WASHINGTON (AP) _ Democratic Rep. James McGovern, a leading anti-war voice in the House, said Thursday said he's supporting Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential bid despite her 2002 Iraq war vote.

"I feel strongly she would be a great president," the Massachusetts lawmaker said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "I want a president who not only wants to end the war, but has the experience and ability to make it happen."

Clinton has faced criticism from many Democratic activists for her 2002 vote authorizing military action in Iraq.

She has refused to repudiate her vote, but has criticized the conduct of the war, saying "if we knew then what we know now" she never would have voted as she did.

"On the war in Iraq, I haven't agreed with every vote she's made, and I'm sure she doesn't agree with every vote I made," McGovern said. "But the bottom line is that I believe if she is elected president and this war is not over, then President Clinton will end this war. And that's the most important thing to me."
