It sounds a bit silly to me, especially since the tabloids have also made money selling their "Condi is s lesbian" rumors in the past, which would appear a bit contradictory with the present rumors, but you gotta wonder if some people believe it...

Rice didn't help herself when she accidently refered to President Bush as "my husband" in an interview several years ago.

I wonder if some on the right would like to see Condi Rice marginalized or removed from Bush's inner circle, out of a simple fear that she may harbor an unhealthy infatuation with George Bush, even if their relationship is entirely non-romantic and professional?

On thre subject of Iraq, yes, of course the war was a colossal mistake. One Israeli I know who originally hails from Iraq (back before the Baath Party and Saddam came to power and persecution of Iraqi Jews intensified) stated that the idea that the US/UK could go into Iraq and convince the people there to accept peaceful, democratic institutions and processes, was the height of folly. Those Shiites and Sunnis will be killing each other for a hundred years.
