Speaking to an Arab-language newspaper, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., charged President Bush's "stubborn" policies are endangering the stability of the Middle East.


Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y.

The president does not fully understand the situation in Iraq and has no plan, Clinton told the London-based Arab-language daily Asharq al-Awsat, according to Agence France-Presse.

The Bush administration has not been "frank" with the American people about Iraq's financial and human toll, she asserted.

The former first lady, whose remarks were published throughout the Middle East and Muslim world, said the "stubborn and arrogant" Bush administration has refused to admit mistakes which are endangering the lives of Iraqis and American soldiers and threatening stability in the region.

Clinton told the paper, according to AFP, the U.S. is in trouble because it can't abandon Iraq but is unable to provide the necessary manpower to run the country because of its inability to garner international support.

After a December visit to Baghdad during which she sharply criticized the Bush administration, Clinton was accused of giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

Clinton insisted she had come to Iraq to tell the troops "Americans are proud" of them, but she said back home "many question the administration's policies."

She then criticized President Bush for having been "obsessed with Saddam Hussein for more than a decade."

Al-Jazeera, the Qatar-based satellite news channel, broadcast her remarks immediately in Arabic translation.

The network also gave prominent play to comments by her traveling companion, Democratic Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island, who said the administration's justification for the war was "tenuous at best" and Americans "could look back and see the decision to attack Iraq was one that ended up being very, very costly."

Former police captain Anwar Ibrahim, Iraq's deputy minister of interior, was asked about the effect of earlier blasts against U.S. leadership by Democratic presidential contenders.

"Our enemies all have satellite television and they are watching," Ibrahim said, according to New York City police commissioner Bernard Kerik. "When they hear this kind of thing, they think they are winning."

NONSENSE,...other than proving that even female politicians will pretty-much do or say anything or kiss anyones butt for a vote and/or for retaining power and control.

After all, for some loon apparently believing(?) that ANYONE could further endanger the stability of The Middle East,...is absolute NONSENSE.

Historically The Middle East has never been a stable place, and more often than not usually the most volatile area on earth. Perhaps Her Lordship should study some World History? Then, it might be realized that her political BS just won't float,...even for The A-A-Arabs she's kissin-up-to for votes. To her face she's no doubt applauded. Behind her back, I'm certain that she is laughed at,...just as any other patronising Infidels, or even Kerry would be laughed at when out of sight or earshot.

I hate the woman and all that she stands for. She was just too chickenshit to make those statements at home.

We agree totally on the "stability" of the middle east.
