On Saturday, a reporter asked Rice to give examples of the mistakes.
"First of all, I meant it figuratively, not literally. Let me be very clear about that. I wasn't sitting around counting," she replied. "The point I was making to the questioner ... is that, of course, if you've ever made decisions, you've undoubtedly made mistakes.
"The important thing is to get the big strategic decisions right, and that I am confident that the decision to overthrow Saddam Hussein and give the Iraqi people an opportunity for peace and for democracy is the right decision."
"The other point I was making to the questioner is that I'm enough of a historian to know that things that looked brilliant at the moment turn out in historical perspective to be mistakes, and the things that look like mistakes turn out to have been right decisions."
Too late lady! We heard you and we agreed with you. There is no question that this administration made thousands of mistakes, and in my opinion continue to make hundreds more everyday.
I really believe that there are very few educated people in this country who do not recognize that this administration sold us a defective product using incomplete information, and possibly even outright lying to us. To make this admission and then to try and retract it is just another example of the cowardice that these people demonstrate on a daily basis. They hide behind their words while sending young men and women into harms way based on their supposed confidence in their mission.
If a soldier is injured or killed by an IED they do not get to take it back the next day or pretend that it did not happen. If they live, they live with their decision to drive down that road for the rest of their lives. The least we can ask from This White House is that they live with the consequences of their mistakes as well.
