All eight Democratic contenders for the United States presidency have attacked President Bush's policy in Iraq, BBC reported.
They were speaking in the first TV debate ahead of the November 2008 election. The debate was held in South Carolina, which will be the first southern state to hold a primary election, early next year.
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.
