Ex-Security Adviser (Scowcroft) Rips Bush Diplomacy |
|
http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=519&u=/ap/20041017/ap_on_re_us/scowcroft_bush_4&printer=1WASHINGTON - The national security adviser under the first President Bush (news - web sites) says the current president acted contemptuously toward NATO (news - web sites) and Europe after Sept. 11 and is trying to cooperate now out of desperation to "rescue a failing venture" in Iraq (news - web sites) and Afghanistan (news - web sites).
Brent Scowcroft, a mentor to the current national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites), also said in an interview published in England that Bush is inordinately influenced by Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (news - web sites).
"Sharon just has him wrapped around his little finger," Scowcroft told London's Financial Times. "I think the president is mesmerized."

1. Does it seem that Bush's campaign is going to hell in a handbasket? |
|
It appears that virtually everyone is turning against them. I'm lovin' it.
