Condi Going "Aggressive"

In the transcript of the press stakeout of Condoleezza Rice in the Benjamin Franklin Room yesterday, I caught this blooper by a Sue (could that have been Sue Pleming from Reuters?):

QUESTION: Do you have any comment on the bombing of the UN warehouse in Lebanon today?...

Lebanon? Er, that was Gaza City, no?

And Rice replies:

...As to the unfortunate circumstances – incident at the UNRWA warehouse earlier, I did speak with my Israeli counterparts about it. There is great concern on their part. It was, they say, an error that it happened. It does demonstrate the very dangerous nature of the kinds of fighting that’s going on and the events that we’re in.

I guess she didn't know where it happened either?


And then there was an inaudible question which, from the answer, concerned the ceasefire which came after McCormack said:

Thanks, guys.

which elicited this response:

SECRETARY RICE: I am continuing to work on it. You know that we’re all seeking a cease-fire. We’re aggressively working toward that cease-fire. And we’re trying to help put the pieces in place so that it can be durable.

Pieces? Like Humpty-Dumpty?
