WASHINGTON--Presidential candidate John Edwards begins airing television commercials in Oregon this week, tapping anti-war sentiment with hopes of boosting fundraising and luring core Democratic voters.

He also ran an ad in Washington, D-C, this month demanding that Congress stand up to President Bush's veto of a withdrawal timetable for Iraq. Edwards is trying to distinguish himself as the main anti-war voice among the leading Democratic candidates.

It's pretty convenient that the co-sponsor of the IWR who had firsthand knowledge of bogus intelligence while on the Senate Intelligence Committee at the time is now....presto! Anti-war!

:rofl:

Pass me the dog food...

4. Obama/Hillary appears to be supporting full funding of the Iraq War with no timetables or deadlines

Considering public sentiment on the war, now, that is much worse than any IWR bill (that anti-war folks like Sen. Kerry -- who you defended constantly two years ago for his IWR vote -- supported and voted for).
