[rodeodance]

2. she also said all options have to on the table but Diplomacy diplomacy diplomacy is KEY

[Toots]

3. Wasn't she also the one that said

"What is the point of having such a great military if we won't use it"?

[TwilightGardener]

9. Yep--that's her. What a great lady.

:sarcasm:

[SharonAnn]

10. There is a time to use it. It just shouldn't be the first option, or the second, or ...

6. Ahh, the lovely woman

who said that, how many was it? half a million dead Iraqi children was an appropriate price to pay for the sanctions against Iraq. Such a lovely, humanitarian.

Oh, do I need the sarcasm thingie?

[Wilms]

7. Not really.

Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?

Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: I think this is a very hard choice, but the price--we think the price is worth it.

--60 Minutes (5/12/96)

Then-Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's quote, calmly asserting that U.S. policy objectives were worth the sacrifice of half a million Arab children, has been much quoted in the Arabic press. It's also been cited in the United States in alternative commentary on the September 11 attacks (e.g., Alexander Cockburn, New York Press, 9/26/01).

13. You think she should have a bunch of children running things?

Does experience and wisdom not play a part at all in your fantasy world? While I don't agree with much of what some of these people say and do I still have RESPECT for their abilities and knowledge and wisdom. Apparently you do not..

[DemCam]

11. While I don't always agree with her...I love this capable and wicked funny lady.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

12. Yeah. Lovely. She and Bill did such marvelous diplomacy in Rwanda and the Congo.

Too bad about all the bodies.
