Madeleine Albright, while abroad

Madelline has always been a broad in my estimation.

We’ve seen some very strange things since this war started on September 11. But nothing is quite as odd as the past architects of failure weighing in on the dangers of “neoWilsonianism,” “neoconservative ideologues,” and veiled references to Israeli machinations, as the Bush administration finally sets right three decades these people’s flawed policies and tries to promote a new Americanism based on our own universal values and aspirations.

And I'm awaiting the apologies from some of the most vocal opponents on the Right of our war in Iraq for being so wrong. Dead wrong.

If any of them had a shred of integrity, they'd admit that they had been wrong. Let's see if they finally admit it.

They won't because they authored the failed policies.

Nothing is as dangerous in war as striking but not defeating an enemy, showing contempt without the real ability to humble and humiliate him.

This is the mistake our enemy has made, and had we listened to the anti-war (actually they are more anti-Bush than anti-war) left, we would have made the same mistake by stopping in Afghanistan and not going to Iraq.

Amazing I see some here (the nuke Mecca crowd, paleo-cons) saying pretty much the same things that Victor hammers down. aka it's jobs, jobs, jobs,” , "These people are either crazy or backward, and usually both", "Let Them Be", “neoWilsonianism,” “neoconservative ideologues,” and veiled references to Israeli machinations


Thank God we have a President who really understands what's going on.

I don't have to wait that long. The truth is evident now.

When will the polemicists on the Right admit that they were dead wrong?

Put another way: when you see a rabid dog, you either kill him or leave him alone... don't just kick him

"After the failures of all our present critics, this new policy of promoting American values is our last, best hope. And the president will be rewarded long after he leaves office by the verdict of history for nobly sticking to it when few others, friend or foe, would."

Great as usual.

"If any of them had a shred of integrity..."

"Integrity" is not a word that can be used to describe a single person from the clinton administration, in my estimation.
