... If Bush, having gathered previous secretaries of state and defense, had Madeline Albright arrested?
His predecessor, Madeleine K. Albright, a bit
stirred up after hearing an exceedingly upbeat 40-minute briefing
to 13 former secretaries of state and defense about how well things
are going in Iraq, asked President Bush whether, with the war
"taking up all the energy" of his foreign policy team, he had let
the nuclear programs in Iran and North Korea spin out of control
and allowed Latin America and China policy suffer by
neglect.
Maybe he could have thrown in the journalist too. "Exceedingly upbeat"? You mean they didn't have a death count marquee along the bottom of the video feed that presented the Iraqi ambassador?
