Rice Regrets Intel Failures
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the intelligence failures that led to the war in Iraq are "high on my list" of regrets, but refused to say that the war would have been waged without the threat of WMD. "You don't have that luxury," she told George Stephanopoulos on ABC's This Week. "You don't. It’s fine to sit and try to play mind games and to try to recreate what we might have done here or there, but that's not the world we were living in in 2003. We were living in a post-9/11 world in which it was very clear that you shouldn't let threats multiple and collect without acting against them." She added, “If you're in a position of authority on Sept. 11 then every day since has been Sept. 12.”
