Hillary wants Bush to seek a new war authorization vote

Very interesting. And especially interesting that she has Byrd on her side - that's a big deal, and makes this far more than just a simple go-nowhere stunt. Well, that assumes she pursues this vigorously. If she does, she'll get my kudos.

Presidential contender Hillary Rodham Clinton on Thursday sought to force another showdown with President Bush — and her Democratic rivals — over the Iraq war.

Sens. Clinton, D-N.Y., and Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., announced they would introduce legislation that would require the president to seek a reauthorization from Congress to extend the military effort in Iraq beyond October 11, 2007.

"If the president will not bring himself to accept reality, it is time for Congress to bring reality to him," Clinton said in a speech on the Senate floor.
