Democrats remind about Bush Iraq speech
By NEDRA PICKLER

WASHINGTON -- Democratic presidential candidates made a point
of reminding voters that Tuesday was the fourth anniversary of
President Bush's speech declaring an end to major combat in Iraq.

"One of the most shameful episodes in American history," Hillary
Rodham Clinton's campaign Web site read in bold type below a
photo of Bush standing on the aircraft carrier USS Abraham
Lincoln in front of a sign that read "Mission Accomplished."

"Never before has a president pulled a political stunt when so
many American lives were and remain in harm's way," the New
York senator and former first lady said in a statement. She said
the war "will stand as one of the darkest blots on leadership
we've ever had in our nation's history."

Clinton and her rivals for the party's presidential nomination
seized on the image to promote new leadership in Iraq.
