Bush and Rice owe it to the American people to tell the truth. It is a mistake for us to give weapons and funds to Sunnis insurgents when there is no way of knowing if they are aligned with al Qaeda in Iraq or not. This creates an unsafe environment for our troops. Rice has lost all credibility. She has done a poor job as our top diplomat. As our troops are dying she is more interested in golf. Where are her priorities? Other countries don't take her seriously because she was so wrong on Saddam's WMDs. She talked of mobile labs that weren't there. She talked about a mushroom cloud that could be the smoking gun. She was wrong. She drew a connection with Iraq and 9-11 that didn't exist.
