Senator Clinton 'heckled' at DNC winter meeting for stance on Iraq

[meegbear]

Earlier today, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) was heckled at the DNC winter meeting by audience members who are unhappy with her stance on the war in Iraq.

Clinton, who voted in 2002 to give President Bush the right to use force to overthrow the Saddam Hussein regime, spoke today of the non-binding resolution that will appear before the Senate next week as the first time the Democrats will "tell the president, 'no!'"

"If I had been president in October of 2002, I would not have started this war," Clinton claimed.

However, her speech was nearly derailed by a handful of guests in attendance shouting "make it binding!" and "how about you bring them home."

Moments later, Clinton promised that, if the war hasn't ended by 2009 then "as president" she would do so.

Speaking on oil company profits, Clinton said "I want to take those profits, and I want to put them into a strategic energy fund."

"I am not running for president to put band aids on our problems," Clinton said.

EDIT: I didn't see/hear it, but I wouldn't call that heckling either. As I said in another thread, it seems that RawStory likes to post anti-Hillary things more that pro.
