Albright accused President Bush's foreign policy team of suffering from "untreated bipolar disorder," saying the Bush administration is projecting contradictory messages on a broad range of global conflicts, including the Middle East and Afghanistan.

BARF ALERT!

In response to scathing criticism by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, the Bush administration said Monday it speaks clearly on U.S. foreign policy — and otherwise declined to take Albright on.

"I don't think I am going to get into a back-and-forth," said State Department spokesman Richard Boucher.

On Sunday, in a commencement speech at Tufts University, Albright criticized President Bush and his foreign policy advisers. She said they "seem allergic" to treaties designed to strengthen the rule of law and shift signals daily on where they stand in the Middle East.

Boucher, who was Albright's spokesman as he now is Secretary of State Colin Powell's, said "I think people give speeches, and we obviously listen to them and pay close attention to what they say."

Declining to characterize what senior Bush administration officials thought of Albright's criticism, Boucher said, "This administration has explained its policies very clearly, and anybody who wants to know those policies can just check with us."

Her policies worked so well, didn't they? Yeah, let's listen to HER.

Can anybody else remember ANY officials from past administrations making so many wild accusations as these Clintonistas have?

I tend to call this cow, Albutbright. She's like a lost sole in the wilderness seeking the way home; and while she's searching she tends to spout thoughtless thoughts just to be heard.

Who ever at the DNC leaked this "Bush Knew" non-sense really blew it. Now all these Clintoon clowns have to be let out of their old folks homes and defend their pervert president.

I'd say!

I think that they better NOT forget about this trump card that, if
followed up on, could totally expose clintoon. Can you believe it?
