He was horrible. But I did not think he was an imminent threat to the United States. You can't go to war with everybody you dislike. Then what was that 98 congressional resolution all about??

This is the interview where she discusses her leg-pressing regimen.

What is she talking about? The Pali's have held elections and are now back to doing what they do best; killing each other. Oh, and they're still terrorists.What has unraveled or dried up rather, is the free flow of US tax payer's dollars.
BINGO!

This woman has to be among the stupidest persons ever to hold a cabinet position in the United States of America.

People my age who were trained in history and policy would always say, "Foreign policy is very mplicated, and if you bring God in, it's even more complicated".
WTF? I'm 25 or so years younger than her. Since @1979, I had been predicting that we, the US, were going to have a serious problem with a religion which tells its followers to kill 'infidels'. Who trained her in "history and policy"? I already knew she was an idiot. Now I think she's a fool.

Yep...large egos coupled with ignorance/stupidity are a deadly combination.

A rational actor calculates the cost-benefit ratios of things.
So you and the Horndog "rationally" sold our safety to china and n. korea, sent missiles into Iraq and Afghanistan, let our Troops die in Somalia, bombed a soverign nation into the stone age (unprovoked and without united nations' approval, I might add),sucked up to palestinian terrorists. Yeah, you people were rational. Spit

This idea is repeated often, but it needs to be challenged. "imposing democracy is an oxymoron. People have to choose democracy, and it has to come up from below." First, we are doing something very much like we did after WWII in Germany, Japan, and Korea, and they have worked well enough to say that democracy can be imposed. But, more important, we have never gone in anywhere where we weren't being urged to support one side over another.
Moreover, the realpolitique she espouses is not a progressive idea, but had its origins in the Congress of Vienna 1815 which was a reactionary defense of the old order after the French Revolution. We saw after 9/11 that it had brought us allies we didn't agree with, especially Saudi Arabia.

"Sick. A lot of the things that we worked on for eight years have unraveled. It is very hard."
Yes it is sickening. You thought you could get WJC thr nobel peace prize for your Mideast peace proces. Now it looks like it was just a hoax.
To: Pharmboy
Underestimated the role religion would play in foreign policy. Gee, I guess she wasn't in Clinton's Rolodex when it came to bin Laden, embassy bombing, The Cole, and God knows what else.

First question for her that came to mind was do you consider yourself more an idiot or just stupid?

Did you see Saddam Hussein as a threat to this country? He was horrible. But I did not think he was an imminent threat to the United States. You can't go to war with everybody you dislike. I think Iraq may end up being one of the worst disasters in American foreign policy.
"We must stop Saddam from ever again jeopardizing the stability and security of his neighbors with weapons of mass destruction." - Madeline Albright, Feb 1, 1998
Madeline Albright the liar.

I think Madeline/Hans Blix/ and Bill Clinton's appeasement of North Korea's nuclear proliferation during the 1990's ... may edge out a currently disarmed and slowly democratizing Iraq .... as the nation's "worst foreign policy disaster".
Whatchoo think?

Either that (N Korea, that is, and only time will tell) or essentially ignoring bin Laden and al Qaeda.

Let me guess ... the new bumper sticker for the Dems is .. Got Religion ?? In all seriousness, I saw this bumpersticker on a minivan in a high school parking lot just last month (emphasis in the original)...
Christian by choice...
