Condi Rice is "proud" that the US attacked Iraq.

This kind of insane talk is why the Republicans must be removed from office.

Condi now feigns concern for Iraqis and how Saddam treated them, despite the fact that the US were supporting Iraq when Saddam was gassing the Kurds. And supplying him with weapons and satellite images during the Iran-Iraq war which she now claims to detest.

The truth was that this war was sold, not on Iraq's liberation, but on the lie that Saddam had WMD which he might pass on to al Qaeda.

But Condi wants us all to know that she's "proud" of that intervention, an intervention which has turned out out to be one of the the worst foreign policy decisions in the history of her country.

And she remains "proud" even as she openly admits that the sanctions, which killed half a million Iraqi babies, had little effect at all on the regime. There were many of us arguing that at the time, but people like Condi simply were not listening. I find it slightly shameful that she can now so glibly admit what was so vociferously denied at the time.
