Rice urges patience over slow pace of progress in Iraq

1 hour, 46 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (AFP) - US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Monday called for patience as the Iraq war entered its fifth year, vowing that a peaceful, civil society eventually would prevail there.

"It will take some time for the violence to change," Rice told NBC television.

"I would ask the American people to be patient. We have invested a lot. It's worth the sacrifice and ultimately I believe that we and the Iraqis together will prevail," she said.

While conceding that much had not gone well in the four years since the US-led invasion, Rice said that there were some successes in Iraq.

1. I should have patience? This mess has gone on longer than WWII and

has gotten progressively worse. Tell you what, Condi, why don't you and all your Bush supporters start paying for it and why don't you just 'hire' your own army to do it? Then you and your hero, Chimpy, can take all the time you want.

4. She has NO right to declare that it's worth the sacrifice.

Has she lost a child or a spouse or a parent or a sibling in this war?

The woman has no right.
