That's what she said. She and the president she works for are insane.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice yesterday rejected a bipartisan panel's recommendation that the United States seek the help of Syria and Iran in Iraq, saying the "compensation" required by any deal might be too high. She argued that neither country should need incentives to foster stability in Iraq.Where in the Iraq Study Group report does it say that we should give Iran a nuclear weapon in exchange for talking with us about Iraq? I'm willing to bet it doesn't. There is no way that Baker, Lee Hamilton, former Senator Simpson or anyone else would have suggested that we give Iran a nuke, or the ability to make a nuke. That is simply an outright lie.
"If they have an interest in a stable Iraq, they will do it anyway," Rice said in a wide-ranging interview with Washington Post reporters and editors. She said she did not want to trade away Lebanese sovereignty to Syria or allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon as a price for peace in Iraq.
So Condi lied about Iraq. Gee, that's a new approach we've never tried before. That's all this administration knows how to do. Lie. They refuse to talk to our enemies because all Bush knows is war. They refuse to respond to good suggestions with legitimate critiques because all they know is lies.
Rice should be held accountable for dismissing the Iraq Study Group's recommendations based on an outrageous lie.
