WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former top U.S. officials are blasting the Bush administration for reopening a rift with Europe by excluding critics of the war from prime contracts for Iraq's reconstruction.

"I thought we were in the process of acquiring support rather than alienating it," former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said. "And I think it's petty. I really do think we should not be in the business of alienating people."

Yes, I can see whose side the Dems are on, and it's not on the side of the US.

Man, these rats are irredeemably dense. The position they're taking on this will alienate them with a huge portion of the American public.

"Former top U.S. [Democrat] officials are blasting the Bush administration for reopening a rift with Europe by excluding critics of the war from prime contracts for Iraq's reconstruction."

ROTFLMAO!

Note to Madeleine: What rift with Europe? A quick review of the facts reveals that Britain stood with us, Poland stood with us, Spain stood with us, Italy stood with us, etc., etc. In fact, the majority of European countries will be eligible to bid on these contracts. What "Europe" are you speaking of, the Axis of Weasels? Oh my, we sure wouldn't want to do anything that could upset our dear friends, France and Germany, now would we?

Stupid, ugly and treasonous is no way to go through life, Maddy.

Note to Madeleine: What rift with Europe?

Madeleine Albright's best friends in Europe are the Kosovo Liberation Army; they are the people whose terrorist activities lead to Serbia strengthening its presence there, followed by Madeleine and Clark invading, giving power to the K.L.A. who responded by tearing down every Christian Monastery and shrine they could find.

The K.L.A. do have a rift with the policy of the U.S. and her allies, because the K.L.A. suppport al Qa'eda. That is the rift.
