In an interview posted on the Democratic National Committee's web site, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright says she doesn't like the way President Bush "repeatedly" talks about achieving victory in the Iraq war.
"I was very troubled recently, particularly by [Bush's] first speech to the Naval Academy," the former top Clinton diplomat complains in a DNC audio webcast.
"They clearly had some kind of a new pollster in the White House tell them that the word 'victory' had to be repeated endlessly," Albright griped. "Plus, [there was] the backdrop that said 'victory' and then there was 'victory' on the podium. I don't know how many times he used the word 'victory.'"
Still, despite her discomfort over President Bush's victory talk, Albright insisted that she and other Democrats really do want the U.S. to prevail in Iraq.
"There's not a Democrat who doesn't want this to work," Albright said. "I think that Democrats are united in not wanting this to fail."
Still, she credited her party with forcing a debate over the question of how President Bush managed to take the country to war without "really having a very good discussion of it."
And Albright complained that it isn't fair for Democrats "to be called unpatriotic simply for asking questions and having a debate."
She also took some pot shots at her successor, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, suggesting that her performance during a recent trip to Europe was a diplomatic embarrassment.
Noting that Rice was repeatedly pressed by reporters to clarify U.S. "torture" policy, Albright said, "I don't think it was a trip that was particularly the one that she had in mind."
"Given the fact that it's being written that she has a great deal of influence with the president, she may have come back and said, 'You know, this was not a great trip - we've got to do something.'"
The former top Clinton diplomat suggested that Dr. Rice may be in over her head, telling the DNC: "I think that you would have had to have been really asleep at the switch not to know what a very hard trip she had and one presumes that others in the White House read the newspapers and could see she had a very hard trip."
Certainly she is happy the Iraqis have their Freedom. Did they ask her about that? Hey Notso, would you rather the Iraqis be under tyranny or Democracy?
Pray for W and Our Victorious Troops
It was reported that halfbright was visibly flattered when Kim Jong Il called her "cute". She acted like a little schoolgirl as she handed over our money to fund his nuke program.
Gee, halfbright....Condi would NEVER have done such a treasonous thing to America.
"No, seriously, we do! C'mon, stop laughing, we're totally serious!"

Nah...........Maddie needs to learn that REAL leaders don't make decisions based on polls.
Projection of xlinton's abject failure to lead coming out again.
These people define the meaning of the word LOSER.
He should be saying, "if we're nice, they will like us, then we can all get along." < /sarcasm >
More like " We will go out of our way to help you lose the war, and undoubtedly cause a few dozen more deaths with our rhetoric and actions, but that doesn't mean we don't have "FELLINGS" for you"
I hope he doesn't strike an innocent passerby............
lol, we all know that is a bunch of crock.
They don't call her Madeline "Not So Bright" without a good reason.
She is a lying sack of fecal matter . . . (just my opinion of course.)
On one had she decries the President's call for victory in the war on terror and then on the other hastens to deny that the democrat hacks want us to lose.
She dares to criticize Dr. Rice??????????????????????????????????????
Maddy Albright breathes too much , she is a waste of good oxygen.
"Liar."
You're absolutely right! Actually Albright meant to say "There's not a Democrat who doesn't want this to work (meaning the constant demoralizing pessimistic spewing of defeatist, cut & run rhetoric that would actually turn this into another DemocRAT version of Vietnam)".
Too bad no spineless gutless Repub will stand up publicly and blast Albright & Clinton for their failed policies and hypocrisy!
The Democrats have defeat covered and copyrighted.
According to Mr. Webster, "victory" means: --1. Defeat of an enemy or opponent (Saddam's in chains); and ---2. The state of having triumphed (Note the 70% of Iraqi citizens sporting a new purple finger).
VICTORY, VICTORY, VICTORY! (Feel free to gag on the word, Ms. Halfbright.)
So what? Democrats talk defeat too much, Madeline.
As a former, uh, State Department employee, I'd like to go on record as saying that Mme. Albright is the most embarrassing Cabinet Officer ever to schelp a portfolio. Nice pick, Hillary.
