Democrat hopefuls at one on Iraq
All eight Democratic contenders for the United States presidency have
attacked President Bush's policy in Iraq.
They were speaking in the first TV debate ahead of the November 2008 election.
Speakers urged the president not to veto a bill passed by both houses of
Congress which sets a timetable for withdrawing US troops from Iraq.
"If this president does not get us out of Iraq, when I am president, I will,"
said New York Senator Hillary Clinton.
Another front-runner for the Democratic nomination, Illinois Senator Barack
Obama, said: "We are one signature away from ending this war."
However, the president has said that he will veto the bill next week.
The debate was held in South Carolina, which will be the first southern state
to hold a primary election, early next year.
The BBC's James Westhead says that there was no real confrontation between
the candidates, and they will be relieved to have avoided any embarrassing
slip-ups.
Iraq swipes
"We have given the Iraqi people the chance to have freedom, to have their own
country. It is up to them to decide whether or not they're going to take that
chance," said Senator Clinton.
Mr Obama, who is running a close second to her according to opinion polls,
added: "The American people have said, Republicans and Democrats, that it's
time to end this war."
But although all the speakers were united in their calls for a withdrawal
from Iraq, the issue did give rise to attacks about political support for the
US-led invasion.
"I am proud that I opposed this war from the start," said Mr Obama.
Mrs Clinton, who voted to authorise the 2003 invasion, said that had she
known then what she knew now, she would have acted differently.
Senator John Edwards said that anyone who had voted to back the war "should
search their conscience".
Mr Edwards himself voted in favour, but has since apologised for doing so.
Key state
In the 90-minute debate, candidates had a maximum of a minute to answer
questions. No follow-up questions, or open debate, was allowed, which gave
some candidates the chance to side-step awkward issues.
All the Democratic contenders are currently focused on winning their party's
nomination in the primaries early next year. The chosen candidate will then
fight the Republican nominee in the November 2008 election.
"The significance of the debate is that it is in South Carolina, one of the
four states that are quite important in terms of the possibility of building
momentum before the 'super Tuesday' of 5 February, when the nomination will
really be decided," Stephen Hess of the Brookings Institution told the BBC
News website.
Mr Hess said the debate gave a "moment in the sun" for less high-profile
candidates, such as Chris Dodd, Bill Richardson and Joe Biden, offering them
a chance to reach a wider audience than usual.
The Republican contenders will hold their first televised debate on 3 May in
California.

Quick guide: US presidential elections
The road to the White House is long, complicated and expensive. BBC News
explains the process.
The early stages
A politician with presidential ambition usually forms an exploratory
committee to test the waters and raise money, sometimes up to two years
before the election. They then formally declare their candidacy and campaign
in key states.
The primaries
The primary season begins in the January before the election and lasts until
about June. This is where candidates fight within the two main parties,
Republican and Democratic, for their party's nomination.
Voters in each of the 50 states select party delegates, who in most cases
have pledged to support a particular candidate. Some states use a caucus - a
local meeting system - rather than primaries.
The party convention
The national party conventions, held a few months before the election, are
where the candidates are formally nominated.
Delegates who have been chosen during the state primaries pick the nominee,
though by this stage, the party normally knows who has won.
The winning candidate then picks a running-mate, sometimes from among the
defeated rivals.
The final lap
Only now do the candidates fully square up against each other. There is
massive spending on advertising, and a major flurry of state-by-state
campaigning. Much attention is paid to the televised debates between the
candidates. This can, but does not necessarily involve any independent
candidate.
In the final weeks, the contenders typically concentrate their attention on
big so-called "swing states", where the outcome is uncertain.
The election
American presidential elections are always held on the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in November.
Voters do not, technically, participate in a direct election of the
president. They choose "electors", who are pledged to one or another
candidate. This is known as the Electoral College.
