| Description | Democratic presidential candidate Dick Gephardt on Tuesday defended his central role in rounding up congressional support for the war in Iraq, tackling the issue head-on less than a week before the Iowa caucuses.
As House minority leader, the Missouri congressman broke with many in his party in the fall of 2002 to help write and pass the resolution that authorized President Bush to use force against Iraq.
He appeared in the Rose Garden with Bush to promote the measure, which was also supported by three other Democrats running for president — Sens. John Edwards of North Carolina, John F. Kerry of Massachusetts and Joe Lieberman of Connecticut. |
