Edwards Hits Anew at Clinton on Iran

(11-19) 13:47 PST Davenport, Iowa (AP) --

Democrat John Edwards took a new slap at
presidential rival Hillary Rodham Clinton on
the issue of Iran on Monday, but sidestepped
a question on whether he thinks the Iranian
Revolutionary Guard is a terrorist
organization.

Edwards told reporters after a campaign event
in eastern Iowa that he and his presidential
rival agree the election is about change.
But he added, "I think if you defend the
system in Washington, you're for the status
quo; if you want to continue the occupation
in Iraq, you're for the status quo, and if
you're not willing to stand up to Bush and
Cheney on Iran, that's the status quo."

Edwards has repeatedly criticized Clinton for
voting for a Senate resolution in September
that declared the Iranian Revolutionary Guard
a terrorist organization. Edwards maintains
that vote has allowed President Bush and Vice
President Dick Cheney to "rattle the sabers"
of war concerning Iran.

"There was no reason for the Senate to vote on
the question to begin with," he said. "I think
it was a mistake. I would have voted no had
I been in the Senate, and I think it's very
important ... to show real strength against
Bush and Cheney on this particular issue."

1. And he should be. n/t

2. K & R!

3. Hillary is unfit to be President because she continues to trust Bush

by giving him authority to wage yet another war.

Biden and Dodd voted against this travesty!

4. Expect the Hillarites to show up any minute

I actually don't think a Hillary presidency would be that bad but geez, her supporters are starting to piss me off.

5. They got their shifts mixed up.

They all were on the 8AM - 4PM shift today.
It was chaos.

6. So true...

I gave up and took a nap.

7. Edwards clumsily sidesteps the question and goes after Hillary. Doesn't

get him very far in shoring up his weak national defense credentials. Sad, just soooo sad.

8. I hope all candidates keep going after her on Kyl-Lieberman.

It points out a signficant and important difference between her and the rest of the field.

As Biden said, that vote hurt us in Pakistan and throughout the Islamic world.
