakness and will not support whatever the adminstration will do even IF they do the right hing. So the moral of the story is, I don't blame the admininstration for all the mistakes, but the people who don't understand and above all DON'T CARE about that part of the world and don't demand the right action. Pretty sad; we are very stupid.
