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.

"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."

R-I-I-I-G-H-T....they ordered an empty building flattened when Genifer or Monica - there were so many it does get confusing - was about to give testimony about the Bent One. Then pulled back. And what about Sudan trying to hand Binny to Clinton on a silver platter and Clinton refused?

" Frankly, if there was a President Gore, we wouldn't be in this particular mess"

Does Albright define " mess " as having deposed Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein ? Does "mess" mean rounding up Al Queda ? Does "mess" mean 2 years of a terror free US ? Does " mess" mean converting 2 terror havens into potential democracies-one within 120 days ? I guess to Albright, a " mess" is anything that doesn't involve the UN and the French calling the shots.I define "mess" as eight years of Clinton -appeasing and enabling terrorists. You had your chance,Madam UglyHat and failed.

Reminds me of that Seinfeld bit about the pure ugly:

Elaine: "Golda Meir! She'd make you climb a tree."

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

The only terrorism Clinton focused on was the fallacy of "domestic gun owning white boys"!We never saw any attacks by the "white boy" militias just a lot of attacks ON "WHITE BOYS"!Besides,if ALBERT were president the diaperheads would be over here!

[cake_crumb]

"Personally, I think if we had a Presidient Gore, we would be in the middle of a civil war."

I can guarantee you if Hillary makes it to the Oval Office there will be...I'll be up in front, leading the charge.

[HitmanLV]

It never ceases to amaze me how such 'smart' people leave themselves wide open for a wisecrack.

That's right Maddie, we would be in a wholly different particular mess! Most likely, much worse!

[Luke Skyfreeper]

Frankly, if there was a President Gore, we wouldn't be in this particular mess.

Damn straight! We would be busy burying anthrax victims, trying to wash the radiation out of what used to be Chicago, and roaming the streets in armed gangs, hunting for turnips, instead.

[concerned about politics]

Frankly, if there was a President Gore, we wouldn't be in this particular mess.

She's right. The nation of Islam would have claimed us as their own by now, and we'd all be wearing turbins, burkas, and praying to Allah 7 times a day.

Psssst- Democrats, Surrender is not an option.

[Go Gordon]

Sorry, I couldn't click the link to more pronouncements from that half wit. My hand would have shriveled.

If there was a picture of the witch next to the article, your hand would not have been the only thing to shrivel.

[tsali1927]

She is right----- Gore would be bombing asprin factories in Somilia

[Burlem]

January 1993. two CIA agents shot and killed as they enter CIA Headquarters.
Feb. 1993 terrorists arrested drove truck into theWTC...Clinton and company treated this as a crime, the terrosits had to go before the grand jury, of course none of what was said could be repeated to anyone including hte FBI.
November 1995 car bomb explodes US military in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
June 1996 another truck bomb explodes in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, destroys Khobar Towers U. S. Air Force barracks
then there is an attack in Kenya and Tanzania two U.S. Embassies.
The USS Cole in Yemen was attacked October 12, 2000.
Clinton and company did nothing, we were attacked several times on their watch,
Then September 11th, and we do something, thank God Gore was not president.

Information was taken from the speech by U.S. Navy Captain Dan Ouimette, titled:
America WAKE UP!

Too right! We'd have a set of different messes. It still makes me shudder to think of "Al Gore, POTUS."

[EGPWS]

What's aggravating is that she still gets treated by the lamestream press as though she is still relevant. The press continues to give the former Xlinton officials the platform to spin history.

Look at the bright side my friend, this is what the left is hanging on to for convincing the public that we need a change!

[ChemistCat]

Umm, IG, I hate to say it but there are at least two "domestic gun owning white boy" types that proved themselves terrorists...during the Clinton years. Maybe they had Middle Eastern help, maybe not. I personally think not.

Either way, Oklahoma is fixin' to try one of them again, and the first is beyond earthly justice now.

I don't like it any better than you do, but I am not blind to reality when it happens not to suit my philosophies.

If it had been up to Clinton, however, I'm sure McVeigh would still be on the loose and doing what he wanted to do. He never did anything effective to thwart any terrorism...just a lot of platitudes and pain-feeling.

[bert]

She knows she has American blood on her hands. She reminds me of a catipiller with its rear end pinned. Try as she might, she'll neve3r struggle free.

History will know her forever as the american Secretary of Apeasment.

Seen the picture of John Doe #2? It looks EXACTLY like one of the terrorists that flew a plane in into the WTC. That investigation into the attack is still going on. There were something like 27 cameras in the area, but the films are sealed.
Clinton prefered to blame it on Rush Linbaugh.

[ChemistCat]

I live here--I've heard all the theories. Our local talk radio programs still spend about a quarter of their time talking about bombing-related issues, even after all these years.

I just stick with the least hypothesis, that's all. I don't know that I'm right. I just know that a third bomber isn't necessary, nor is Iraq's support required, for what McVeigh did.

[hadaclueonce]

after 9/11/03, I don't care. We are shooting muslims, sending em to meet their 70 virgins. The world is better than it was 9/11/01. Never forget..

[okie01]

Madeline Albright hasn't slipped a bit.

She makes as much sense today as she did only yesterday.

Which is to say, none.
