Bush's policies risky, say Feinstein, Tauscher
Unilateralism, treaty rejections, nuclear threats could isolate U.S.

Washington -- President Bush's go-it-alone foreign policy, his administration's willingness to threaten nuclear attacks against countries without nuclear weapons and his rejection of several treaties are making the world more dangerous, Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California charged Wednesday.

Feinstein's sweeping criticism, which came in a speech to a Washington think tank, was echoed in part by Rep. Ellen Tauscher, D-Walnut Creek, in a separate speech to an energy group. Tauscher said Bush's decisions to walk away from arms control accords and consider building a new generation of nuclear weapons threaten to undo decades of successful policies.

The harsh words from two moderate Democrats who both voted in October for the resolution authorizing Bush to use military force against Iraq show that bipartisanship over U.S. foreign policy is shredding. Despite their votes on the war resolution, the two have called on Bush to give U.N. inspectors more time in Iraq before taking military action.
