Terrorism expert Laurie Mylorie criticized ex-president Clinton on Tuesday, after he told the Council on Foreign Relations this week that President Bush should make achieving peace between in the Mideast his first priority and leave Saddam Hussein for later.
"How could anyone call what's going on between the Israelis and the Palestinians a peace process?" Mylorie told Judicial Watch Radio host Jane Chastain.
"The whole diplomacy called the peace process was based on fundamental misunderstandings of the world and the Middle East held by Bill Clinton and the labor party in Israel," explained the terrorism expert.
In fact, warned Mylorie, the Bush administration may be making a fatal error by leaving the impression that peace in the Mideast is a prerequisite for U.S. military action against Iraq.
"(Saddam) is using the time that we are doing other things to his advantage," Mylorie told Judicial Watch. "We have to go the war with Iraq and get rid of Saddam as soon as its military feasible because we cant allow Saddam to develop a nuclear bomb."
