"Do you think we should do this?" Rice quoted Bush as saying.

Rice told author Elisabeth Bumiller that she knew Bush meant war.

As Bush's second-term secretary of state, Rice has struggled to make a mark apart from the war, which has ground on far longer than she or other first-term advisers envisioned, and which has not produced the functioning democracy that she and Bush championed.

The book, the third about Rice this year, revisits Rice's power struggles with Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld over the war and other issues. It also traces Rice's unusually close relationship with Bush, something she used to her advantage in bureaucratic tussles.

Rice appears as almost an extension of the Bush family, routinely spending weekends with Bush and his wife, Laura, at Camp David or tagging along when the first couple dined alone or with another couple. Rice doesn't care for the weather at the Bush ranch in Texas, but likes the opportunity for long walks with Laura Bush, the book said.

1. Sounds like she has a crush on both Chimp AND Laura.
