WASHINGTON - Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice told The Associated Press on Thursday that
Iraq is "worth the investment" in American lives and dollars and said the U.S. can still win a conflict that has been more difficult than she expected.
In an interview at the State Department, the nation's highest-ranking black government official also said the United States is ready to elect a black president.
Rice was asked whether an additional $100 billion the
Pentagon wants for the Iraq and Afghan wars might amount to throwing good money after bad in Iraq.
President Bush and Congress have already provided more than $500 billion for the two conflicts and worldwide efforts against terrorism, including more than $350 billion for Iraq.
"I don't think it's a matter of money," Rice said.

She is a dumb C U Next Tuesday. We should have never spent an American life or dollar over there and should have secured this country with those resources and lives. WTF is going on in this country?

She did not say the lives were worth loosing. Live are lost in war, and that is the nature of war. She said the war and the money are worth investing in for stability in the region.
