Albright: Bush Should Hold Off on Iraq AP World News 03/03/2003 16:18:23 EST Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright urged President Bush on Monday to wait longer before attacking Iraq, saying current pressure was forcing Baghdad to disarm. Albright, who addressed a conference on increasing the number of women in politics, said the buildup of military force in the Middle East has led to new inspections and Iraq's decision to dismantle its outlawed Al Samoud 2 missiles. "We are actually accomplishing something," said Albright, secretary of state under President Clinton. "The president should take credit for the fact they are disarming." As an alternative to war, she suggested more intrusive inspections and even the threat to destroy suspected weapons facilities that the government refuses to open to U.N. personnel, the way U.S. and British pilots attack missile sites in the Iraqi no-fly zones. "The momentum seems to be moving in the direction of war," Albright said. "We might get the war over, but we night not get the postwar over." She said there has been increased anti-American feelings overseas in response to Bush's Iraq policy. "There must be some way to do what we wanted without alienating everybody," she said. Albright said her concern about going to war does not mean any support for Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. "I think Saddam Hussein is a terrible dictator," she said. "There's nothing to defend about him. I pity the Iraqi people."

Glad she had a great time... I have never been one for cards, I lose interest quickly. But I am always willing to give it a try, especially a game with a catchy name like phuckyerbuddy. I recently learned Cribbage, and have been playing with a buddy of mine. I enjoy that game quite a bit. The weekend was very low key. Yen and I spent a lot of time chatting about The Care to Help Project. Splitting up chores to be done, kicking around some fund raising ideas. We had a very nice saturday afternoon, it was just beautiful and sunny out...we went down to the public market, we found a nice deck seat in the sun where we sat sipping gin and tonics, watched the sunset and bs'ed. Sunday we went over to my Dad's for dinner, he is a great cook....he comes up wish some amazing meals. A very calm enjoyable weekend. scott
