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.
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.
Clinton said the June 30 deadline for handing over sovereignty to the Iraqis was a "last chance" not to be missed.
Hillary Clinton is pioneering the "broadening" of the post-Cold-War frontier in foreign policy. How? By making self-serving partisan claims (to the America-hating mid-eastern media) that provide maximum grist for anti-American propaganda to encourage and inflame our adversaries and undermine the abilities of our troops in peril to gain the trust of non-fanatical mid-eastern people perched on the fence between passive, fatalistic acceptance of the yoke of fascistic terrorism on one side and support for Coalition forces seeking to free them from such tyranny on the other side. According to Mehr News, Tehran, Iran Dateline April 26, 2004:
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.

Who will take heart in the mid-eastern media's reporting of her comments? American troops struggling to maintain trust they've gained, and regain trust they've lost, among the non-fanatical majority of Iraqis? Certainly not. The Baathist dead-enders trying to slaughter our troops and anyone not opposing our troops? Of course. The fanatical minority among the Shiites in Iraq? Of course. Al Qaeda? Of course. Islamic Jihad? Of course. Hammas? Of course. Hezbollah? Of course. The fascistic mullahs in Iran? Of course. The Baathists in Syria? Of course. Yassir Arafat? Of course. Ansar al Islam? Of course. The French? Of course.
Perhaps Hillary will take inspiration from Jane Fonda by producing an "intellectual workout" video tape to teach us intellectual "fatheads" who find her tactics offensive to "slim down" by embracing her radical departure from the non-partisan nature of our foreign policy that was prevalent among those in the "loyal opposition" until Reagan became president. Surely we dunderheads who lack the intellectual capacity to understand what is so obvious to the smartest woman -- no, smartest human-- on the planet-- no in all of human history-- could benefit from such "intellectual workout" to enable us to learn how encouraging our worst enemies by disparaging our capacity and will to defeat them is so much better than the reverse.
Hillary's Workout Tape.
You know me as Senator Clinton, a woman of great erudition with talent to make instructional tapes called "Hillary's Workout Edition."
My "Workout" reveals the positions for breaking the mold of tradition with methods to rip non-partisanship from statements on foreign positions.
To teach these positions I must display how to parry and thrust at Bush so the world perceives him a burl too stupid to merit their trust.
This tour de force lesson from Rodham explains how all gains I have gotten: To navigate shoals with partisan goals, one must have the will to scrape bottom.
So-what if my words to the press in mid-eastern lands that detest our goals in Iraq encourages not the people by terror repressed?
So-what if such words cause dismay among troops dispatched in harm's way implying we'll not succeed in Iraq? It pleases my Leftist soiree.

Ah! So now we know that HILLARY is behind the effort
to get President Bush to "admit his mistakes in Iraq."
It's something how these Leftist Infiltrators all
speak "Hillary Speak."
But Hillary doesn't dare open her mouth on American
soil, she waits where it's safe to show her true
colors to a Foreign Press.
Ms. Arrogant & Insolent Herself, dares to call Our
President's "policies" arrogant and insolent?
Stop talking to Your Mirror, Hillary.
And Stop putting down America to Our Enemies.
Hmmm. Check out this thread:
Scarborough: Hillary 'Strong-armed' MSNBC to Kill Story
"Our producers immediately double-checked our sources and we tracked down the reporter who did the interview with Senator Clinton, and by noon we found out that the interview did take place. And the senator‘s press secretary then started to back down."
"And by 4:30 this afternoon, the senator‘s representatives admitted that she did the interview. She did know the reporter was writing to an international audience, and she did criticize the president."
