#1 Ugh....what nonsense and a sure fire blueprint for failure.

And so Halfbright rears her ugly head. And she still hasn't learned anything from her previous failures.
Its no wonder the mullahs are playing their hand the way they are with this befuddled old crow blathering this appeasing garbage.

#2 it makes no difference what her success/failure ratio is, what matters is: what Brooch was she wearing?

#3 History repeats itself; the first time as comedy, the second as farce.

Surely this woman is familiar with my philosophy?

#4 Frank,

You beat me to the Brooch comment.

#6 American and European heads of state must emphasize that the West does not seek to deny Iran the right to a peaceful civilian nuclear energy program under the necessary safeguards.

"Now, just hold still while we strap these remote-control explosive-decapitation packs to the back of your heads...Don't worry, the turbans will cover them..."

#7 I had a nighmare the other night. Something about me being stupid drunk and waking up the next morning with Mad Albright on one side and Janet Reno on the other. Its mad, mad I tell ya.

#9 Oh, dear God...

"While it is unclear whether this deal will ultimately halt Iranâs nuclear ambitions, only a unified approach will enable Europe and the United States to find out."

We can't afford to wait and "find out", you idiots. Iran's nuclear ambitions must be crushed, NOW.

#10 Sounds a lot like Albright doesn't have a helluva lot to do nowadays. Maybe she should go get a job at Wal Mart or something.

#11 "While it is unclear whether this deal will ultimately halt Iranâs nuclear ambitions, only a unified approach will enable Europe and the United States to find out"

Shut down this farce. This is more idiotic genuflecting before "multilateralism" while refusing to recognize the reason that we and the Euros are not and will not be "unified": they're more opposed to the threat of US force vs Iran than they are to Iran getting nukes.

The simple, blindingly obvious truth here is that on the crucial question of enforcement, we and the Euros are on different sides. And without enforcement via serious sticks-- military measures, sanctions, a blockade-- no agreement will mean anything.

This disgraceful episode represents nothing more than the complete humiliation of the West by pisspot kleptocrats. Well done, Maddie.
