Matthews: "It's very hard to tell" whether Sen. Clinton is with Democrats or Lieberman on Iraq

SUMMARY: On two different occasions, Chris Matthews suggested that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's position on the war in Iraq was close to that of Sen. Joe Lieberman than to that of congressional Democrats. In fact, Clinton has come out in opposition to President Bush's troop escalation plan and has introduced a bill to stop the escalation and begin a "phased redeployment" from Iraq, unlike Lieberman, who has publicly stated that he not only supports the war but Bush's troop increase, as well.
