Rice was on the Charlie Rose show last night.
Rice: “Our friends in the neighborhood need to know, and the Iraqis need to know, that we are not looking to leave Iraq. That's not why this president went into Iraq, and it's not how we're going to leave Iraq.”
Rose: “Ever?”
Rice: “Charlie! We are not going to leave an Iraq that is not capable of defending itself and with a foundation for future reconciliation.”
Think Progress has the video clip.
