The South Dakota Democrat, defeated for re-election last November, made the comment in a foreign policy speech set for delivery in Chicago on Wednesday, three days before a planned visit to politically pivotal Iowa.
Daschle has raised his public profile in recent weeks and has not ruled out a presidential run in 2008.
In an advance text of the speech, obtained by The Associated Press, Daschle said terrorism and AIDS had become greater threats under the Bush administration. He accused President Bush of giving rise to "a world opinion that now holds America in lower esteem than ever before."
"Looking at all of these things together, you would have to conclude American foreign policy today is broken," Daschle said.
Daschle proposed a "strategic redeployment" in Iraq that would draw down the first 80,000 of the 150,000 U.S. troops by the end of 2006. That should free up an additional 20,000 troops who could be sent to Afghanistan, he said.

It's like whack-a-mole with these guys Daschle, Kennedy and Reid.
Dogcatcher.
*Snicker*
No, he's not ours - he used to be South Dakota's. Now he's no one's senator.
You know what's funny about this (among other things) is that GWB initiated an enormous AIDS package for Africa...more US$ than under ANY president. And then there's the other little item...there's not been a terrorist attack in this country since 9/11. So Daschle- like all Dems..is DISTORTING REALITY.
He wants to run for President and he can't even win in his own state!
Senator(d)from South Dakota.
And living here, I do not believe he would carry his home state in a Presidential run.
A gamble that will destroy them.
Pissy.
awwwwwww! Little Tommy LOOSER thinks he's still important.
Screw you commie! We're staying in Iraq until the job's finished!
What a pinhead this guy is.
Daschle... has not ruled out a presidential run in 2008.
LMAO!!!
Where's the Daschle picture in the chair?
Did you know that there is a monument being built to commemorate you just about 20 miles south of me. Right between Custer and Hill City, South Dakota. Sure hope they get it done in my lifetime.
My point exactly.
Hillary's veep
I call upon Tom Daschle to withdraw from the US Senate.
Oh, yeah,that happened already.
