"What is at stake is how to answer the potential threat Iraq represents with the risk of proliferation of WMD. Baghdad's regime did use such weapons in the past. Today, a number of evidences may lead to think that, over the past four years, in the absence of international inspectors, this country has continued armament programs." -- Jacques Chirac, October 16, 2002

One day after a new U.S. intelligence report said that Iran had halted work on its nuclear program, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) faced repeated criticism in a debate here for supporting a Senate resolution her rivals said encouraged saber-rattling rhetoric from President Bush toward the Middle Eastern nation.For the second time in four days, the Democratic presidential contenders gathered for a forum in the state where voters are increasingly sharpening their focus on the choices they will face at the caucuses on Jan. 3. Clinton, losing ground to Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) in Iowa, has stepped up her criticism of him in recent days.On Tuesday, however, Clinton sparred mainly with former senator John Edwards (N.C.), who accused her of taking a step toward war when she voted in September for a resolution labeling the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization. The disagreement came after a new intelligence report, released Monday, that said Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003 -- a finding that directly contradicted assertions by administration officials about the growing nuclear threat from Iran, and produced a clear divide between Clinton and six other Democrats who debated here Tuesday afternoon. "Senator Clinton and I just have an honest disagreement about this, but a very strong disagreement. I think it's very clear that Bush and [Vice President] Cheney have been rattling the saber about Iran for a very long time, and I said very clearly when this vote took place on the Iranian Revolutionary Guard that it was important for us to stand up to them," Edwards said.Clinton said her vote was aimed at encouraging diplomacy and deterring the administration from using military force against the Iranians. She sharply objected to Edwards's characterization of the vote."I understand politics, and I understand making outlandish political charges, but this really goes way too far," Clinton said. "Having designated the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization, we've actually seen some changes in their behavior."
