Condi on Iraq: "US will be more than pleased to stand down..."

Condoleezza Rice says world needs to be patient with Iraqis, that they don't want civil war


U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice urged patience as Iraqis work through political differences and said the United States will be "more than pleased to stand down" and leave the country once it can safely stand on its own.

"I think it's time we stop saying that the Iraqis want to devolve into civil war. That's not what they want," Rice told Indonesian parliamentarians and policy makers, wrapping up a two-day visit to the world's most populous Islamic nation.

She faced a series of small but noisy protests outside the heavily fortified U.S. Embassy in Jakarta and tough questions about foreign policy, including when the United States planned to pull its troops out of Iraq .

"I believe that they are going to form a national unity government," she responded.

They are consistently delusional!
