Chas Freeman: US No Longer Qualified to Mediate Mideast Peace | War Is A Crime .org: "In�his remarks today at the DC's New America Foundation, Ambassador Chas Freeman Jr. presented a scathing critique of a �US foreign policy in the Middle East. �He explained that the current�trajectory of�US foreign policy is bound to unfold more and more disasters around the world, noting that US missions in Afghanistan and Iraq and the stalled Israel/Palestinian peace process are exhausting America's political and economic capital. �Rather than pursue national interests, he argues, the US has become subject to a series of self-defeating policies and unsustainable civilian-military relations. �He made the case to revisit the original US objectives in Afghanistan, to reconsider the cost of US aggression and military�supremacy�in the world and to 'outsource' the fumbled US role in the Mideast peace process to more credible nations. A video of his complete remarks is below.�"
