Former Iraqi PM: Bush policies an 'utter failure'
Published: Saturday January 3, 2009

Ayad Allawi, the American-appointed, one-time prime minister of Iraq, said Saturday the Bush administration's policies in the country have been an "utter failure."



In a wide-ranging interview with Arab newspaper Asharq al-Awsat, Allawi offered harsh criticisms of George W. Bush's handling of the nation's sectarian violence, and of the sitting Iraqi administration.

"Yes, Bush's policies failed utterly," said Allawi. "Utter failure. Failure of U.S. domestic and foreign policy, including fighting terrorism and economic policy." read
