In remarks being reported throughout the Arab world Tuesday morning, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton blasted the Bush administration as a threat to peace in the Middle East, going so far as to accuse the President Bush of endangering the lives of U.S. troops.

Sen. Clinton delivered the unprecedented attack in an interview with the London-based Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat on Monday, with newspapers from Tehran to Islamabad picking up her harsh words almost immediately.

Typical was the coverage by Tehran's news agency Mehr, which quoted Clinton as saying that "the U.S. is trapped in the quagmire of Iraq."

"Referring to the Bush Administration policies as arrogant and insolent," Mehr said, "the wife of the former U.S. president further added that Bush is not willing to admit his mistakes in Iraq, the grave mistakes that have endangered the lives of both the Iraqi people and the U.S. servicemen alike."

The former first lady said that Bush's "mistakes have also threatened peace and stability in the region."

In comments that could only encourage the Iraqi insurgency, the top Democrat complained that "the United States was in trouble because it could not abandon Iraq, nor provide enough manpower to run the country, nor gather world allies willing to provide the necessary assistance for the gigantic task," according to Mehr's translation.

An outrage !
In any other country this woman would have been charged with treason.

"You've gotta win this thing"

[Polyxene]

Second what you said! And she says that we shouldn't question hers (and other democRATS') patriotism!! If what she said isn't traitorous, I don't know what is!!

Release date is May 4.... I think Morris should push it back to a week AFTER BJ Clinton's book release.

[EternalHope]

She and John Kerry are cut from the same cloth.

[dalebert]

Exactly.Pictures of lots more dead soldiers is what they want. Thats the only hope they have to win in 2004.

Unfortunately, this contains more paraphrase than direct quote, leaving ample wiggle room for an adept liar.

As with a host of other traditional conventions destroyed by the clintons, politics no longer stops at the water's edge.

ROTFLOL

Something's fishy about this report. Why would Hillary squawk to Asharq al-Awsat? I'd like to see a another source confirming the interview.

Bush Policies Endangering Mideast Stability: Hilary Clinton


BEIRUT (AFP) -- Former US first lady Hillary Clinton said the "stubborn" policies of President George W. Bush's administration were endangering stability in the Middle East, a daily reported Monday.

The New York Democrat senator told the London-based Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat that the Bush administration had not been "frank" with the American people concerning the human and financial costs in Iraq.

Clinton said the Bush administration did not have a plan for Iraq and did not have a full understanding of the situation there.

She said the United States was in trouble because it could not abandon Iraq, nor provide enough manpower to run the country, nor gather world allies willing to provide the necessary assistance for the gigantic task.

She described the Bush administration as "stubborn and arrogant" for refusing to admit its mistakes which were endangering US soldiers, Iraqis and stability in the Middle East.

Clinton said the June 30 deadline for handing over sovereignty to the Iraqis was a "last chance" not to be missed.

This is almost unbelievable. Was she on drugs or something, perhaps someone holding a gun to her head?

[Dr Snide]

But don't you dare question her patriotism.

[areafiftyone]

The only problem is this is in Newsmax. No other newsmedia picks ups stories from Newsmax.

[thoughtomator]

What "mistakes" exactly are being imputed here? This insinuation campaign is really very childish and foolish. But it does give me the feeling that Hillary is running for something...

[kstewskis]

In any other country this woman would have been charged with treason.

It needs to happen in our country. Why won't anyone have the guts to charge her with treason?

At the very least, I wished someone would slap that conniving (un postable expletive) upside the head hard with that broom of hers.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Shame on the puny-minded New Yorkers who voted for this clueless cretin!!

Shame on the New York Democrat Party who rolled over in 2000 and gave the nomination to this evil enabler.

[buffman]

That lying traitor. This is sedition. Believe me folks, she will be the Demorat candidate for President of the United States, selected during the Demorat convention.
