CLEVELAND, Ohio - Barack Obama fired off a scathing foreign policy counter-attack on Hillary Clinton, just one frenzied day before momentous nominating contests he hopes to use to end her White House quest.


The new national security row erupted as several top Obama supporters upped pressure on the former first lady to concede the Democratic nomination to her rival if she fails to score big victories in Texas and Ohio on Tuesday.

The Illinois Senator, who would be the first African-American US president, hit back after Clinton said Saturday that his whole campaign was based on just one anti-war speech in 2002, as part of a withering critique of his national security credentials. She is seeking to become the first woman US president.

“To this day, she won’t even admit that her vote was a mistake or even that it was a vote for war,” he said referring to the New York senator’s 2002 decision to authorize force in Iraq.

“We’re still waiting to hear Senator Clinton tell us what foreign policy experience she actually has,” Obama said, according to a copy of his remarks obtained by Time magazine.

“You never know what crisis is going to happen,” Clinton said in Austintown. “I know that I will be able to defend our country.”

Earlier, her campaign rolled out 18 former admirals and generals to attest to her foreign policy spurs.

Former presidential candidate Bill Richardson, yet to endorse one of his former rivals, earlier expressed concern that a prolonged clash between the two Democratic titans could damage the party is it gears up to challenge presumptive Republican nominee John McCain.

“D Day is Tuesday. We have to have a positive campaign after Tuesday,” he told CBS.

“Whoever has the most delegates after Tuesday, a clear lead, should be in my judgment the nominee.”

1. She just said that it was a mistake last Tuesday. Is his memory failing?

Or is he just lying to the voters?
