BERLIN (AFP) Former secretary of state Madeleine Albright has blasted the current US administration's handling of the Georgia crisis, saying her first move would have been to travel to Russia for talks.
In an interview with the online service of German news weekly Der Spiegel Sunday, Albright said she would have criticised the Russian military surge into Georgia and recognition of two Georgian rebel enclaves but reassured Moscow over its security fears.
"I would have gone straight to Moscow, unlike the current Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice," she said, in remarks printed in German.
"I would have told the Russians in no uncertain terms that this behaviour is unacceptable. At the same time, I would have assured them that there is no threat at their borders."

The maid speaks.
She hasn’t had a date in a while and wants to dance with Putin.
Take a Midol, Maddy.
Madeline Albright is a poster child for the idea of the auto de fe. Her first move in this whole picture was to bomb a totally innocent Christian nation for 80 days and nights including Easter Sunday to take Chinagate and Juanita Broaddrick off the front pages of our own newspapers.

God help us — and he did — we survived the Carter/Clinton years — and Madeline Halfbright, with her massive appeasement agenda sure did a great job with handling North Korea, didn’t she??? And these malfeasant liberals have the guts to criticize anyone about anything?
GROSS HYPOCRISY.
SoS... sri.
LLS
Surely the Russians would have been waiting for the chance to be scolded by the US Secretary of State.
They would have sent Putin’s personal limo out to the tarmac to pick her up. All the top dogs would have been lined up to meet with her.
sarc
Gosh this was effective in serbia, north korea and iraq.
How many terroist attacks while she was in charge?
The really sad thing is she is not the least bit embarassed over her total incompetence.
..and the Russians would have responded "OOOoohhh..ok ok... sorry we completely misunderstood the border threat. We apologize, we will pull out of Georgia tomorrow. Sorry for the misunderstanding and for any incoveniences.."
Just shut up Moron!

Bahahahaha is this old bag of bird crap still alive??
She’d go to talk to Putin and he’d laugh her old wrinkly ass right out of the country.
Hey Dimlight, thanks for arming North Korea with nukes! “Those rascals, they tricked us!”
This woman is forever making a fool of herself. I wish she would just go away!
Not to mention that the Europeans would have loved to have been bypassed as the US SecState swept right into Moscow and made it a bilateral issue.
I believe in the past this has been termed “cowboy diplomacy”.
You’ve gotta be kidding me. Don’t get me started.
The Honorable Albanian Cleaning Lady, speaks.
"'One member of the delegation, who didn't realize who she was, and probably thinking she was some cleaning lady because it was after midnight, simply said to her, 'Give us five minutes and please go away,' recalled Albanian diplomat Dugagjin Gorani in War on Europe, a British TV program. Instead, Albright exploded in rage, swearing at the group, according to the reports. 'Mrs. Albright started using explicit language which the translators never could translate into Albanian,' says Veton Surroi, another member of the delegation."
Screaming and profanity. Great display of diplomacy.
No, the sad thing is this is what is going to reassume power in advising President Barack Obama on foreign policy and statesmanship.
Forget VP PLUGS- the Obama proletariat team will get him a teleconference mike with a transmit-only button and let him direct that numerous papers and briefings be prepared by adoring 3rd string poli sci interns.
This clown has been out of office for 8 years now. Why does she think anyone cares about what she says?
Was it her, Margaret Thatcher or both who are suffering from dementia.
Maddy and Bubba helped create this problem by attacking Serbia against the wishes of Russia to support an Islamic terror group.
But it helped keep Monica out of the news.
Proud of that little episode in history, Maddy?
Maddie, you and Jimmah need to shut your ancient old traps and go away.
And then what Maddy? Shake your finger and say "shame, shame, shame?"
Woulda, coulda. shoulda, Monday quarterback talk. Just think what someone else could have done things during Slick’s tenure.
Who care what the clean lady says?
“Former secretary of state Madeleine Albright has blasted the current US administration’s handling of the Georgia crisis, saying her first move would have been to travel to Russia for talks.”
As usual, the first reaction of a dim/idiot is to press for ‘talks’.
No doubt she would have returned from Moscow with a document proclaiming “peace in our time.”
If I ever run into her on a street, I am gonna kick her like an extra point...
Madeline “AllWrong?”
Oldplayer
I can see why she would dismissed any linkage between the Georgian crisis and Kosovo. She started the whole Kosovo mess!
“This clown has been out of office for 8 years now. Why does she think anyone cares about what she says?”
Maybe she’ll be Obama’s new SOS! Barf!!!
Isn’t she the handler of the Elian Gonzalez fiasco?
STFU there you very stupid very ugly woman Albright.
Even Chamberlain wasn’t naive enough to travel to have a chat with Hitler after Germany took over Czechoslovakia.
This sort of gibberish goes over well in Europe.
Traveling to Moscow would be about as fruitful as the European negotiations with Tehran.
But..... after she let go her typical liberal BS and threw in her obligatory attack on the administration she more or less said that she would do what we're doing, stand by Georgia and isolate Russia.
Hey Halfbright! We’ll call you with the next brisket/hungry N. Korean midget dictator crisis! Till then glass houses beehatch!
I hope she got the toilet cleaned properly this time...
Would’a, Should’a, Could’a...
(Former secretary of state Madeleine Albright has blasted the current US administration’s handling of the Georgia crisis, saying her first move would have been to travel to Russia for talks. )
Talk talk talk. That is all these people ever think of. If talking worked Russia would not have gone into Georgia in the first place. Now while Albright certainly is very scary looking I doubt seriously that the Russina would give a rats pattoot what she had to say about anything.
And of course while she would have been talking they (russans would have been killing more people and moving further into Georgia.
Is she still around, I thought she would have retired to the lowest levels of the sewer.
Come on, give the lady a break, she had to use a fishing trawler rig to get into her girdle that day...
This from the POS who rolled over in orgasmic spasms over Kim Sung Il?
Crawl back into your well deserved obscurity you worthless bag of crap.
