Iraq focus imperils US, ex-Pentagon official says

WASHINGTON: The United States risks losing sight of some key foreign policy issues, including relations with China and the Muslim world, because of its ''single-minded focus'' on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, a former senior Pentagon official said.

''We have to put the search radar on again for the rest of the world,'' said Suzanne Patrick, who resigned as defense undersecretary for industrial policy in July.

She was the latest of a number of former officials to criticize the Bush administration, which is on the defensive over the war in Iraq and domestic issues including mounting gas prices and its slow response to Hurricane Katrina.

''After four years of single-minded focus on the global war on terror we must be careful that we're not missing other things going on in the world,'' she said in an interview with Reuters.

1. Well honey, I don't think we need Bush involved in more trouble making.

So, He can stay with Iraq as far as I am concerned.
