Iraq war still 'time of testing'

WASHINGTON - A year after President Bush launched an invasion to topple Saddam Hussein, bad news from several directions is undercutting the White House case that progress is being made in Iraq and in the war on terrorism.

AGAIN, ONLY CLARK IS QUOTED OTHER THAN KERRY IN THIS ARTICLE....

Critics of the war, such as Wesley K. Clark, the retired general and former Democratic presidential hopeful, have argued that the invasion diverted resources that should have gone toward pursuing al-Qaida.

Yesterday, referring to the bombings in Madrid and Baghdad, Clark called the war "a strategic distraction from the war on terror, and that's been my concern, and the events of the last few days underscore it."

Sen. John Kerry, the presumptive Democratic nominee, has not gone that far in criticizing the war in Iraq, which he voted to authorize, though he has accused Bush of alienating allies in the run-up to the war. Yesterday, Kerry echoed Bush administration officials in calling for Spain to keep its troops in Iraq.
