In reply to the discussion: Susan Rice Withdraws Own Name from Consideration for Secretary of State [View all]BainsBane

There was no reverse psychology. And if you're going to hold people responsible for Iraq, there is a lot of blame to go around, including for John Kerry. He actually played a role in bringing us to war with Iraq by voting for it. Rice was not in the administration or congress then. The Secretary of State carries out the policies of the President. '
How nice you find solidarity with John McCain and his pals on this issue. I do not.
The point about the administration's misinformation is absurd, and I'm not going to rehash the obvious here. You should know better.

Good. Even by the rather warlike standards of the U.S. foreign policy establishment, she's a hawk.
