Iraq one of worst US foreign policy disasters, says Albright
2006-04-24
Invading Iraq is likely to go down as one of the worst US foreign policy blunders ever, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said in an interview published on Sunday. The former top US diplomat told the New York Times that Iraq's deposed leader Saddam Hussein "was horrible. But I did not think he was an imminent threat to the United States."

"You can't go to war with everybody you dislike," Albright continued. "I think Iraq may end up being one of the worst disasters in American foreign policy."

Madam Albright, do the words "never again" mean anything to you?

#16  You should her what my Serbian friends say about how insulting she was as a young girl when her dad was amb. to yugoland. Her statements as a young girl nearly ruined our relations with Tito's regime.
They really hate her.

#15  AT--you better go the club and have a beer. Half-bright is too heavy for you, no pun intended, heh.

#14  Fred,

I apologize. I've been rude, crude and lewd. Please allow me to stay in the fold. I realize that I've been flagged. I changed the spelling of my ridiculous User Name (Asymetricaltriangulation vice asymmetrical triangulation) to provide comment this evening. I hate the klintonistas and want to dispatch all of them. They're the wasps, hornets, yellow-jackets, COCKroaches, slugs, fleas, scabbies, crotch crickets and poison ivy corrupting an existance they don't deserve.

Dear Lord Jesus, forgive us for letting things get so out of hand. Amen.

#13  you have to be able to do 400lb squats to lift this much shit day-in, day-out. She should just go away as penance for her weak ass efforts on all fronts, before people wake up to just how incompetent they were...but then again, this is the party of Jimmy Carter

#11  I hear the broach she copped on a trip to NORK was to die for.

#10  I think only Prez Jimmuh can top her for worst US foreign policy disasters because he was key in that effort (NKor) and had his own pathetic record on top of that.

What a bitter, nasty woman.

#9  No, Maddass Halfbright, YOU are one of the worst U.S. foreign policy disasters.

But don't feel too bad - there are losers from other Dem administrations vying for the title.

#7  I ever thought she was the US foreign policy disaster. Frankly, if I were Putin or China's supreme and I had to talk with her (and look at her) for over five minutes I would be tempted to press the red button.

#6  Half-bright is almost as dumb, and twice as political, as John Kerry. I wouldn't trust her if she said the sun was shining. She practically single-handedly destroyed US containment of North Korean nuclear ambitions, and wants to do the same in Iran. She should be put on the nose cone of the next satellite launch.

Imprimus, your details are faulty. Serbs were as majority until Mussies started breeding like rabits (more precisely, stopped having 80% infant mortality due to---you guessed it---Serb doctors).
More importantly, far as I'm concerned, there cannot, ever, be a justification for siding with Muzzies against other humans.

#4  No, I still think her masterful handling of Rwanda while she infested the UN was her shining moment.

Blood on your hands bothers you much, Maddie? Didn't think so......

#3  I thought she was dead? No bother she is dead to me.

gromgoru, the Kosovars wanted to join Albania after the breakup of Yugoslavia. The Serbs had resettled many ethnic serbs in Kosovo so they didn't want them to leave greater Serbia. The Serbs might have started a second Bosnia had the U.S. not stepped in. Lots of blood and blame to go around.

#2  No, your trusting N. Korea was the worst policy blunder.

I say we send Halfbright (and her broach) to Iran... (w/o any authority...)

#1  No sweetling. The totally unprovoked and immoral (all Serbs were doing is defending themselves agains Balkan PLO) attack on Serbia was that.
