DES MOINES, Iowa: The main issues addressed by candidates in the
2008 US presidential campaign: Iraq Democratic candidates promise to
bring an end to the war in Iraq and to begin withdrawing troops
“immediately.” New York Senator and former first lady Hillary
Clinton’s 2002 vote authorizing the war is frequently criticized
by her rivals, including Illinois Senator Barack Obama and 2004 vice
presidential candidate John Edwards. Long-shot candidate Joseph
Biden, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, advocates
a federal system for Iraq.
