Rice claimed she was being “figurative, not literal, okay?”

How can you be “figurative” when talking about tactical errors? Tactical errors are pretty specific things. I think she was just being honest for a brief moment.

I see no difference between a “figurative” or “Literal” error in war. I totally agree with you…it was a rare moment of honesty by a Bush senior administration official.
