US, North Korean relations now "dangerous mess", says former top diplomat Madeline Albright

Since the "madam" is no longer Secretary of State, I suggest that she shuts up. Madam, let the adults handle this mess you and your human scum" boss made. I swear hillary and bill are trying to keep their hands in the pot any way they can by using their lackeys to speak out!

In all seriousness, she is right. The situation is a mess.

If we would simply hand North Korea a few billion dollars worth of food and oil each year, and do so promptly and politely, our relations would smooth out in a heartbeat. If we stopped harassing them over their nuclear weapons, human rights record, and perhaps made some troop withdraws (except for a sacrificial force of troops at the DMZ they could easily kill with artillery) I'm sure we'd hear nothing more out of them than we do out of Zambia.

Sure, that would give a nuclear armed monster a chance to increase his arsenel indefinitely, and sell them to every other would be dictator-for-life that can afford the monthly payments. But what's the harm in that?

Former US secretary of state Madeleine Albright chides the Bush administration in a new book for wasting a "diplomatic opening" with North Korea left by her ex-boss Bill Clinton, branding a current nuclear crisis "a dangerous mess."

The hag is shameless. She is only fit to polish Neville Chamberlain's shoes, except he's dead, so in other words she's completely worthless in this day and age.

What a dupe!!. North Korea has admitted, bragged really, that they never stopped nuclear research and weapons development for a minute after the agreement that she reeached with them. Nonetheless, Clinton and Albright succumbed to trying to bribe them to behave. And now she has the chutzpah to blame the Bush Administration for creating the current mess.

She was so far over her head in that job it's an embarrassment that she once represented this country. I'll never forget the image of her stepping off the plane in Moscow for her first meeting there with that asinine cowboy hat.

By the way, the real 'dangerous mess' Maddie should be worried about is her grill. She's only two hit's with the ugly stick away from becoming Helen Thomas.

More cardio, less donuts. It's just that simple.

The North Koreans. This will affect how they behave in the future, and not for the better.

Who cares what Albright says?

Or at least human.

No bridge trolls need apply!

You say as if Fatpig had conscionce of peoples she kill.

It is long past the time that someone committed this ugly baglady to a quiet spot in the Green Pastures where she can get the psychiatric care she so badly needs!

Ms. Albright does not apply the same standard to diplomacy as the Bush Administration, and I am grateful for that. Case in point, totalitarian North Korea is the arsenal of the Axis of Evil and will soon be a direct threat to the United States. North Korea's thugs have no business being treated as popular representatives of their people by the United States of America. It made me sick to my stomach to see the picture of a smiling Albright toasting a man with the blood of hundreds of thousands on his hands (if not millions). My impression is that the President's policy is geared towards the long-term national security of the American people, which will be achieved through a peaceful, non-nuclear North Korea that can look at its Stalinist past as a guidepost from a wrong-turn taken long ago. Our national security is not served by favorable headlines in the New York Times discussing a plan for disarmament which will never be followed. I think the President understands results, and if it means armed confrontation now with an aggressor who could be arming mega-murderous terrorists five years from now, I for one am behind him.

Sorry for the rant. There are very few people in the world who can set me off like Madeline Albright.

Let us all remember please that this fat bag of suet danced onstage for the little Korean twerp.

The opinions of the "Romanian cleaning lady" are of no consequence.
