Albright Suggests We're Arranging A New Gulf of Tonkin

Who'd've thought that Rosie O'Donnell was a leading light in liberal foreign policy opinion?

Oh yeah-- pretty much we all did.

Here's Albright worrying that an "accident" in the Gulf could lead to a new Vietnam in Iran. Well, a new-new Vietnam. We already have the new one.

Of course, she's given to such insane lefty conspiratorial thinking. Albright, remember, famously remarked to Mort Kondracke that she'd heard that Bush actually had already captured Osama bin Ladin, and would trot him out just before the election.

She later claimed she was just joking. Mort Kondracke says she appeared to be serious. And certainly she doesn't appear to have much by way of a sense of humor.

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright told Fox News Channel analyst Morton Kondracke yesterday she suspects President Bush knows the whereabouts of Osama bin Laden and is simply waiting for the most politically expedient moment to announce his capture.

Kondracke made the announcement about what Albright told him backstage before an appearance on another Fox show on "Special Report With Brit Hume."

Kondracke was incredulous that a former secretary of state could believe something like that about a U.S. administration.

"She was not smiling when she said this," offered Kondracke, who believes Albright is serious about the conspiracy theory.

The syllogism:

1) War is never justified.

2) There are no external enemies.

3) Ergo, if America should make war, that war is ipso facto unjustified and furthermore created, provoked, and propagandized for by internal enemies, who are the only possible true enemies, given proposition 2.
