Clash Over Postwar Iraq Rises in Congress

[Sticky]

WASHINGTON - House Majority Leader Tom DeLay "is in no position to question the patriotism" of President Bush's critics on Iraq (news - web sites), having once scathingly condemned President Clinton's military strategy in Bosnia, a Democratic leader said Thursday.

Rep. Steny Hoyer (news, bio, voting record) quoted DeLay as saying that the 1999 NATO (news - web sites)-led bombing campaign as "President Clinton's war."

"It was ... as if DeLay has blocked out from his memory" what he and other Republican critics said about President Clinton's response to ethnic cleansing in Bosnia in 1999, said Hoyer, the Maryland lawmaker who is the second-ranking Democratic leader in the House.

He also quoted him as saying it was a "peace war" waged by "peace hawks pursuing a dovish social agenda. Peace hawks are global idealists and former anti-war activists, including the youthful Bill Clinton (news - web sites)."
