Condoleezza Rice
- Gen. Colin Powell: You see, sir, what I'm pressing for here is, is why? Why are we doing this? Why Iraq? Why now?
- Condoleezza Rice: We discussed that already, Colin.
- Gen. Colin Powell: We had America protected September 11th, that is, if people had been doing their jobs right. But we blew it. And now, instead of taking down these ten thousand al Qaeda lunatics in the mountains of Pakistan with special operations, we're way outside of the box on this thing. Why aren't we trusting the system? Why have we veered off to this place where we accept without debate that a preemptive strike on Iraq can defeat terrorism better than police action or Intel agencies that actually share information? I just don't get it, Mr. President, I don't, because I am a soldier. And I'd be mighty sure before I put young American lives at risk.
