Hillary Clinton's (D-N.Y.) pledge to end the Iraq war if she becomes president rings hollow to some anti-war activists not ready to forget the Democratic frontrunner's once staunch advocacy for the invasion.
If I had been president in October 2002, I would not have started this war," Clinton told a cheering crowd at the winter meeting of the Democratic National Committee meeting Friday. "If we in Congress don't end this war before January 2009, as president I will."
But such rhetoric would have been preferred much earlier, said Dana Balicki, organizer for the anti-war group CodePink.
"We've heard enough," Balicki told Cybercast News Service. "We want to see her do something. Stop funding the war. January 2009 is too late. We've lost thousands of lives. How many more lives will be lost?"
