Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Clinton Foreign Policy Record: An Evaluation: Hearing Before the Committee on International Relations, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session, May 2, 1996 The committee met, pursuant to call, at 10:30 a.m., in room 2172, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Benjamin A. Gilman (chairman of the committee) presiding. Chairman Gilman. The committee will come to order. Before coming to office, the Clinton team´s most famous contributions to foreign policy were three aphorisms: first, that "the economy, stupid", was what Americans cared about, not the foreign policy accomplishments of the Bush administration or its predecessors; second, that the Bush administration was coddling dictators in China and pursuing an inhumane policy in Haiti; and, third, that the solution in Bosnia was "lift and strike". Upon assuming office, the Clinton administration found that things were a little more complicated than had been contemplated. It reversed course on China and on Haiti, found itself unable to lead our European allies to adopt a "lift-and-strike" policy in Bosnia, and found itself beset by a variety of other dilemmas. During the past 6 months, our Administration has looked at its record, proclaiming that there was much for it to be proud of. The Administration has claimed success in Haiti and Bosnia, the Middle East, in Ireland, and in Korea; in relations with Japan, on saving the Mexican economy, on the extension of the nonproliferation treaty, and on making progress on the fullest possible accounting for our MIA´s and POWs in Vietnam and elsewhere. I join in lauding some of the Administration´s achievements. For example, the indefinite extension of the nuclear nonproliferation pact was definitely a triumph. The Administration has done a credible job in building on the achievements of the prior Administrations with respect to peace in the Middle East and on the GATT. I do not doubt the good intentions of the leaders of the Administration. It is staffed by highly intelligent people who are certainly capable and well meaning. However, their list of successes is suspect and they do not own up to their many failures and missed opportunities. In short, their self-congratulatory rhetoric, I think is premature. Even as Secretary Christopher was claiming significant accomplishments across the board, we were carrying out a policy of strategic ambiguity with respect to China, enforcing a policy on the parties in Bosnia that is likely to lead to its partition.
