Bush Reaches Out, Gets Lessons From Albright
The AP reports on Bush's Iraq pow-wow at the White House today:
President Bush brought foreign policy heavyweights from yesteryear to the White House on Thursday, including Democrats who have opposed his Iraq strategy. He got support for the mission — along with a few concerns — and a right to claim he was reaching out.
Now to my favorite part, couretesy of the always entertaining Madeleine Albright:
Albright also said the administration's approach toward the nuclear ambitions in Iran and North Korea was off the mark.
Yes, of course. Because this approach was so spectacularly successful:
And that St. Patrick's day apology to Iran in 2000 also worked out well - as you can see from the response: "Iranian Leader Rejects U.S. Overture for Better Ties."
No doubt Ms. Albright also disapproves of Mr. Bush's top secret policy of keeping Osama bin Laden held captive in some undisclosed location.
You know the saying, "I tease because I care." Actually, I've always rather liked Albright even though I haven't necessarily agreed with her politics. From the looks of the AP report, she was gracious and sensible today. We could use much more of that from Democrats these days.
