Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright admitted for the first time on Sunday that under the Clinton administration's Agreed Framework arms control treaty with Kim Jong-il, North Korea "cheated." Asked point-blank if North Korea developed nuclear weapons during the Clinton administration, Albright told NBC's "Meet the Press," "No, what they were doing, as it turns out, they were cheating." "The worst part that has happened under the Agreed Framework," Albright said, was that "there [were] these fuel rods, and the nuclear program was frozen." But because of North Korea's cheating, she explained, "those fuel rods have now been reprocessed, as...

U.S. Aid Helps N. Korea Build Nukes, Congress Told By Lawrence Morahan CNS Staff Writer 17 April, 2000 (CNSNews.com) - North Korea's nuclear production capacity will increase from a dozen nuclear bombs a year to 65 a year by 2010, thanks in large part to American taxpayer money, two renowned U.S. nuclear scientists told congressional leaders last week. North Korea observers have long suspected the communist dictatorship is using Western humanitarian aid to starving North Koreans to feed Kim Jong Il's million-man army. But an aid policy initiated by the Clinton administration in the mid-1990s to finance two light...

DUBAI DUETS Late Friday, Department of Justice lawyers in the Office of Legal Counsel were attempting to determine if former President Bill Clinton had registered as an "Agent of a Foreign Principal." Federal statute requires that anyone -- even a former President -- doing political or public affairs work on behalf of a foreign country, agency or official must register with the Department, and essentially update his status every six months. It was not clear the Clinton had done so. If his status is less clear, here is what we do know: If Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton did not know...

In a speech at the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service and the Clinton Foundation, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright called the Bush administration's foreign policy a "mess." “It’s like Bush is obsessed with this so-called ‘war on terror,’” Albright said. “There are other issues you know.” Pressed for an enumeration of these “other issues” Albright suggested that reparations for the slave trade is an issue that has yet to be resolved. “President Clinton started us off on the right foot when he apologized for the 18th century slave trade,” said Albright. “We need to follow up...

Today's Democrats are nothing like Presidents Roosevelt, Truman and Kennedy, who with courage and decisive action kept on top of their jobs and aggressively confronted one national defense crisis after another. Jimmy Carter, elected during the Cold War with the Soviet Union, and (1) believing Americans had an inordinate fear of communism, (2) lifted U.S. citizens' travel bans to Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam and Cambodia and (3) pardoned draft evaders. President Carter (4) also stopped B-1 bomber production, (5) gave away our strategically located Panama Canal and (6) made human rights the central focus of his foreign policy. That led...

LITTLE ROCK In an appearance in Little Rock today, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright criticized the Bush administration's foreign policy as a "mess." Albright says the White House is ignoring other international problems by focusing solely on the Middle East. About 12-hundred people turned out at the Statehouse Convention Center to hear Albright speak. She served as Secretary of State and as Ambassador to the United Nations under President Bill Clinton. Today's appearance was sponsored by the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service and the Clinton Foundation. In her speech, Albright criticized Bush's foreign policy team and...

For IMMEDIATE Release Hyde Comments on Democratic Attack on the President’s Foreign Policy (WASHINGTON) - U.S. Rep. Henry J. Hyde (R-IL), Chairman of the House Committee on International Relations, released the following statement after Democratic lawmakers and former Carter and Clinton administration officials criticized President Bush’s policies in the Middle East: It strains the limit of humor to hear the foreign policy elite of the Democratic Party attempt to blame George W. Bush for enabling Iran to become a global menace. For it was a Democratic President, Jimmy Carter, who presided over the seizure of power in Tehran by Ayatollah...

I wonder how many people rang in Memorial Day this year sitting in a darkened room watching HBO's documentary of the slaughter of the World Trade Center and weeping. This was a different sort of Memorial Day; these are different times. It is hard to always remember really how different they are, and that catches and sometimes trips up even people whose business it is to be sensitive to fresh rhythms. The other day, reacting to not much of a story about not much of a warning that President Bush was given before Sept. 11, Democratic congressional leaders went a-shrilling...

The Path To Bill Clinton’s Legacy By Jenni Vinson Trejo September 8, 2006 When Michael Moore hit the big screen with his version of the events leading up to 9-11, he played fast and loose with little things like the feelings of those affected by 9-11, people’s reputations, and the truth in general. Democrats didn’t mind it when Michael Moore insinuated, suggested and outright stated that George W. Bush was a hapless, clueless mass who fumbled the events before during and after the attack of 9-11. Moore even went so far as to accuse the President of masterminding the attack...

Top officials of the Clinton administration have launched a preemptive strike against an ABC-TV "docudrama," slated to air Sunday and Monday, that they say includes made-up scenes depicting them as undermining attempts to kill Osama bin Laden.Former secretary of state Madeleine K. Albright called one scene involving her "false and defamatory." Former national security adviser Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger said the film "flagrantly misrepresents my personal actions." And former White House aide Bruce R. Lindsey, who now heads the William J. Clinton Foundation, said: "It is unconscionable to mislead the American public about one of the most horrendous tragedies our...

Three From Clinton Administration Urge Disney to Cancel or Revise Sept. 11 MiniseriesBy JESSE McKINLEY Published: September 7, 2006 Three members of the Clinton administration have written the chairman of the Walt Disney Company, ABC’s parent, to complain that the network’s coming two-part miniseries “The Path to 9/11” is fraught with factual errors and fabrications. The letters ask that the five-hour movie, scheduled for broadcast Sunday and Monday, be either edited for accuracy or canceled, and ABC gave a small indication yesterday that some changes might be made. One of the officials, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, said in...

I told you people yesterday and the day before of a movie, a mini-series running on ABC on September 10th and 11th, called The Path to 9/11 and I told you that I have the DVDs. I also told you because I am in touch -- I am poor when I'm in New York -- I do not have a DVD player. I don't. My apartment's got an old media room in it, it's got a laser disk player in it, but it doesn't have a DVD. Well, actually it has a DVD player in it, but the TV doesn't...

JINSA Report #586 Former Secretary of State Albright was on TV this weekend, suggesting that the current Secretary of State fly off to the Middle East to engage in some “diplomacy.” “I still do think that we actually need to be more involved. And I wish that the secretary had announced that she was leaving (St. Petersburg and the G-8 Summit) … I believe that it’s not possible for the U.S. to get over-involved.” Well, yes it is. American diplomacy has often served to protect the perpetrators of violence from just retribution. Papering over terrorism with a “peace process” full...

Make Me a Sandwich, Madeleine Albright By Julia Gorin FrontPageMagazine.com | September 30, 2002 Because the woman belongs behind a deli counter. Not speaking before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and accusing the Bush administration of an "irrational exuberance" for the conflict with Iraq. Or employing psychobabble to accuse the administration of having a "split personality" and "bipolar disorder" on global issues and overseas conflicts, as she did at Tufts University in May. Asked by journalists to comment, the Bush Administration had better things to do than bother with yesterday’s ham on toast. But I don’t. Lest anyone think...

Madaline Halfbright was on This Week and made Condi look like a Christian or Jewish Zionist. she said thet Rice must visit Israel immediately and push "diplomatic initiatives" backed by the "world community". When Stephonopolis asked her if she felt they should negotiate even while Hizbollah is shooting rockets, she said yes. This is typical rhetoric of a liberal self-hating Jew. Also, I found it uncanny and quite eerie that both Albright and Chris Dodd (D- Ct) quoted the same obscure saying from leftist former PM Rabin that "you should negotiate a peace process as if there are no terrorists...

July 16, 2006— Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright criticized the Bush administration for not getting more involved in the crisis in the Middle East and said Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice should leave the G8 summit in St. Petersburg, Russia, and begin Mideast shuttle diplomacy.

Former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright today harshly criticized the Iraq war, calling it the "biggest mistake in US history." Asked by the Frankfurter Rundschau newspaper, whether the US invasion of Iraq was a mistake, Albright responded by saying that this is "likely the biggest wrong foreign policy decision in the history of the United States." She pointed out that Washington did not take into account the repercussions of the Iraq war, according to the German-language transcript of Albright's interview with the Frankfurter Rundschau. Albright made clear that America's reputation was "badly damaged, ts moral status undermined and its...

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK)--that is, North Korea--is now producing a second-generation long-range ballistic missile based on Russian technologies that poses a significantly increased threat to the United States and Japan. Armed with nuclear or chemical warheads, the missile can be hidden in silo bases and launched from merchant ships or even submarines. It is reportedly being tested in Iran. It is not unreasonable to expect that Pyongyang might well sell it and its technologies to other rogue states, possibly even to terrorist groups.   An artist's depiction shows how North Korea might configure shipping containers to conceal...

I'm sitting here watching CNN on Larry King (I know, I know.. I'm a masochist), but watching the left after the launch of six missles from NK, I realize that the blogosphere has a real chance to take the lead here. Albright and company are blaming Bush for the escalation of tensions with NK while at the same time blaming him for acting unilateraly. Yet it was Clinton who decided to act unilateraly with NK. It was Bush who re-created the six party talks with the countries most affected by NK's actions. We need to hammer the MSM with the...

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright criticized the U.S. invasion of Iraq, saying Monday it had encouraged Iran and North Korea to push ahead with their nuclear programs. Albright, who served under President Clinton, said "the message out of Iraq is the wrong one." "The message out of Iraq is that if you don't have nuclear weapons, you get invaded. If you do have nuclear weapons, you don't get invaded," she said after an investors' conference in Moscow. Albright visited North Korea in October 2000, becoming the highest-level American official ever to travel to the country. The two nations do...

It was probably inevitable that the simmering tensions between the United Nations and America would eventually boil over in public.But no one thought that the buttoned-up world of international diplomacy would produce the very public slanging match now taking place between Mark Malloch Brown, the British Deputy UN Secretary-General, and John Bolton, the Bush Administration's arch hawk and ambassador to the UN. The trouble started when Mr Malloch Brown told a group of prominent Democrats - including Madeleine Albright, Bill Clinton's former secretary of state - that the Administration was guilty of allowing "too much unchecked UN-bashing and stereotyping". The...

Dr. Madeline Albright - former Secretary of State was invited by the Commonwealth Club to speak at the Santa Clara, CA Convention Center today, about 3 miles from the school where I teach so I thought I would drop by and listen in. Not only was she the first female US Secretary of State and the highest ranking female in American history, Dr. Albright was unanimously approved by the Senate. But, what I didn't know was that her father, an ex-diplomat in Czechoslavakia before getting political immunity here in the States and then becoming professor and dean of international studies...

Joyce Naltchayan, Getty ImagesIn her book "The Mighty & The Almighty; Reflections on America, God, and World Affairs," Albright admits she is not a theologian. In her speeches, she repeats the disclaimer: I am not qualified to give a sermon. And yet, she says, everywhere she goes she meets people who hunger for something that, if not a sermon exactly, is at least a discussion of where God fits in. For too many years, she believes, the United States has done diplomacy without truly understanding the religious beliefs of those it wants to influence. Recently, Albright spoke to the Deseret...

High-ranking members of Bill Clinton's national security team have joined together to defeat Pennsylvania Republican Curt Weldon's House re-election bid this November - in what looks like retaliation for Weldon's efforts in exposing the Clinton administration's Able Danger scandal. In June 2005, Weldon went public with news that Clinton administration lawyers prevented the Defense Intelligence Agency's Able Danger group from blowing the whistle on two al-Qaida terrorists who would later pilot the planes that destroyed the World Trade Center. Though the media downplayed Weldon's bombshell, a number of high ranking Clinton officials apparently haven't forgotten - and they're pouring money...

Nothing infuriates me more than political hacks who vacillate with the wind or who practice one thing when they are in power and preach another when they are not. Meet Madeleine Albright – or, as I like to call her, Madeleine Not-so-bright. Once again, she was sounding off in the New York Times this past weekend about the impending Iraq disaster and how Saddam Hussein had not posed an imminent threat and how "You can't go to war with everybody you dislike." At least this time, Not-so-bright, who has a history of trashing U.S. foreign policy on foreign soil,...

In an interview in the The New York Times Magazine that will appear this coming Sunday, Madeleine Albright reveals, among other things, that even at 68, she works out three times a week "and I can leg-press up to 400 pounds." This follows a discussion of how she does not expect to re-marry, partly because, as she says, "I'm intimidating, don't you think?" Another highlight of the Q & A is her commentary on the fact that her father, Josef Korbel, a Czech diplomat who became dean of the school of international relations at the University of Denver, happened to...

Madeleine Albright, Secretary of State under the Clinton Administration, derided President Bush's policy of combating "evil." "Evil is such a judgmental word," said Albright. "Who's to say what is or isn't evil?" In an editorial written for the L.A. Times, Albright urged that we be more tolerant of differing points of view. The former Secretary used the example of hostage-taking to make her point. "In our culture, using innocent parties as hostages is viewed unfavorably," said Albright. "But this is cultural myopia. In many parts of the world members of an identified ethnic or religious group are regarded as equally...

THE BUSH administration's newly unveiled National Security Strategy might well be subtitled "The Irony of Iran." Three years after the invasion of Iraq and the invention of the phrase "axis of evil," the administration now highlights the threat posed by Iran — whose radical government has been vastly strengthened by the invasion of Iraq. This is more tragedy than strategy, and it reflects the Manichean approach this administration has taken to the world. It is sometimes convenient, for purposes of rhetorical effect, for national leaders to talk of a globe neatly divided into good and bad. It is quite another,...

 Little noticed in the kerfuffle over the takeover of major US ports by Dubai Ports is the key role being played by former Democratic Party leaders. Lobbying firms associated with ex-Democratic Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and Madeleine Albright (Clinton’s Secretary of State) have been working (paid subscription only link) to secure approval of the purchase by Dubai. One would think that our leaders, even when out of office, would care more about their nation than their bank accounts.This hopefully will give impetus to a bill (drafted by Republican Congressman Mike Rogers of Michigan) working its slow way through Congress that would bar...

Sandy Berger: Bush 'Breaking' the Military Disgraced former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger is blasting President Bush for undermining U.S. defenses by "breaking" the military. A just-released report co-authored by Berger and several other top Clinton administration officials complains: "We believe that the Bush administration has broken faith with the American soldier and Marine." According to the web site ISN Security Watch, the report by Berger & Co. contends that the Bush administration's poor planning ahead of the Iraq war, a shortage of troops and not enough equipment or protection for troops could result in "breaking the force." The disgraced...

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright says she doesn't like the way President Bush "repeatedly" talks about achieving victory in the Iraq war. "I was very troubled recently, particularly by Bush's speech to the Naval Academy," the former top Clinton diplomat complained. "Victory for the United States means that someone else suffers defeat. This will make them feel bad. Making other countries feel bad is not good diplomacy.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3 - It will be an unusual sight on Thursday in the Roosevelt Room of White House, and deliberately so: President Bush will engage in a consultation of sorts with a bipartisan collection of former secretaries of state and defense. Among them will be several who have left little doubt that they think Mr. Bush has dangerously mishandled Iraq, ignored other looming crises, and put critical alliances at risk. The meeting was called by the White House, which sent out invitations just before Christmas to everyone who once held those jobs. The invitees were told that they were...
