Martin Indyk, Clinton’s ambassador to Israel, has an NYT op-ed with a scathing review of Bush’s Middle East policy, or lack thereof:
None of this would matter much if we were talking about policy toward Benin. But in the Middle East our vital interests in oil and Israel intersect with the war on terrorism. It is a region seething with anger toward the United States. Our credibility is essential to our effectiveness there. But the administration’s lack of coherence, and the widening gap between its rhetoric and its actions, are casting doubt on that credibility.
Of course, you already knew that Benin was bordered by Nigeria, Niger, Burkina Faso, and Togo.
