Hillary Praises Iraq Elections

While top Democrats continue to downplay the impact of the historic Iraq elections on Sunday, New York Senator Hillary Clinton has taken an early step to set herself apart from the naysayers.

In a statement posted to her Web site two days before the vote's smashing success, Clinton said: "No matter what you think about the Iraq war, there is one thing we can all agree on for the next days. We have to salute the courage and bravery of those who are risking their lives to vote and those brave Iraqi and American soldiers fighting to protect their right to vote."

They are facing terrorists who have declared war on democracy itself and made voting a life-and-death process," the 2008 presidential contender declared. "We hope this vote succeeds and pray for a safe election day."
Though neither Clinton nor her husband has commented since throngs of Iraqis turned out to vote, her statement stands in marked contrast to comments by Sen. John Kerry, a likely rival in 2008, as well as other top Democrats.

On Sunday Kerry dismissed the vote, questioning its legitimacy and warning the White House not to "overhype" its significance.

The same day Sen. Ted Kennedy repeated his call for a U.S. pullout, suggesting the impact of the Iraq election was limited at best.
