Kerry: Bush's Diplomacy 'Stunningly Ineffective' VOA News 18 Apr 2004, 18:54 UTC Likely Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry says the Bush administration's foreign policy, particularly in Iraq, has been "stunningly ineffective." Appearing on NBC television Sunday, the Massachusetts senator accused President Bush of misleading both the American people and his top aides about Iraq. He also said if elected, he would immediately approach the United Nations about taking a central role in Iraq. He added that the Bush administration's "arrogant" foreign policy has prevented foreign countries from joining stabilization efforts in Iraq. In a separate television appearance (ABC), National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice rejected charges from Mr. Kerry that President Bush has not done enough to internationalize the effort in Iraq. She said she does not understand why critics demean the contributions and losses of coalition members. On domestic issues, Senator Kerry repeated a campaign pledge to create 10 million new jobs and cut the deficit in half. He said he is entering a phase of his campaign in which the American public will get to know who he really is. Mr. Kerry said the Bush re-election campaign is using its $50 million television advertisement campaign to "distort" his record. The Bush campaign recently decided to scale back the commercials. The decision comes amid ongoing concerns over the Iraq war and the handling of terrorism before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Opinion polls continue to indicate that Mr. Bush and Mr. Kerry remain in a statistical tie. voanews.com
