But she may find herself overshadowed by comments made by her husband, former President Bill Clinton, who is now saying that he opposed the war in Iraq from the very beginning, a war that his wife voted to authorize and that he did not exactly seem to be protesting at the time.

The former president was talking to Iowans about military families and then made a startling claim, saying he "opposed Iraq from the beginning."

Really?

At the time, the former president said United Nations inspectors should be given more time to look for weapons of mass destruction. But he was hardly, at least publicly, an opponent of going to war against Saddam Hussein. He talked up the threat posed by Saddam's WMDs.

"I supported the president when he asked the Congress for authority to stand up against weapons of mass destruction in Iraq."

"I think he's doing the right thing right now," Clinton told Larry King on CNN in early February.

A surprise guest at the meeting was Bill Clinton, whose agenda seemed to be protecting his wife. But things didn’t work out quite as planned. When Guy Saperstein, a retired lawyer from Oakland, asked Clinton if Democrats who support the war should apologize, the former President "went f**king ballistic," according to Saperstein. Forget Hillary, Clinton said angrily during a ten-minute rant; if I was in Congress I would’ve voted for the war. "It was an extraordinary display of anger and imperiousness," Saperstein says.
