Bingo !!
That is the whole ball of wax, there was bad information cooked up by Cheney and his cohorts. (no one knew it at the time.)
Senators had clearance to see these files.
Anyone that voted for it-
did a reasonable thing.
In 2002 Obama was just an Illinois State Senator
he did not have clearance to see what the Senators were given.
He did have a close relationship with Tony Rezko, a now convicted felon, that may have been mixed up with Saddam Hussein- In the "oil for food" scam.
So Obama was against removing Saddam. What a surprise.
American Thinker: Obama's Iraqi Oil for Food connection
He gave a speech, so what.
This is the crux of his great judgment??
He did not campaign against the war when he ran for U S Senate in 2004.
He pulled the speech off of his website then.
When he was elected to the Senate, he did not vote with Dennis Kucinich, and all the other end the war Senators.
He voted with Biden, Hillary and all the ones that voted to authorize the war.
