"The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow." -- Bill Clinton in 1998

 Durbin Says Obama Will Win Iowa and Nomination
Senator Richard Durbin predicted that Barack Obama will use a victory in the Iowa caucuses as a ``springboard'' to win the Democratic presidential nomination, while taking issue with his Illinois colleague's criticism of Senator Hillary Clinton's anti-Iran vote.Durbin, 62, said Obama was wrong to upbraid Clinton for her Sept. 26 vote to label the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization, a nonbinding resolution that Durbin also supported. Obama, who was campaigning in New Hampshire and missed the vote, said the language of the measure could potentially push the U.S. closer to war with Iran.

Senator Richard Durbin predicted that Barack Obama will use a victory in the Iowa caucuses as a ``springboard'' to win the Democratic presidential nomination, while taking issue with his Illinois colleague's criticism of Senator Hillary Clinton's anti-Iran vote.Durbin, 62, said Obama was wrong to upbraid Clinton for her Sept. 26 vote to label the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization, a nonbinding resolution that Durbin also supported. Obama, who was campaigning in New Hampshire and missed the vote, said the language of the measure could potentially push the U.S. closer to war with Iran.``It's rare that Barack and I disagree on an issue of this magnitude,'' Durbin, the second-highest ranking Senate Democrat, said in an interview with Bloomberg Television's ``Political Capital with Al Hunt,'' scheduled to air today. ``I have the same concerns that Barack Obama does about this administration and what they might do with the power that they have. But I don't think this resolution gives them a green light to do anything.''Obama, 46, called the resolution ``reckless'' in an essay published in the New Hampshire Union Leader yesterday, saying it ``could be used by the president as justification to strike Iran under the authority granted to him by the 2002 Iraq war resolution.'' Clinton is ``the only Democratic candidate for president who supports this reckless amendment,'' he wrote.Obama has repeatedly criticized Clinton for voting to authorize the use of force against Iraq in 2002.`Pressure'Clinton, 59, yesterday defended her vote and said a program of ``sanctions and pressure applied to Iran is better than going to war,'' in response to a question in Canterbury, New Hampshire. ``There was nothing in that resolution that gave President Bush or anyone any authority to go to war.''
