WASHINGTON (AP) - In a brief foray into politics, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Friday denounced comments by a leading Republican presidential candidate that the Bush administration's foreign policy is arrogant and unilateral.
"The idea that somehow this is a go-it-alone policy is just simply ludicrous," she said at a State Department news conference. "One would only have to be not observing the facts, let me say that, to say that this is now a go-it-alone foreign policy."
Her remarks came in response to a question about criticism from former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who has surged in the polls to become a front-runner in the upcoming Iowa caucuses for the GOP presidential nomination. Huckabee recently said the administration's foreign policy was characterized by a "bunker mentality."

Important safety tip for GOP candidates: You are not going to win primary voters by attacking the Bush administration. Huckabee is already over.
Doing this on a Friday...I’d anticipate that she just knocked three points off the Huck by Monday morning. His wind beneath his sails...just down a couple of notches.
Condi just blew his spinnaker out!
If Huckabee can ask "Don't Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?" what make her presume he can't also fire a few questions her way.
Like... "Don't Presbyterians believe the Pope is the Antichrist and the Roman Catholic Mass is idolatry?"
If Condi is looking for religious war, the "only candidate with a Theology degree" is the one to give it to her.
/s
Hell, she and Rushbo, today, just knocked off his boat off its keel.
Huckabee is a moralistic liberal petty man who in no way deserves to be a governor, let alone POTUS.
drpix—I think a woman who got her degree at age 19 and was a Stanford provost can handle herself quite well in the intellectual arena—so much so that Huckster is the one who might want to watch himself.
Both Rice and the Huckster are wrong on foreign policy. Condi Rice is busy destroying the nation of Israel, but has time to respond to a foreign policy newbie (the Huck).
As if Husksters Cuba comment wasn’t enough...LOL
Glad Condi is leaving no doubt!
This response would apply not ony to GOPer’s attacking Bush, but all Dems as well.
It is ludicrous.
I think you could have summed that up with the “holier than thou looking down his nose at you” comment, but you’re right in that he shouldn’t be the nominee, and even if he is, will never become president.
Indeed, Condi will cut you deep.
I can’t figure out what Huckabee hoped to gain from his statement on this topic.
Sounds like the top two GOP candidates have a problem with truth. GO DUNCAN HUNTER!!!
You can’t call them arrogant and unilateral, just look at the administration’s policy on the “Palistinians.” Positively weak and coddling.
We’re not gonna take it
We’re not gonna take it
We’re not gonna take it
We’re not gonna take it
We’re not gonna take it, never did and never will
Don’t want no religion, not as far as we can tell
We ain’t gonna take you never did and never will
We forsake you, gonna rape you, let’s forget you better still
We forsake you, gonna rape you, let’s forget you better still
I did, but simply didn’t think to comment on it. We’re of the same mind. I’ll be clearer next time, thanks.
May they both lose...Rice and the Huckster are wrong on foreign policy, that’s the truth!
Yeah, what you say !
But you need to add in “will take your money in order to feed his holines”
