The South Dakota Democrat, defeated for re-election last November, made the comment in a foreign policy speech set for delivery in Chicago on Wednesday, three days before a planned visit to politically pivotal Iowa.
Daschle has raised his public profile in recent weeks and has not ruled out a presidential run in 2008.
In an advance text of the speech, obtained by The Associated Press, Daschle said terrorism and AIDS had become greater threats under the Bush administration. He accused President Bush of giving rise to "a world opinion that now holds America in lower esteem than ever before."
"Looking at all of these things together, you would have to conclude American foreign policy today is broken," Daschle said.
Daschle proposed a "strategic redeployment" in Iraq that would draw down the first 80,000 of the 150,000 U.S. troops by the end of 2006. That should free up an additional 20,000 troops who could be sent to Afghanistan, he said.
