Washington : US President George W. Bush is an absolute failure, as he lacks any credibility among the people, House leader Nancy Pelosi said on Friday.
In remarks to CNN, the Democratic leader criticized the war in Iraq and Bush’s economic and energy policies.
She rejected the president’s questioning of an alleged congressional delay in approving laws and said he doesn’t have the least notion about the matter.
Pelosi also accused Republican legislators of blocking initiatives aimed to put an end to the war or reducing the military contingent deployed in Iraq.
She declared her opposition to the president’s plan to open US coasts and the Alaska natural reserve to oil prospecting, as in her opinion, oil companies have failed to carry out any deep, broad prospecting in areas under their control.
Pelosi called on the president to release 10 percent of the country’s 700 million barrels of strategic reserve in order to push international prices down, which is rejected by the White House.
