Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
NEW YORK, Dec. 19 (UPI) -- U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., said she wouldn't have supported a call for action against Iraq if she knew then what she knows now.
Clinton appeared this week on NBC's "Today" show as she weighs a possible bid for the Democrats' nomination for president in 2008. She was among the vast majority of U.S. senators who gave U.S. President George Bush authority to use military force in Iraq.
Bush argued that Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein possessed weapons mass destruction and posed a clear threat to the United States. The WMD allegation has proved false.
"If we knew then what we know now, there wouldn't have been a vote," Clinton told "Today," adding, "and I certainly wouldn't have voted that way."
Clinton differs from other leading Democrats like U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., who said he regrets voting for the war. U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., declared his own opposition when he was a candidate for the Senate.
