On his recent interview for ITV in the UK, Bush stated that Clinton's intensive efforts to gain peace in the Middle East started a "significant intefadeh."
Bush muttered: "It wasn't all that long ago where a summit was called and nothing happened, and as a result we had significant intefadeh in the area."
The irony of this statement is that Bush's spokesman Ari Fleischer had made a similar statement and was forced to retract it. Bush added that having peace summits are a waste of time unless it appears they can be successful.
