"My President is NEVER , EVER, wrong!" > Condoleezza Rice

WASHINGTON -- U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice defended on Friday Iraq war policy worked out by the Bush administration, saying "we ought to stick to it.".
"I understand people's concern. I understand people's impatience," but 'we ought to stick' to the troop buildup strategy that President George W. Bush announced in January," Rice said in a TV interview.

She said that people should wait until September when commanding Gen. David Petraeus and U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker are scheduled to deliver a new assessment of conditions in Iraq.

"Let's look at the whole picture,... We'll have a much better view of that whole picture when Gen. Petraeus and (U.S. Ambassador) Ryan Crocker report in September," the secretary said.
