WASHINGTON Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is standing more clearly than ever in the middle ground on the Iraq War and taking some sharp fire from the antiwar left for doing so.
In the past two weeks, the New York senator and prospective Democratic presidential candidate who voted to authorize the war in October 2002 has made it clear that she won't join the rush to set a quick timetable for withdrawing American troops.
"I disagree with those who believe we should pull out, and I disagree with those who believe we should stay without end," she told an audience in Chicago on Saturday - after authorities dragged away a few noisy antiwar protesters who tried to disrupt her speech.
At the same time, Clinton has continually criticized the Bush administration's handling of the war, producing some carping from Republicans.
But that carping doesn't compare with what Clinton has been facing from the left.
