Many Arabs on Thursday interpreted an American advisory panel's bleak assessment of President Bush's Iraq policies as proof of Washington's failure in the Middle East (http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=%22Middle+East%22&sid=breitbart.com).
But others worried about the consequences if the U.S. follows the Iraq Study Group's suggestions, warning that the report could fuel insurgents and others vying to fill Iraq's security vacuum.
"This report is a recognition of the limitation of American power," said Abdel Moneim Said, head of Al-Ahram Center (http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=%22Al-Ahram+Center%22&sid=breitbart.com) for Political and Strategic studies in Cairo (http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=cairo&sid=breitbart.com). "In the short term, America will highly suffer the loss of its reputation and credibility in the region."
