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.

TEHRAN, April 26 (MNA) — Former U.S. President Bill Clinton’s wife believes that the policies adopted by the U.S. President George W. Bush threaten peace and security in the Middle East, a daily reported on Monday.
Hillary Clinton, the New York Democrat senator, told the London-based Arab daily

Asharq al-Awsat said that the Bush Administration had not openly and clearly told the U.S. people about the human and financial tolls of the war on Iraq.



The democrat Senator stressed that the U.S. is trapped in the quagmire of Iraq. It can not free itself from the country.



Referring to the Bush Administration policies as arrogant and insolent, 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 mistakes have also threatened peace and stability in the region, she further explained.
