Madeleine Albright questioned by David Swanson on October 31, 2012, in Charlottesville, Va., Obama campaign office. Albright says she is sorry for having said that killing a half million Iraqi children was worth it (whatever ‘it’ was) — not for her participation in their deaths, but only for having answered the sort of question conveniently almost never asked anymore. Asked about the current sanctions on Iran, she said that was not the same at all.

Recommended. The sanctions on Iran are already putting the lives of Iranians with diseases such as haemophilia, multiple sclerosis and cancer at risk. They are also affecting those with long-term dialysis needs. This is because the sanctions make it impossible for Iranians to pay for those items.
Just as with the sanctions on Irak these sanctions are designed to fail and thus provide Americans with the casus belli they want.

It’s a sad truth that the American public has a strong taste for foolish and bellicose sound-bytes, and even more disappointing, the bellicose behavior that follows.
It’s shameful that people like Madeleine Albright, and Henry Kissinger are treated as respectable, when it’s so obvious by their own words, and actions that they are psychopaths.
Why hell, the Nazis bumped off 1.5 million Jewish kids and the world said zip.
I suspect it’s just a question, as always, of whose ox is being gored.
Or as Adolf Eichmann infamously said, paraphrased, ‘Kill two hundred kids and it’s a tragedy; kill 500,000 or 1,500,000 and it’s a statistic’.
How will ‘god’ ever forgive us?
Oh, that’s right, What ‘god’?
M. Albright. Runaway from fascists………….. only to indulge in fascistic activity later in life.
Good for her.
OK– she’s sorry she made a mistake/s.
But there is still blood a’ dripping from her fangs.
It won’t bring back any past, present or future lives.
When will we actually SIT DOWN AND TALK?
Videos of her in Prague, where she was confronted by some Serbians. ;)

I was going to ask you if that was the occasion when she screamed about “disgusting Serbs” but having watched the videos I see it is. A reminder (if one were needed) that racial hate comes in many forms and has many targets.
It’s also a reminder (if one were needed) that when it comes to slaughtering foreigners that there’s no difference whatsoever between the two major American political parties.

So important a reminder, thanks David. Any OFA office in the country these days will have their own truth interference team, operating in full protect and ignore it mode.
Could not watch the video a second time, but MA’s eyes could not come down off the ceiling behind your camera, that I remember.
They hide Hennry Kissinger but have Albright out running around saying “911!” One obvious and logical question and the flying monkeys of truth suppression rush out.

…yes
There’s not much of a difference at home either.
Our teachers are becoming radicalized and they are a font for insightful comments.
