JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: A FLUFFY LITTLE ARTICLE ABOUT A TELEVISION SHOW RAISES WITH A PHOTO THE SPECTER OF MADELEINE ALBRIGHT - A TRUE NEOCON HORROR


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE GILMORE GIRLS IN THE GUARDIAN


Oh, that photo of Madeleine Albright cuddling with a youngster, how tender and charming.

I wonder how many viewers of this television series appearance knew of her horrible words at the time of the American embargo of Iraq in the 1990s?

She was asked during an interview on American television at the time about the tens of thousands of Iraqi children dying under the effects of the severe embargo her government - the Clinton government - was imposing.

Her unblinking answer was, "We think it's worth it."

Only recently this ghastly person was pronouncing on Russian news sources like Sputnik and RT, good sources for seeing the other side of American policies, and she was advocating suppression.

A true Neocon horror.
