Q: What should the U.S. do next?
A: Frankly, if there was a President Gore, we wouldn't be in this particular mess. But we are, and we cannot fail. I very much hope there will be a U.N. resolution that makes clear the U.S. has military command but that would set up a U.N. high representative to coordinate the political and humanitarian things the U.N. does very well.

More Q&A in article, including...
Q: Did you neglect the threat posed by Osama bin Laden and leave it for the Bush Administration to clean up?
A: President Clinton focused on terrorism from the start. The CIA set up a special bin Laden division, and the President authorized the use of lethal force against him. We struck his camp in 1998 after the embassy bombings, and we came close. President Bush has been in Afghanistan with 8,000 troops, and they still haven't found him.

She's right. If we had a President Gore, then after September 11th we would have surrendered our sovereignty top the United Nations with the screams of "Protect us!" and everything would be all hunky-dory right now...

I was going to say that if we had Gore for president, perhaps LA and Dallas would be smoldering, too.

She's right: if we had a "president" Gore, we'd be in a far worse mess.

Don't forget the martial law that would have probably been imposed almost immediatley after the terror strikes. The Clinton Administration was always looking for an excuse to do that.
Madeline Albright is an idiot.

"Madeline Albright is an idiot." But I'll bet she does a mean tongue trill.

'President Clinton focused on terrorism from the start. The CIA set up a special bin Laden division'
Misleading. President Clinton set up a bin Laden division after several attacks and many dead Americans in his second presidency. He ignored him all throughout the first.

Frankly, if there was a President Gore, we wouldn't be in this particular mess.She's right-- post 9-11, after we'd all gotten back from the drycleaners to get them awful skid marks out of our collective trousers, we'd all be joining the local mosques in response to a presidential directive to "better understand the inherent cry for help that caused our Muslim brethren to resort to such attention-getting strategies, praise Allah."

"She'd be wearing a burqua (sp?) right now. Hey! Come to think of it...."I'm surprised she didn't appear in public wearing a hijab (headscarf), let alone a burqua.
