A leading anti-war Democrat is criticizing Senator Hillary Clinton on her stance on the war in Iraq.
Pennsylvania Congressman John Murtha has been an outspoken critic of the war. Last year he called on the Bush administration to immediately withdraw American troops. Now in an interview airing tonight on NY1s Inside City Hall, Murtha is turning his tough talk on Clinton.
I have been disappointed. I've been disappointed she hasn't spoken out more forcefully. She's a leader in the Democratic Party -- she's probably going to be the nominee for president next year, said Murtha.
Asked whether Clinton would make a good president, Murtha had this to say:
There's an awful lot of things that she would bring to the nomination process, but this is one area where she has to step up at some point and I don't know whether it's related to New York politics or what it is, but I would hope that in the next few months she would make her position clear," said Murtha.
In response to Murtha's criticisms, a Clinton spokesman said: "Senator Clinton has been a clear and consistent critic of the way the Administration has handled the war and believes the Iraqis must step up so we can begin to bring our troops home."

Ahhh.. .Now I get it.
Hillary is for the war but a critic of the administration on how it is handling the war.
Another I am for it before I was against it Lib. I want to see her and Kerry out lib each other in the primaries.
Want to see these thighs straddling a fence or your ears? ughhhhh, vomit bucket.
If Hillary changes her position on the Iraq War based on the "Bush Lied" premise, then she would be admitting that her husband, whom she was co-president with, turned over false intelligence to the Bush Administration through George Tenent and Richard Clark.
I just love it when the RATS eat their own. LOL I can't wait for all of those idiots to square off at each other when the Presidential race in 08 gets into full swing. :o)
Eeeeewwww, that's just plain yucky!! ;o)
It's not those who criticize the Clintons that die mysteriously.
It's those who have documented proof of their crimes.
Ask Jerry Parks. Oh, you can't, he's dead.
Sounds to me like the androids at MoveOn got to him. I think he's being assimilated into the Borg.
I have popcorn and cranberry/apple green tea.
You see, Diana, the American Communists have been so busy targeting President Bush and Republicans for the "fascist" label -- because Hillary did do some support of the war, she's in the "fascist" category in the mind of liberals. So, he's taking the mantle off her so she can now just look like a smiley-faced communist.
As I said, timing is always so important in these matters. What Murtha's doing is too late to be sucessfully done.
In Nam we had a name for rear echelon types-REMF's
Damn, damn-close my eyes.
Murtha's attacking Hillary? Why, let's vote for Murtha! He's a moderate! < /Hillary Triangulation in process >
Kick back in the recliner and kick off the berks. Might as well be comfy. ;*)
Can't relax. I have to FReep, work on the film, and lift some weights tonight.
My pleasure Linda! You need to be informed on all the antics in play. ;*)
