Clinton Can't Avoid Iraq

"In her first face-to-face meeting with voters since announcing for president, Hillary Clinton was asked about Iraq and ducked the question," according to The Politico's Roger Simon. "In the one-hour town meeting, Hillary did not mention Iraq a single time. She mentioned ethanol twice."

However, the pool report issued later from the Iowa Democratic Party Central Committee meeting, noted Clinton took on the question directly. She "did her riff about how if weíd known then what we know now, there wouldnít have been a vote."

Said Clinton: "Iíve taken responsibility for my vote. But there are no do-overs in life. I wish there were. I acted on the best judgment I had at the time. I said this was not a vote for preemptive war. The president took my vote, and othersí votes, and basically misused the authority we gave him."

The Des Moines Register notes the Clinton campaign didn't allow national media at the meeting, hence the pool report.
