Lay off US Powell tells Europeans
"Julian Borger in Washington
Saturday May 18, 2002
The Guardian
The US secretary of state, Colin Powell, yesterday delivered a sharp attack on European political leaders, accusing them of constant "bashing" of US actions in the war on terrorism.
Just days before President George Bush sets off on a crucial tour of several European capitals, Mr Powell claimed that contrary to the dominant European viewpoint, US foreign policy under Mr Bush had been a resounding success."
Not according to Crown Prince Mohammed and the Europeans.
And probably not as far as the rest of the world is concerned.
In fact since Bush has been in power, what exactly has he done in the field of foreign affairs?
Apart from starting a war, increasing world tension and walking out on long term negotiations?
