 SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Thursday that Iraq's political transition will take a "couple years," acknowledging the process that is currently stalled will not move swiftly.
"I think that there is a very good chance that the Iraqi people, with the support of their coalition partners, will build a good foundation, a political foundation, for a stable and secure Iraq over the next couple years," Rice said. "This is a difficult task."
She added, "We should express confidence in them because every time they have been confronted with a challenge," Iraqis have risen to the occasion.
