'Tactical Errors' Made In Iraq, Rice Concedes...

[bridgit]

'BLACKBURN, England, March 31 -- Greeted by antiwar protesters at almost every stop in a tour of a working-class region of England, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Friday that the Bush administration has probably made thousands of "tactical errors" in its handling of the Iraq war. But she defended the invasion as the right strategic decision.

Iraqi President Saddam Hussein "wasn't going anywhere without military intervention," Rice told a crowd of British foreign policy experts in the clubhouse of the local soccer stadium here. And, she said, "you were not going to have a different Middle East with Saddam Hussein at the center of it."'

1. Saddam Hussein wasn't going anywhere... well now THERE was an

opporunity for an ambitious travel agent.

He should have been sent brochures of various vacation hot spots.

And now it's too late.
