Bush Administration Signals a Parting With Sharon
Filed at 3:57 p.m. ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In one of the Bush administration's strongest criticisms of Israel, Secretary of State Colin Powell suggested on Wednesday that a policy based on trying to kill Palestinians would lead nowhere.
"Prime Minister Sharon has to take a hard look at his policies to see whether they will work," Powell told a congressional hearing.
"If you declare war on the Palestinians and think you can solve the problem by seeing how many Palestinians can be killed -- I don't know that leads us anywhere."
