Hillary Clinton vows to end Iraq war

37 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Senator Hillary Clinton vowed to end the Iraq war if she is elected president in 2008 and the war is still raging when she moves into the White House.

Clinton, criticized by core Democrats for her vote in the Senate to authorize the war, is facing intense pressure over her stance on the conflict as she heads onto the presidential campaign trail.

"I want to be very clear about this: If I had been president in October 2002, I would not have started this war," she said at the Democratic National Committee's winter meeting, the first chance for the party's candidates to trade direct political blows.

"If we in Congress don't end this war before January 2009, as president, I will," said the New York senator and former first lady.
