LAS VEGAS -- A feisty former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright denounced George W. Bush on Thursday, saying the president's divisive and destructive policies had wreaked havoc on the world and diminished the United States.
"I am depressed about the standing we have in the world today," Albright said during a brief stop at an American Legion hall. "This president has ruined our reputation and destroyed our credibility and moral authority. To use a diplomatic term of art, the world is a mess."
Albright has been campaigning for presidential candidate John Kerry with a group that includes former top generals, a U.S. Marine who served recently in Iraq, and Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif., the highest-ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.
Albright had nothing good to say about Bush or the war in Iraq, which she described as a "chaotic disaster."
"It was badly planned," she continued. "It was horrible. There was no plan. The president calls it a 'catastrophic success.' Have ever heard those two words together? It's kind of like imposing democracy, another oxymoron."

Mooing from a Mad Cow!
I'm depressed that you and your ilk trusted N. Korea and now they have the bomb.
STFU and go away you old hag.
Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of ! a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies."
- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999
Sooner or later, she'll cough up that hairball and feel much better.
And that standing would be because we won't let terrorists determine our future!
By far, the most incompetent foreign policy advisor in modern history.
Didn't she personally vouch for Clinton when all the while he was staining the White House carpet? Don't these people have any shame?
The NorKs laughed their @sses off when she came around. This broad has no business criticizing ANYONE.
That's Maddy Not-at-Albright!!
Worst. Secretary. Of. State. Ever.
Thank you for your part in WEAKENING the US Madam Secretary.
Why is anyone still giving this tired old harpy any attention? What's wrong, did the fire on her cauldron go out and she can't get it re-started so she's inserting her stale old self into this campaign? Did she finally get too fat to fly around on her broom? The Halloween haunted houses not need any witches with their own custume, crooked nose and chin warts this year? Get a life hag.
This from a woman mistaken for a hotel maid.
"I liked it a lot better when terrorits could attack us at will and we didn't worry about retaliating!"
Joined by a Marine?
Why aren't his buddies beating him senseless!??!?!
I guess the Carlysle group isn't having much success in recruiting nations who want to litigate rather than forgive iraqi debt...
That must have been painful.
