In Iraq, Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice made a surprise visit to Baghdad Sunday. During her top-secret trip Rice claimed the U.S. invasion of Iraq was not a preemptive attack. She said “this war came to us, not the other way around.” Rice vowed the U.S. would remain in Iraq until Iraq can “defend itself.” She also warned Syria that it is “standing in the way of the Iraqi people’s desire for peace.”
