Edwards Insists On Discussing Iraq War
NASHUA, N.H. - Health care was the topic of the day Saturday, but Democratic presidential candidate
John Edwards made sure New Hampshire voters gave him another chance to say he was wrong as a senator to authorize the use of force in Iraq.

"Honestly, if you don't bring up Iraq, I'll bring it up," the former North Carolina senator told about 150 people gathered in a state senator's living room and kitchen.

...

"I just wanted to make sure anyone who hadn't heard me say it, knows that that's my position. On that issue and everything else, I want to make it absolutely clear to voters in New Hampshire where I stand," he said.

...

Edwards said the United States should cap its level of troops at 100,000 and bring home more than 40,000 troops immediately. His proposal closely resembles that of the bipartisan Iraq Study Group report, which recommends a complete departure from Iraq by this time next year.

...

He borrowed an analogy from his wife, Elizabeth — sitting nearby on the floor, leaning against a couch — and said the U.S. approach is like a parent scolding a child for not making his bed and then making the bed for him repeatedly.
