2 TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2005 Edwards regrets Iraq vote BY JOHN WULSIN STAFF WRITER Former U.S. Sen. John Edwards, director for the UNC Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity, weighed in Sunday on an issue of national concern, but it was not poverty. In an opinion piece in The Washington Post, Edwards wrote of his regrets about his 2002 Senate vote to authorize the war in Iraq. Edwards began his article with a simple statement: “I was wrong.” His original view was based on information that he now believes was faulty, he continues in the piece. “The information the American people were hearing from the pres ident —and that I was being given by our intelligence community wasn’t the whole story,” Edwards wrote. “It was a mistake to vote for this war in 2002,” he admits. “I take responsibility for that mistake.” That sentiment was echoed strongly by Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, who has long been a vocal opponent of the war.

In his editorial, Edwards wrote that the “intelligence was deeply flawed and, in some cases, manipu lated to fit a political agenda.” Michael Bailey, a professor of gov ernment at Georgetown University, said Edwards might also have an agenda in challenging presidential hopefuls, most notably Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., to make similar statements about the war. “Iraq will be one of the biggest issues (in the 2008 election),” he said. While speculation has run ram pant that Edwards again will run for the White House in 2008, he has not declared any intent to seek office. Many critics of the war in Iraq are disappointed that Clinton hasn’t taken more of a stance against the war, he added. “This is all about Hillary Clinton,” Bailey said, referring to Edwards’ editorial. “She hasn’t been getting in the conversation the way Edwards is.” Henry Brady, a professor of ahe daily (Ear ifrrl PROFESSIONAL AND BUSINESS STAFF Brown, Katie Bynum, Ryan Cook, Lizzy Fitzgerald, Jorie Gripman, Mary Kincheloe, Emily McKnight, Jennie See, Katie Slusser, account executives.

In opposing the war now, they have to decide how to explain their original vote. Many have chosen to claim they were misled, he said. Kim Ruby, a spokeswoman for Edwards, said the article was released independent of any other politician’s statements. “His goals were just to present his own views,” Ruby said. She added that Edwards is not compromising his focus on proj ects at UNC. “The issue of poverty is his main priority.” Contact the State National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu. ager, Cindy Huntley, ad production coordinator; Beth O'Bren, assistant Mxhelle Rial, assistant Debbie Rosen, assistant legacki, Stephen Moore, Mason Moseley, Lindsey Naylor, Justin Ortiz, Seth Peavey, Laura Phelps, Kristen Rope, Kristin Pratt Brett Sturm, Persis Swift, Alexander Hal Tilemann, Sarah Wiest and John Wulsin.
