WASHINGTON -- The Clinton Administration in drag?

While visiting Kosovo, President George W. Bush committed the United States to garrison duty for years to come. In setting exit criteria which may never be achieved, he acted like Madeleine Albright in drag. The president owes an apology for his campaign criticism to his predecessor.

The candidate Bush had presented himself as something different. He called for a new humility in foreign policy and his soon-to-be National Security Adviser, Condoleeza Rice, suggested turning Balkans' policing over to the Europeans.
