Ann Coulter Opposes Pre-Emptive War for Regime Change Based on Lies

In a recent column on the babes of Fox News, Ilana Mercer directs us to these words from a December 1 column by Ann Coulter:

With Albright at the helm of the State Department, Osama bin Laden ran wild throughout the Middle East, the North Koreans began feverishly building nukes under her nose, and we staged a pre-emptive attack solely for purposes of regime change based on false information presented to the American people by Albright about a world leader who was not an imminent threat to the United States.

Uh . . . Ms. Coulter, may I point out to you how utterly hypocritical those comments are, coming from you, one of the biggest boosters of George W. Bush, on whose watch "Osama bin Laden ran wild throughout the Middle East, the North Koreans [continue] feverishly building nukes . . ., and we staged a pre-emptive attack solely for purposes of regime change based on false information presented to the American people by [Bush] about a world leader who was not an imminent threat to the United States"? (She's actually writing about Albright as a reference point for the appointment of Condoleezza Rice to the same post Albright once held, but the words hold true for "Mushroom Cloud" Rice as well as her boss.)

Apparently Coulter figured out that some could use her words here against her, so she quickly appended to that paragraph the sentence "Slobodan Milosevic wasn't even a latent, long-term, hypothetical threat." I guess if he had been, Ms. Coulter would be a huge fan of Madeleine Albright then. After all, that's all Bush and his cheering section have to go on now.
