Edwards Criticizes Clinton on Iran

October 13, 2007 7:15 PM

ABC News' Raelyn Johnson and Eloise Harper report: On Saturday, former Sen. John Edwards criticized Sen. Hillary Clinton's vote and comments on labeling Iran's Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization.

In South Carolina, Clinton defended her vote saying, "I thought that was the right vote. A lot of people supported me on it. There are those who say oh well that's like voting for war-- that is absolutely wrong, it's deliberately misrepresented."

But in New Hampshire, Edwards "respectfully" disagreed, telling ABC News, "I think the lesson that we learned from Iraq is that George Bush will take whatever authority that you've given and push it to the extreme if it fits with his agenda. And this was clearly completely in line with George Bush's agenda. George Bush has been rattling the sabre on Iran since he declared them part of the axis of evil."

Speaking at a town hall meeting, Edwards reissued his concern about Clinton's vote, saying he worries six months from now "if Bush invades Iran are we going to hear again, 'Well only if I knew then what I know now'?"
