Key Iraq war architect at White House as Iran war rages

Source: msn/Daily Beast

Published Mar. 6 2026 5:46PM EST


Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was spotted at the White House on Friday as President Donald Trump demanded “unconditional surrender” by Iran.

The timing of Rice’s visit to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue turned heads as she served as national security adviser to President George W. Bush and was a major proponent for the Iraq invasion in 2003, while claiming Iraq was lying about disarmament. Rice went on to serve as Bush’s secretary of state from 2005 to 2009 throughout the ongoing Iraq War.

The former top Republican administration official has not served in the government for some time, but just Thursday, Rice appeared on Fox News, where she urged President Donald Trump to take care of Iran once and for all.

She also made some of the same arguments as the White House for “Operation Epic Fury” despite the death toll rising and the war escalating as Iran strikes countries throughout the region in retaliation for the U.S. attack.

"Bin Laden determined to attack the US mainland" or something of that nature.

Instead we got the excuses, Nobody told us, nobody could have predicted it...

Trump may just want her to whip his ass while she's wearing her thigh-high black boots.

Bolton came out of his hidey-hole to cheer on Trump's bumbling war on Iran.

the thrust of that having U.S. troops "mobile and agile" and engaged on multiple fronts at the same time doing regime changes "for Democracy". However 45 doesn't care about the "democracy" part.
