Another example of hiding the news. We were told of every word and action of Ms Albright, virtually nothing about Secretary Rice. I wonder how many times a Secretary of State has attended the Davos meeting? and how many times given a SRO speech?

Thanks for the links, Chgogal, that was a masterful address. I just wish she had taken a scythe through Foggy Bottom and culled about half of the parasites therein.

The Media never tells the whole truth, commission by omission is their stock-in-trade. I did find the following about Maddie Notsobright ^:

PARIS: Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's personal efforts staved off failure at least temporarily in the Kosovo peace talks last month at Rambouillet, France, but her intensive, often improvised, diplomacy raised concerns that her entry into the talks clouded the prospects for settling the civil war between Serbs and ethnic Albanians when the two sides reconvene on March 15, according to officials in Europe and the United States.

"Her energy was impressive, but her performance injected new uncertainties into the situation and sowed doubts about the seriousness of U.S. diplomacy," said an American ambassador in Europe.

Like other diplomatic practitioners, he considered her Rambouillet performance to fit a pattern of what he said was the Clinton administration's propensity for downgrading U.S. objectives in a foreign-policy crisis and settling for any result offering the appearance of success or at least forestalling a media verdict of failure.

Robert Zoellick, a conservative U.S. strategist, said that Mrs. Albright "seemed to concentrate so hard on tactics that she lost sight of U.S. strategic goals, and even her tactics seemed imperfectly adapted."

Albright and Clinton never had any US strategic goals -- only self-interested positioning.

Whenever I think of Albright I am reminded of the English woman who died about 10 years ago in her eighties, who had been a secretary at MI5 (or another British Agency) and had been giving secrets to the USSR all during her working life. Her obituary write-ups included the statement that she had done it because she did not think it was “fair” to have only one superpower in the world.

I truly believe that Maddy sees the world the same way. The Clintons only see personal power as an objective. Nothing ideological motivates them. Well, she is a communist, so I guess he is the one with no ideology.

Here is a link from the Fox Business Channel. It is an interview between Albright and Cavuto. Cavuto, the mild, lays into her like you would not believe. This is a must watch. You will have to put the name Albright in the search box and click to find the videos. There are two sections. It gets very good a few minutes into the first sections. It is wonderful! Chgogal’s rating - 5 Stars!!!!
