White House’s PR Offensive on Iraq
When Chief U.S. weapons inspector David Kay reported to Congress last week, politicians on both sides of the aisle were miffed that three months of searching for Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction had essentially come up empty.
But today, National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice had a different interpretation of Kay’s weapons report. She told a foreign policy forum in Chicago that Kay “is finding proof that Iraq never disarmed and never complied with U.N. inspectors.”
Rice’s speech was just part of a White House P.R. offensive on Iraq that officials say will include speeches by President Bush and Vice President Cheney, as well as high-profile trips to Iraq by cabinet secretaries to illustrate areas of progress.
