Cindy Sheehan, the so-called "peace mom" on a crusade to end U.S. involvement in the Iraq war, is publicly blasting Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., for her continued support of the ongoing conflict.

 HILLARY CLINTON: IS SHE THE NEXT PRO-WAR DEMOCRAT TO FALL?
The Democratic Party's big problem is that people like Clinton, who also supported the invasion of Iraq, are trying to change the subject now that things have gone horribly wrong.
Biden and Clinton, who are on the short list to run for president for the Democrats in 2008, are more circumspect in their opposition to the war.

Harman and her backers cited the incumbent’s criticisms of Bush’s handling of the war in offsetting Winograd’s efforts to portray her as too hawkish and supportive of the White House.
This race was thought to be telling of others nationally in which incumbent Democrats regarded as centrists on the war are being challenged by candidates running on anti-war platforms.
On the opposite coast, Connecticut Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, the 2000 Democratic vice presidential nominee, who has been vocal in his support of the war, faces in his state’s Aug. 8 primary businessman Ned Lamont, who like Winograd is running on an anti-war theme and getting activist support.

In the run-up to this year's election, Democratic Party leaders have tried to assure the country they would not turn their backs on American troops fighting in Iraq.
