"If you think that what caused Sept. 11 was that the people who flew airplanes in caused Sept. 11, then, no, Iraq had no relationship," she said.

"But if you think that this was a broader problem of an ideology of hatred, of terrorism becoming an acceptable means in places where there was a freedom deficit and where there was no possibility for legitimate political discourse, then you realize that you have to have a different kind of Middle East," she said, "and a different kind of Middle East with Saddam Hussein at the middle of it is unacceptable."

YEAH, THAT'S WHY CONDI AND GW ARE SO ANXIOUS TO WORK WITH THE LEGITMATELY ELECTED HAMAS LEADERSHIP IN PALESTINE.

DOESN'T THE DEMS LOGIC BELOW MEAN THAT IF THE IRAQ "LEADERSHIP" KEEPS DITHERING THE TROOPS WILL JUST LEAVE? I GUESS I'D SAY DITHER AWAY.

Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., who met with Iraqi leaders last week in his role as top Democratic on the Armed Services Committee, said Bush should make it clear to the Iraqis that troops are going to continue to be there only if they work out a political compromise. That is a message, Levin said, that Iraqi leaders have not yet received.

"Instead, they get the kind of excuses that we just heard as to how complicated it is, how difficult it is, that constitutions and cabinet selections take time," said Levin, who appeared on "Fox News Sunday" after Rice.

Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., said U.S. troops are "a crutch" for Iraq and that their presence continues to fuel the insurgency.

SOME "CRUTCH"--I GUESS HE MEANS AS IN BEATING THE IRAQIS OVER THE HEAD WITH IT.
