Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says that she takes her integrity very seriously in response to Representative Robert Wexler (D-FL) saying that she made false statements

At the House Foreign Affairs Committee International Relations Budget Full committee hearing on the “International Relations Budget for FY2009,” Representative Robert Wexler asks Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice if it was true that she had intelligence that cast doubt that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Rice says that it is not true, the views of the United Nations showed that Iraq must have been hiding something, and the only disagreement was on whether or not they had reconstituted their nuclear weapons program, although many elements, including the CIA, believed they were in the process of doing so. She says she takes her integrity very seriously and that she did not at any time make a statement that she knew to be false, or that she thought to be false, in order to pump up anything. Nobody, she says, wants to go to war. (1:16)
