Madeleine Albright Says U.S. Must Use Diplomacy Surge

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Once the highest-ranking woman in the history of the United States government, Madeleine Albright spent Friday in central Iowa.

The former Secretary of State is campaigning for Democratic presidential candidate and U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Albright dealt with serious issues all over the world in her position as secretary of state. She said the world is in serious trouble.

"I don't think I have ever seen the world in such a mess," Albright said to a packed house at the West Des Moines Community Center.

"I believe that Iraq is going to go down in history as the greatest disaster in American foreign policy. That means that I am acknowledging it is worse than Vietnam," she told the group.

Albright is advising Clinton on foreign policy and believes the U.S. needs to withdraw from Iraq, stabilize the country, help in reconstruction and use a diplomatic surge.

Madeleine Half-bright has her most brilliant idea for progress in Iraq: a "diplomatic surge" accompanied by surrender!! Yeah, Mad Maddy, that sort of thing has always worked well in history - how is that you are supposed to be the great foreign policy guru for the Clintonistas???

p.s. I love that she denies that Shrillery is a "cold fish" -- guess what, if you've been in public life for DECADES and people think you are a cold fish, well maybe that's just reality!! It's not like we need this Half-bright lady to tell us what Shrillery is "really like"......

Albright needs to stick to playing bingo at the nursing home. She was a total failure when she was supposed to be doing this stuff. Stuff it Maddie!

Yeah lol. That’ll work. Lets all just talk about it. That’s worked sooooo well in the past.

If Dimwit was half serious she’d mount a real protest. Like, maybe, pour gas all over herself and light up.

I’d pay attention if she did that. I bet millions would pay attention if she did that. Why, she could end up being the most watched news event of the week.

I heard Kerry use that same phrase “diplomacy surge” this morning. Someone needs to tell the Dems how lame that sounds.

“I’m convinced this openly expressed spirituality is one of the reasons Army and Marine officers seem to be making greater headway in terms of ground-zero diplomacy with sheiks and tribal elders than the rank-and-file civilian diplomats. The Iraqis simply trust American soldiers, their word, and their sincerity, because of their spirituality.”

I think that we should listen to Maddie! I mean, she did such a terrific job with North Korea! Check out the wonderful photo-ops of the toast she made with the little troll!

Yup, she's the expert on foreign affairs!

Yeah, I recall how Kim Jong-Il, Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Baby Assad, Iran’s Mullahs, Muslim jihad terrorists in the Balkans, etc. thought she did a splendid job solving the world’s problems..... just let the bad guys do whatever they want to do, and if things get really bad maybe fire off some cruise missiles at an aspirin factory to distract from Bill Clinton’s “zipper problems”......

believes the U.S. needs to withdraw from Iraq, stabilize the country, help in reconstruction and use a diplomatic surge.

The only surge this clown is familiar with is the constant surge of methane escaping her lower digestive tract from eating all that Czechoslovakian food.

Madeleine is obviously one of those stupid Jews from the lost tribe of Israel....

She’s been dead wrong about everything she every said or did — even her blind faith that Clinton would NOT lie to her about Monica...

Why must we be home to all the evil leftist dumb Jews like Madeleine, Schumer, Levin, Boxer, Feinstein, Lautenberg, Wyden, Specter, Sanders, Feingold, Lantos, Waxman, Wexler, Frank, Nadler, Weiner, etc, etc......

Why are we so burdened, when there are all those RIGHTEOUS and COURAGEOUS Jews in the world who would love to come to America...

I’ve been unsuccessful for years, trying to trade off some of our “Lost Tribe - Stupid Jews” for some of the True Jews...

She’s always good for a laugh.

Secretary of State Madeleine Albright was mistaken for a maid during peace negotiations for Kosovo in Rambouillet, France. According to a report in the “New York Daily News,” the Secretary of State at first wasn’t recognized by the Albanian delegation when she walked into their room.

“One member of the delegation, who didn’t realize who she was, and probably thinking she was some cleaning lady because it was after midnight, simply said to her, ‘Give us five minutes and please go away,’” recalled Albanian diplomat Dugagjin Gorani in War on Europe, a British TV program. Instead, Albright exploded in rage, swearing at the group, according to the reports.

"No military surge, no matter how brilliantly performed, can succeed without political reconciliation and a surge in diplomacy in Iraq and the region," Barack Hussein Obama (Aug 2007)

""What we really needed to do in Iraq and the region was not a troop surge but a diplomacy surge" Wesley Clark (Feb 2007)

"We don't need a surge in troops in Iraq -- we need a surge in diplomacy." Chris Dodd (April 2007)

Bill Richardson used the "diplomacy and dialog" stump.

Maddog Albright is an outright war criminal and a poster child for the reintroduction of the auto-de-fe. That’s the only punishment which would be appropriate for what she and SlicKKK KKKlintler did to Yugoslavia.

She had her chance to surge diplomacy in the Middle East, but she read the situation wrong and accomplished nothing. Bush/Condi are accomplishing a lot and there is probably more diplomacy happening there than any time since 1948.

Hell, Maddy’s fat enough to be a one-woman surge all by herself! Let’s drop her into Sader City some night and let her go at it Of course, we should alert the Hajis that she’s Jewish...
