Hillary Clinton thought she had driven a stake through it, but it turns out to be the issue that will not die: She voted to authorize the Iraq war, she refuses to say it was a mistake and she refuses to apologize for it. And Barack Obama continues to whack her for it. Obama opposed the war early and was lucky enough to not yet be a senator when it first came up for a vote. Again and again, he pressed this advantage Thursday night at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles in the first one-on-one debate between Obama and Clinton. Obama exploits the issue in two ways: First, he says Clinton’s vote in favor of the war shows bad judgment. “I was opposed to Iraq from the start,” Obama said, “and I say that not just to look backwards, but also to look forwards, because I think what the next president has to show is the kind of judgment that will ensure that we are using our military power wisely.” Second, Obama says that his opposition to the war is something that he can use against the Republicans in the fall. “I think I will be the Democrat who will be most effective in going up against a John McCain, or any other Republican,” Obama said, “because they all want basically a continuation of George Bush’s policies, [and] because I will offer a clear contrast as somebody who never supported this war, thought it was a bad idea.” Obama also implied that Clinton might show the same muddled thinking getting U.S. combat troops out of Iraq that she showed getting them in, and that this is why he wants a date definite for withdrawal. “It can’t be muddy; it can’t be fuzzy,” he said. Clinton, clearly following a “high-road” game plan, mildly responded: “You know, the point is that I certainly respect Sen. Obama making his speech in 2002 against the war, [but] when it came to the Senate, we’ve had the same policy.”
