Condoleezza Rice Leads New White House Offensive On America

The White House went on the offensive today on the issue of Iraq's weapons program, as President Bush's national security adviser brushed aside calls for an independent investigation into pre-war intelligence.

The adviser, Condoleezza Rice, said Saddam Hussein had contemptuously rejected many opportunities to tell the world about the weapons of mass destruction that he had or did not have. And she asserted, as top Bush aides have done repeatedly, that the ouster of Mr. Hussein was a good thing.

el - I often have had the choice with Rice with thinking she is stupid or she believes the American people are stupid. For many reasons I go with the latter.
