family squabble:Leading Anti-War Democrat Takes Aim At Senator Clinton NY1news.com August 30, 2006 A leading anti-war Democrat is criticizing Senator Hillary Clinton on her stance on the war in Iraq. Pennsylvania Congressman John Murtha has been an outspoken critic of the war. Last year he called on the Bush administration to immediately withdraw American troops. Now in an interview airing tonight on NY1’s “Inside City Hall,” Murtha is turning his tough talk on Clinton. “I have been disappointed. I've been disappointed she hasn't spoken out more forcefully. She's a leader in the Democratic Party -- she's probably going to be the nominee for president next year,” said Murtha. Asked whether Clinton would make a good president, Murtha had this to say: “There's an awful lot of things that she would bring to the nomination process, but this is one area where she has to step up at some point and I don't know whether it's related to New York politics or what it is, but I would hope that in the next few months she would make her position clear," said Murtha. In response to Murtha's criticisms, a Clinton spokesman said: "Senator Clinton has been a clear and consistent critic of the way the Administration has handled the war and believes the Iraqis must step up so we can begin to bring our troops home." New Yorkers can catch the full interview with Congressman Murtha tonight on a special late edition of “Inside City Hall” tonight at 10:30 p.m.
