A Quote by Condoleezza Rice

There are some issues where ministers should come and talk to the prime minister, if the prime minister hasn't already talked to them.

It's easy to say, let's go in and get the bad guys. But you have a divided country of Sunnis and Shias. The United States goes and takes action there on behalf of the Iraqi government.

I was a very senior minister in the Howard government and I sat around this particular table [in the prime ministerial office] in many discussions.
