"The war against Iraq has been going on for more than 12 years.It has been killing scores of people every day," Clark told reporters at a press conference.

Clark, US attorney general in the Johnson administration, just concluded a trip to Baghdad with a US peace delegation to show their solidarity with the Iraqi people.

While Clark's delegation was in Iraq, US and British warplanes struck Iraq twice -- in Basra on Aug. 25 and in Mosul and a suburbof Baghdad on Aug. 27. Clark and the delegation visited the areas bombed and spoke to family survivors as well as hospitals officials who tended to the wounded.
