NEW YORK — Presidential hopeful Dennis J. Kucinich on Monday criticized Democratic front-runner John F. Kerry as being too similar to President Bush on Iraq.

Speaking at a forum of the National Assn. of Hispanic Journalists, Kucinich criticized Kerry, a Massachusetts senator who voted for the congressional resolution authorizing the war.

"Sen. Kerry voted for the war. Sen. Kerry supports the occupation. Sen. Kerry supports sending another 40,000 troops to Iraq," Kucinich said. "I'm wondering if the people of this country are ready to trade a Republican war for a Democratic war, because that's exactly where we're headed right now."
